sumptive. II we could collect and
destroy all the spite of such patients
and make. them cover their mouths
when they cough we could almost
wipe out the disease. You may have
consumption and not know it.. If you
have consumption don't give it to
others; if you have not, don't let 9TH
ers give It to you. Don't spit your
self, and don't allow others to. do so.
The habit is both dirty and danger
Gus.
Consumption Is Durable
The earlier you begin the surer
the cure. Advanced cases are almost
hopeless. If you suspect infection
consult a physician. Shun quacks and
quack medicine as you would a plague.
If you can afford it go to sanator-
ium for treatment. If you cannot do
this have constant medical attention
at home. The dividing line between
those things that hurt and those
things that do not is SO thin that a
sick person is not able to decide which
is best. Live in fresh air day and
night, eat plenty of good, wholesome
food, avoid evertion, work and wor-
ry. Have rooms as clean as hot wa
ter, scrubbing brush and sunlight will
make them.

FACTS ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS
FOR THE WELL AND UNWELL

tuberculosis is disease caused by
the growth in the lungs or in other
parts of the body, Of a germ called
Tubercle Bacillus. This germ throws
off poisons which kill the structures
around it. If not arrested it spreads
and finally kills the person in whom
it grows.
1t is the most prevalent and the
most deadly of all diseases. 1t causes
one death in every ten of all ages and
one death in every four between the
ages of twenty and forty-five. 1t
thus finds most of it's victims in the
midst Of the serious work Of life.
No age, however, is exempt.
Keep Well! The healthier the body
the harder it is for the germs to mul-
tiply.
Live Well! The growth of the
germs is favored by bad living, i'm
pure air, darkness and dirt.
1t is seldom inherited, but is con-
tracted from some other case after
birth. No new case can arise except
from previous one.
Children are very susceptible and
may get the infection from tubercu-
lous parents, relatives or nurses. They
may also get it by using milk, from
tuberculous cows. This is known as
the "Bovine" type and is prone to
attack glands, bones and intestines.
When you have
Cough lasting month or longer;
Loss of weight;
Afternoon rise of temperature;
Night sWeats;
Run down feeling;
Get busy and consult doctor. De-
lays are dangerous! Early diagnosis
means cure. Late diagnosis means
premature death!
Consumption is Communicable
1t is given by one infected person
to another. The germs are contain
ed mostly in the sputum. If this is
deposited on sidewalks or on floors
it will be ground under foot, blown
around as dust and inhaled by other
people, and will finally reach the
lungs. If the individuals resistance
is below par, infections will be the
result. The germs live longest in
damp, dirty, dark, ill-ventilated
homes. Hence. it is almost always a
house or indoor infection and is rare
ly caught outdoors where the sun
light, our best disinfectant, quickly
kills the germs.
Infection may also come from in
haling "droplets" of spit when pa
tient coughs or sneezes. 1t may be
contracted from the milk of tubercu-
lous cows or from any food contain
ing living germs of the disease.
Consumption is Preventable
Since it is mostly caused by germs
in expectorated sputum, the surest
way of preventing infection is to
sterilize the sputum of every con-
