For everyone VINO wishes to be ex-
amihed for tuberculosis, the Mime
ota Public Health association and
the State Advisory commission on

County Public Health associations
Since tuberculosis is catching every
one who has been near to the disease
in any way Is especially urged to be
examined at these clinics. Where
here has been tuberculosis In a fam
lily, all members should be examined
Thus the early stages may be discov'

too late.
Finding the cases is the first steI
in the control Of tuberculosis. Thu
clinics reveal surprising things very
often. People who do not imagine
they have anything serious enough tt
warrant going to a physician, drop II

be examined "for fun" and the Sc
rious pains-taking specialist goint

1t is hoped that many will avail
themselves Of the opportunity to b.
