NOT AN INHERITED DISEASE
Tubercuiar Germs Acquired Only Through Association With Those
 Who Are Afflicted.

Very fat people and very thin people are more likely to have con- sumption than people of good aver age weight, If your brothers or sis ters have consumption, your chances are against escaping it If your ia ther fingered along with consumption. or your mother died of consumption. there is danger that you may get con sumption But if your father and mother both died of consumption when you were very young. you have a good chance of not getting the dis ease.
 The reason for all this Is that people do not inherit consumption but ac- quire the tuhercular germs from as- soelation with people who have con sumption. That Is the reason why any sick brothers or sisters in the house are likely to convey the dis ease to you It is the reason why one of your parents, lingering along through many years of the disease ia likely 10 spread it to other members of the family-but if this parent or both parents die of consumption whtle you are very young you may have been spared the long years of possible infection.
 The more the scientists study the subject of tuberculosis the more they are convinced that 1t is a disease of poor food and poor nourishment IT has been repeatedly asserted that there Is no excuse for rich man hay. ing consumption in his family.
