 Cheerfulness And Good Bodily Health
 The Best Protection For The
 Family of The Invalid.
 The best preventives of infection for those around the patient are healthy bodies and cheerful minds. Therefore, see to it that every one who lives with a tuberculous patient, or especially with a eonsumptive, keeps as well, strong and cheerful as possible. One who is nursing a con sumptive should be careful to get a brisk walk in the fresh aid for at least an hour daily. In this way there need be absolutely no danger to any one living with him, nor need he be in danger of reinfecting himself, and it is entirely unnecessary as we'll as very cruel to treat these patients, as is so often done. as though they had smallpox and could infect you at once
 K How Must You Live After You Are Apparently Well Again So As To Remain Well?
 The most difficult time for the pa tient comes after his doctor, or the sanatorium, has discharged him, and he begins to resume his work nd his ordinary life. At this time he has to meet the difficult question of a re turn to active life and so some sort of work by which he can support him self and his family Whether or not he will remain well after he goes back to work rests largely in his own hands and depends on his will power. his self-control and his common sense, and upon his applying in his daily lift all the knowledge which he has gained while under treatment. He must never forget that just as the dis ease has taken many years to develop to the point where it made him sick, so it will be several years, even in mild cases, before his lungs will be entirely healed
 Why You Must Be Careful.
 The chief reason why patients be- come sick again is because, thinking they are just as well as they ever were, they are imprudent and neglect proper care of themselves. While you can get well of tuberculosis and be able to do good, hard work, you can never again risk putting an unlimit- ed tax on your strength regardless of the consequences, and must be al ways careful to think before you act. On the other hand, do not go around morbidly dreading return of this disease, for cheerful, hopeful men, tai attitude is most important for health. Remember, you are not yet

Doc tors may have told you your lungs are as clear as bell" but even so, do not consider yourself a cure. The doctor cannot always be sure of the condition of the deeper parts of your lungs, and his failure to find at his examination does not prove that there cannot be disease in the lung.
