Tuberculosis, Preventable and Cur
able.

Evidence is constantly accumulat-
ing that the great state campaign
; against tuberculosis is bearing rich
harvest. The people of Iowa in
adopting open air methods of living
and especially sleeping, have done
more to decrease the incidence of
tuberculosis than at first may appear.
Rest in the open air has come to be
regarded as essential to health. To
sleep in open porches or in open
bed rooms is deemed now necessity,
winter as well as summer
To keep the resistance of the body
at it's normal power is now known to
be the best method of prevention not
only of tuberculosis but other dis
eases as we'll. Thousands of our
people are now living open-air lives
and enjoying freedom from coughs,
colds and respiratory difficulties
which formerly bothered them and
made life miserable.
Then too, the great tuberculosis
education has sent hundreds to the
State Sanitorium where they have
received most splendid training in
the treatment of their disease. Oak
ueSAS Aoo uOAAOA0I1 oICO C"O AoCI0.
One, that tuberculosis is a durable
disease in it's earlier stages; and two,
that persons recovering must learn
the cure,
There have been relapses of per-
sons who have been patients at the
Sanatorium, but barring few ex-
ceptions, such relapses were due to
the fact that the patient did not stay
long enough, or failed to carry out
the knowledge acquired at the in
stitution. There is no royal highway
open to a person suffering with lung
tuberculosis. His disease generally,
has been a long time developing. It
will take a long time to recover.
DR.. Scarborough, superintendent
at Oakdale, after extended investiga-
ton, makes the observation that
many patients admitted to the SAM
forum do not remain long enough.
Patients entering Oakdale should be
earnestly urged by the attending ply
stefan to stay as long as in the judg-
ment of the Sanitorium staff, it is
deemed necessary.
The many cooperating influences
now at work give sure promise of
the ultimate control of tuberculosis
in Iowa. Let the pace not slacken
even in the heated period of the
summer months.
