HOW GOES THE BATTLE WITH
 TUBERCULOSIS

In June, 1921, that most interesting and read able of all "health' magazines. Journal of the Outdoor Life published the leading article Mr J. F.. Stocker's famous story entitled How Won the Battle with Tuberculosis in My Own Home" Mir Stocker's narrative of his ex- perience faithful and sensible that it immediately became classic of health litera- turc. It has been reprinted as pamphlet and distributed to many thousands of readers who are vitally interested in such battle, either their a friends. Not only the National Tuberculosis association. 370 Seventh avenue, New York N. Y, which publishes the Journal of the Outdoor Life, but various local public or semi-private health or tuberculosis organizations have actively circulated Mir Stocker's narrative, and no doubt it has helped many fortunate invalid to win his way back to health.
 We'll just 10 years later in the June, 1881, number of the Journal of the outdoor Life. published monthly at 370 Seventh avenue, New York, N Y., at $2 a year or 25 cents a copy (and worth the price, think just as inter- estng reading matter, whether you are particu- lary concerned about tuberculosis or not), an Of her happy warrior. Fannie Benson Rogers, tells her story, and it seems to that Mrs Rogers has made bulls eye. "If Had Only Known in tn" Beginning What Know Now" is the title of Mrs Rogers narrative. and urge everyone who is now fighting the battle or who contemp plates doing who has friend or relative who is fighting the battle to get Mrs Rogers story and read it over and over. If you do not subscribe to the magazine, you can at least buy the June 1881, number, or if you cant find it and do not care to send to the N. T. A.. for it, perhaps the story will be separately pub lished in reprint pamphlet form for 10 cents a copy.
 A lot of people who wrote to ask me where they could get MT StoCkers story when l recOm- mended it, made sad mistake in the ttle They put such title as this on it: How Cured Myself of Tuberculosis in My Own Home" get kinda peeved about that, for MT Stockcr carefully explains in his story how foolish 1t is for any tuberculosis patient to attempt to he his doctor. Then was further peeved by the red tape the various tuberculosis organiza- tions managed 10 throw around the distribution of this story in pamphlet form particularly by the habit some of them had of sending their Nosey Parkers social scrvicc' snoopers or somebody 10 the homes of some of our readers who. at my suggestion, sent the nickel or dime to their local tuberculosis society for the pamphlet. Because of this unpleasant activity of the tu- berculosis organizations l was finally constrained to cease recommending the pamphlet.
 Now 1 feel that in recommending Mrs Rogers story am doing good for all who follow the suggestion and read it. But at the same time l warn readers l cant guarantee the purchase of such pamphlet will not bring some prying investigator" around to see whether you are getting "adequate care' or something.
 There is the story. If you want it without any strings, sink two bits in the June number and nobody will know just which of the many interesting things in the mag you wish to see.
