Greil had published a number of copies
of an article on tuberculosis that he had
prepared, containing cardinal rules that
the consumptive was TO obey in order
TO secure the best results, and in order
to prohibit the spread of the disease.
The sputum cups are looked upon as
one of the best Of methods to keep II
