and wish to say 10 all, that spent
one year in a sanatorium for the
study on treatment Of tuberculosis

Others from becoming infected thru

any individual, and few words
Of inquiry would have been all that

crowded school or church, or at
any public gathering than you could
be from my work that had been
laundered and exposed to sunlight
and air after being finished. A
