example. Not many years ago diph-
iberia used TO strike down one mem

members OF the family, enable them to
resist infection.
But with tuberculosis the case Is al
together different First, the disease
comes on so stealthiiy that in 9S cases
out OF 100 il Is firmly established in
the victims body before its presence
is recognized. This is the reason that

lence, this long postponement OF total
disability and death, does not arouse
the fear that more swift and viru-
lent attack would arouse so that tu-
berculosis has months to play around
all members OF the family before It's
presence and danger are known. More
over, the ignorance OF many families
OF It's contagious nature. the ignorant
disregard of many people concerning
the existence and potentialities OF
germs, gives the tubercle bacillus a
most favorable opportunity. So, where
diphtheria causes the alarm which re-
suits in It's defeat, tuberculosis works
silently and may infect the family be-
fore they know IT,
That may help you 10 understand
the startling Significance of the fact
that In families where there Is any tu-
berculosis at all. there are almost
always two or more cases. The dan
ger OF family infection is not only ex-
ceedingly great. but. under most cir
cumstances, unavoidable. Dr. Herbert
