KEEP GERM AWAY
Solve tuberculosis Problem by Keep
ing Germs Away from Infants.

Keep the newborn babe and the
tuberculosis germ apart and the
whole tuberculosis problem has been
solved once and for all
This statement, made at the recent
convention of the National Tubercu-
losis association at Atlantic City by
Surgeon *. X. Lloyd of the United
States Public Health Service, is given
further emphasis by the Michigan
Anti-tuberculosis association in it's
health campaign in Michigan.
No baby is ever born with tuber-
culosis, the Michigan association
again points out. This is contrary to
the belief of a very large per cent of
the population of this state, in spite
of the thousands of times the state
ment has been made. Very many
even highly intelligent people still
believe that tuberculosis is an in
herited disease. And this belief does
untold harm. The person who be-
lieves that the disease is inherited be-
comes fatalist on the subject. He
thinks tuberculosis is something one
cannot escape anyway.
Hence the emphasis that is placed
on the statement: No baby is ever
born with tuberculosis. The person
who understands that thoroughly will
take greater pains to keep the tuber.
culosis germs and the baby apart as
long as possible. He will make every
effort 10 safeguard his child and all
children against contact with the
disease.
Most tuberculosis that develops in
later life is first contracted in child
hood, remaining dormant until many
years afterwards. Even though il
may not be possible to keep the child
and the tuberculosis germ permanent
ly apart, the real hope in the tuber-
culosis campaign lies in work among
children, the Michigan association de-
clares.
