Mode Of Entrance.
There are three methods by which
the germs gain entrance into the
body. The most common is the res

by direct incubation.
The germs enter the respiratory
tract by inhalation In the vast ma
jority of cases the sputum of diseased
persons is cadsative both of the dis
ease and it's great frequency of local.

tuberculous wards. The closer the
contact with tuberculous subjects the
greater the danger of infection. In
nursing sisterhoods the death rate eX-
ceeds IS per cent. busting, sweeping
or shaking the bed clothes disseminate
the germs. There is less danger of in
lection when the windows and doors
are open and when the busting is
done with moist cloths rather than
with feather busters. Married per-
sons. because of their intimate associa-
ton, may contract the disease from
one another; as was noted by Ettmul-

wife to the husband.

the formation in the system of certain
