q The excellent showing would in
dictate that Ei Pnso is one OF the
heaithiesf places in the emitted States
although the city has many tubercu-
losfs victims They have almost all
come TO this city and were not born
here.
In this connection the medical pro-
fessiou has recently learned that tu-
berculOsis Is not communicable, as
has been believed for so many years
The white plague. FL PasO physl-
clans and surgeons declare IS con-
ditiou that comes from within ana
not from without To is acquired In
childhood A healthy person, they
declare could eat pounds OF tubercle
baciIi and It would not hurt them
This, the students Of the disease
say, was suspected after numerous
Instances were examined wherein
some member OF the family had the
disease and the other members were
wen and remained we'll Then, dur
ing the war, when soldiers were eN-
amined for tuberculosis doctors had
70 breathe the breaths OF as many as
$50 tuberculars daily and not one OF

Have The Proof
Discussing this army work one
physician said Tuesday that he had
TO wipe scum from his glasses doz-
en- times a daV after they had beeE
breathed on by tuberculars he was
examining in the army
The men who were believed 10 have
contracted tuberculosis during the
war, the theory now IS had the con-
dftion IafeutIy all the time and eU-
posure and OFerTork broke down
their Resistance. Asked IL IL Is safe
20 live in rooms formerly occupied

Another discovery that has been
D. eel r. "a HH
and scientists IS that i has the

study Brain In Action
Another operation that was recent Z
" performed in Fl PasO which IS
causing much comment over the
country was the removal OF large
piece OF a Mexican woman Skul4
By Dr.. Z. D. Strong The woman had T.
been terribly burned In IRE ana 2 4
scfmitar shaped patch Of her skull /
decayed. II was as large as a man s /
hand This was successfully removed /
and the brain CONCEALED over the /
cavity and the woman is recovering Z
rapidly. After the skull was removed /
took advantage OF the op- l
portunity to study a live human |

Painless dentistry is another tact /
IN science. It used 20 be that the 4
big signs out in front OF the dollar
down and dollar a week dental shops
which read painless dentists were I
scoffed at by the ethical dentists and
the more clever Of the laity- Now
there IS q sort OF superdentlsr known
IS an orthodontist who can do things
with teeth that people ten years ago
didn't believe possible
Your Move Next
one of those things is. Extract
teeth without pain. You sit down ~
I chair. get some sort Of 'larup'
shot into your gum and pretty soon
you ask the dentist why he doesn't
Tank out your incisor. Then he
laughs and shows you the cory prong
nd asks YOU why you don't get out
1f the chair as it's all over.
