"Since the publication of the first edition much more attention has been paid by the public press to the question of preventing consumption than had been the case during former years. Numerous movements in connection with the consumption crusade have been started or have entered on a new lease of life. Special attention should be called to the great campaign initiated by Mr David Davies, M. P. For Montgomeryshire, against consumption in Wales as a Memorial to King Edward VII. The Welsh Campaign bids fair to be the most comprehensive one that has been waged against the disease, and is one which merits every encouragement. By the courtesy of Bernard Mallet, Esq. , the Registrar-General, we are enabled to give in Appendix IV two interesting tables of mortality from tuberculosis in Wales, which have been specially prepared for us, and which it is hoped , may prove of great utility to the organisers of the Welsh movement.
