Movement to Suppress Tuberculosis.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond
question that pulmonary tuberculosis
or consumption of the lungs is both a
preventable and a durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abrasions Of the skin, through
the mucous membrane of the mouth
or the intestines and through the
lungs. The germs of the disease are
found in the sputum Of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk of
animals suffering from the disease.
The germs are found nearly every
where. These germs cannot live in
the tissues OF a thoroughly healthy
person, as the cells Of the body are
capable of destroying the germs, but
when the body is weakened by indi-
gestion, by the habits of breathing
foul or bad air. by anything which i'm
pairs the health. the tissues lose their
power to destroy germs so that when
they enter the body they find lodge
ment, grow and develop and tubercu-
losis Of the lungs, bowels or of some
other part Is the result.
Statistics show that at least $50, 600
persons die OF this disease in this
country annually. Four or five times
that number OF persons are sick all
the time with this disease. Tubercu-
losis kills more than any other NAL
ady. Experience has shown that the
disease is not incurable. as has been
generally supposed, but is very cur.
able malady If taken in time, and If
the right treatment is applied. Not
less than one hundred thousand lives
could be saved every year by the APP
plication Of proper means for prevent
Ing and curing this terrible disease.

fact that the bank took a portion Of

was not entirely ignored.
