As soon as schemes for the provision of a service were made known the requests for help mounted steadily. It is not without a certain amount of reluctance that the British people accept domestic workers not of their own choosing into their homes. That they do so and are prepared to pay according to their means for the assistance given may be taken as an indication that the need was genuine although inevitably there was abuse by the few. There were of course domestic help services in operation in some areas long before 1948, but they were services limited mostly to providing help for households while the mother was in bed following confinement. The extent of the need for other types of illness and especially for the chronically ill was certainly not fully realized.

In 390 B.C., it was recognized as a communicable disease by the Greeks. Physicians of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries A.D., however, following the lead of Hippocrates, regarded the condition as due to a diathesis, but the discovery of the tubercle bacillus by Robert Koch in 1882 placed it finally and definitely among the infectious diseases. Prior to Koch’s discovery various workers had, in the middle of the nineteenth century, demonstrated experimentally that tuberculosis was an infectious disease and Budd2 concluded that the disease was spread from one person to another by tuberculous matter from patients suffering from the disease. Of the three types of tubercle bacillus we need concern ourselves to-day only with the human and bovine, which are both disease-producing in man. Generally speaking, pulmonary tuberculosis is mainly due to the human type of organism, but cases do occur where there is a bovine infection. On the other hand, non-pulmonary tuberculosis has been found to be more frequently caused by the bovine bacillus, though the human type is not infrequently a cause. While investigating a large series of cases of abdominal tuberculosis in Scotland over the period 1914-1944, Blacklockl found that 77 ~9 per cent. of cases of abdominal tuberculosis and z2 per cent. of tuberculous cervical adenitis had been caused by the bovine bacillus. The scars resulting from tuberculous cervical adenitis were frequently observed in this part of the country a number of years ago, but the introduction of pasteurization of milk and the tuberculin testing of cattle have contributed greatly to the elimination of this form of the disease, and it is not now common to see people with such disfigurements. The question of attested herds will be referred to later under the heading of food. The major problem in control is infection with the human type of organism, which usually takes place as a result of contact with an open case of pulmonary tuberculosis. In Carlisle during the period 1912-1918 there were 639 deaths from tuberculosis of all forms, and of these, 597 or z3 per cent. were found to be due to the bacillus of the human type3. Numerically, the pulmonary form of tuberculosis far outstrips the nonpulmonary, both in notifications and in deaths. The size of the population of Carlisle, 50,047 in 1908, rising to 68,100 in 1953, does not enable one to draw far-reaching conclusions, but Table I gives some idea of the death rate per 100,000 of the population in the years 1909, 1919, 1929 and 1939 onwards. It will be seen that there has been a general tendency for the death rate from all forms of tuberculosis to decline. Naturally, the fall has not been smooth, and during the Second World War and after it there was an expected rise in the death rate from this disease.
