The answer ninety-nine times out

monary tuberculosis Is the familiar
skeleton in our closets. The facts
are that the tubercle bacilli make
themselves at home in many tissues
and the name of the disease de-
pends on their location.
Go into one OF the children's hos
pitals or rincurable" homes and you
will find little ones by the dozens
strapped to splints with trouble IN
the limbs or with spinal curvature.
This is bone tuberculosis; and IL
allowed to run on will make life
long cripples of the children.
The district school and factory
nurses are big factors in helping to
stamp out this phase of the disease.
We have learned that knee trouble.
club foot. ankle sores, spine and
hip troubles, scrofula, running
sores and the other similar ills are
not hereditary and inevitable, but
are rather the direct result of care
lessness on the part of adult con-
sumptives.
These conditions found in the
schools and in the crowded tene-
ments indicate that the tubercle
bacillus has been active in the
household in which the kiddies live.
and that the Board of Health has
been appointed for political reasons
rather than because OF its ability
to search out the pitfalls in the
path of the next generation.
The conscientious nurse and the
physician will find the early signs
of bone tuberculosis and will heIp
the parents to get the babies into
the sunshine and into the proper
medical environment
