[Smoking cessation therapy in the outpatient departments for pulmonary diseases and tuberculosis (PALT) (author's transl)].
Based on experience gained so far in the field of health education and because of the tasks facing them at the moment, PALT is considered to be particularly suitable for establishing Advisory and Information Centres for Smokers. Report will be given on the numbers of participants and the successes achieved as regards the consulting hours for smokers carried through since 1971 and the 5-days-plans. It is stated, that it is impossible to strive to effectively control the smoking habit neither by way of the consulting hours for smokers nor by means of the 5-days-plans. Both methods may, however, be successful in influencing individual persons to give up smoking.
[Historical report on the situation of the "fight against tuberculosis" in the town of Halle, Germany, 1899 (author's transl)].
In 1896 the so-called "Department X" of the "Association for Public Welfare" was founded and turned to be the first organisation of the "fight against consumption" in the town of Halle. Under the guidance of PUTTER and REINEBOTH a first dispensary for tuberculous patients was established and became the prototype of similar institutions in Germany and other countries.
