Four persons suspected of having
tuberculosis were examined at the
monthly tuberculosis clinic held on
Wednesday, May 8, at the Health Of
flee by DR.. E. C. Peck. The records for
the month, however, included five other
cases. Of these nine patients, seven
were found to have conditions other
than tuberculosis causing their symp-
toms, and two were found to have
symptoms strongly suggesting the dis
ease, DR.. Peck stated. Five were exam
ined by x-ray at the Hopemont SAM
tarium by cooperative arrangements
between DR.. Peck and the Sanitarium
authorities.
The x-ray service at Hopemont can

of the health office, they must be done
on the afternoon of the second Wednes-
day in the month, following the clinic
held in the office on the morning of
that same day.

gany counties from tuberculosis is
lower than that of the whole State of
Maryland among white people, accord
ing to John Collinson, chief of the Blu
