How to Prevent the Spread
Of tuberculosis.

This is disease as most Of US
know is caused by the entrance OF
some minute growth that are forms
OF life. Some are animal and some are
vegetable origin. These little growths
are called germs.
These germs or Bacteria often ira
vel through the air having been thrown
therein by some person or thing.
In view ofthis act, sence we are to
tell of its prevention, we feel we could
not improve upon the following rules
already established by Sanitariums
and by the general medical profess
sion as worthy of observation in eli.
forts for the prevention and control OF
tuberculosis.
list. The house should be screened
against flies and insects of like ma
ture because they will infest them
selves with these germs gotten from
the discharges ,sputum and decayer
matter and deposit lit in and upon
the eatables of the families thereby
endanger our lives.
End. The patient infected with tn
berculOsis should be isolated as com

permit. This should be done for the
good of the patient, other members
Of the family and the general welfare
