‎Rare first appearance of the report from the Danish Royal Commission of 18th November 1901 on how to prevent and cure tuberculosis. The commissions work had profound influence on the spread of tuberculosis and in particular the death rate which dropped dramatically. ""In 1901, a national society for the prevention of tuberculosis was stated in Denmark, which now has ten sanatoria, and the results of the very comprehensive measures adopted have been so good that Denmark has long held second place to New Zealand in having the lowest tuberculosis mortality."" (New Zealand, Parliamentary Debates, 1948).‎
