Excerpt from Trachoma: Its Character and Effects These figures are eloquent in what can be done by proper inspection, not only for the prevention of the introduction of trachoma into a community, but for its eradication. Nowhere is the trite saying, Prevention is better than cure, more applicable than in the case of trachoma. It is highly important that countries and communities where the disease is not endemic, where no foci of infection have been started, where to exist it must be imported, should protect themselves from its ravages by proper legislation and inspection.
