guarded against"
i What to Do.
! In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculO-
sis. "All who have recovered from In
! fiuenza," says the Surgeon General,
SHOULD have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by competent physician. In
fact, 1t is desirable to have several ex-
,aminations made month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
fright living, good food and plenty Of
fresh air."
Danger Signs.
! The Surgeon General warned espe-
cially against certain danger signs,
such as decline" and "colds which
hang on"
These, he explained, were often the
beginning Of tuberculosis. "If you do
mot get we'll promptly, If your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs Of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the
care Of a competent physician, Tuber-
culosis is durable IN the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous In Tubsr-
I; culosis.
"Above all dc not trust In theEnis-
leading statements Of INSCRIPTIONS
patent medicine takers. There III no
specific medicine for the cure Of tuber-
culosis. The money spent on such
medicines Is thrown away; 1t should
be spent instead for good food and de.
cent living"

Washington, d. G. Especial -Ac-
cording to report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic Of Influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an Increase In the preva-
lence and deaths from pulmonary tut
.berculosls. A similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
holme, the chief medical officer Of the
English public health service, In his
analysis Of the tuberculosis death rate
In England.
/ In order that the people of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
Iof other countries Surgeon General
Rupert blue of the United States Pub
ilic Health Service has just issued a
warning emphasizing the need Of spei
Icial precautions at the present timei
I"Experience seems to Indicate" says
the Surgeon General, that persona
whose resistance has been weakened

lily susceptible to tuberculosis. With

'Then you consider this serious
'menace?' was asked. "ln my opinion
1t is, though hasten to add 1t is dis
,tinctly one against which the people
can guard. So far. as one can estimate
there are at present about one million
cases of tuberculosis In the United
States. There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show ex-
actly the number of tuberculous per-
sons in each state despite the fact that
most of the stRtes have made the dis
ease reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been In force for
many years, over $4,000 cases Of to-
berculosIs are registered with the De-
partment of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dition of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
$4,000 The very careful health sur
Fvey conducted during the past two
