Every request Of this sort gives me q

someone has asked for an article. but because
such a request is founded on the experience Of
some unfortunate. This letter leads me to suS-
pect that the writer may have tuberculosis, or
fears she may have it.
Or it may be that this letter comes from an
anxious mother who fears one OF her Gear ones
is threatened with this disease. There may be
a case of tuberculosis in the neighborhood and
she wonders what effect it may have on her own
family.
