Il. I. Rcar(lon Tells of Necessity Of !
Educating People Concerning Dis
ease.

The establishment of a county tu-
berculosis lamp, and the reporting of
cases of tuberculosis during their in
| cipiency are unquestionably very de-
sirat,e for the treatment of patients,
and al.S to a large extent to safe
guard the public health. Treatment
OF tuberculosis Is important and hu-
name, the segregation of oil COM
Inunicable diseases within reasonable
bounds Is also of vital Importance.
But head and shoulders above the
reporting. treatment. and isolation of
tuberculosis. and all other diseases,
communicable or otherwise, is the ed
ucation of the masses Of the people as
to how to avoid contracting and conf
municating diseases to others.
An ounce Of prevntion is always
worth more to the individual and to
the public than many thousands
,unds Of cure.
The safeguarding Of the public
health Is really the main reason for
isolation Of tuberculosis, and quaran-
tine of all communicable diseases. the
individual suffering being, to q large
extent lost sight Of in the desire to
protect the public health tLrvusn
spread Of communicable diseases.
But narrowed down to it's original
analysis and common sense view it
is the individual responsibility to take
care of your own health in order to
safeguard other peoples health. The
protection Of the public health begins
with the protection of the individuals
physical condition necessarily.
Education of the masses of the
ignorant as to the best met DIS Of
protecting their individual health in
order to avoid contracting Of COM
munnicable diseases will do away
with thousands of cases Of tuber-
culosis. typhoid fever. diphtheria,
hookworm. malaria. dysentery. and
other diseases spread through ignor-
ance OF the necessary precautionary
measures.
Hence the importance Of q county
or unit health survey to educate the
masses how to protect individual, fam
lily, and the public health.
Education Of the masses along this
line will also, tend to educate the peo-
pie to the importance and objects Of
q county tuberculosis camp, because
a well educated or even a partly edu-
Gated county Of people, taught the
value Of protecting individual and
public health will naturally create re-
cruits for the tuberculosis camp ad-
vocates. while at the same time re-
ducing recruits for the tuberculosis
camp.
The advocates of tuberculosis
camp will get closer to the realiza-
tion Of their dream by advocating the
county sanitary survey. which will so
stimulate interest in improvement Of
sanitary affairs of the county that this
interest and information will result
In the majority Of the educated peo-
pie backing up the preventive meas
ures as we'll as the curative methods
OF the isolation or tuberculosis camp.
