months before either from
germs blowing in the air, or
drinking cup, or from another IN
fected person. .
Such used TO be our idea about
the development Of consumption
Nillemin. the French army doctor
who first declared that tubercu-
losis was infectious, said in 1865
that "The phthistcaf soldier. is to
his messmate what the glandered
horse is to its yokefellow."
Modern Conception
But our modern conception Is
different from that. As people
with tuberculosis have been stud.
led and their past history inquired
into, il has been found that IN
nearly all cases they were thin
and sickly for a while in childhood,
and that there is almost always a
definite history of a parent OF
someone in the household where
they grew up who was something
of an invalid, or had chronic
cough, or remained underweight.
We have been studying tubercu-
losis long enough now so that we
have followed many cases from
childhood to adult life and this has
given US a different idea Of the
natural history Of the disease.
tuberculosis is a lifelong dis
ease. Most people who develop an
active case acquire the disease IN
childhood around the age of five
wears. In the. vast majority OF
cases tuberculosis is acquired
from another human being. The
danger is not from dust or per-
sonal belongings, but close con-
tact. The people who have latent
tuberculosis and can spread it,
often are unaware of it and have
acquired such a resistance that
they can do regular work.
The disease in childhood is very
different from the disease in adult
life. In childhood it remains large
~ in the lymph nodes Of the body
and is not an open case. The child
does not spread germs to others.
Old Infection
Our modern conception states
then that tuberculosis, when it is
found in an adult. is not really re-
Gently acquired but is simply the
old childhood infection coming to
the surface and beginning to show
development.
On the basis Of this conception
the two detectives of tuberculosis
prevention are to examine large
groups of school children in order
to be able to put those who have
tuberculosis under proper hy-
gienic conditions Of fresh air and
proper food; and in the second
place to weed out of all the house,
holds all the adults who might pos
sibly carry tuberculosis to a child .
by contact.
Do adults acquire the disease!
The chances are very strong that
if you have no active tuberculosis
(you may have a healed spot) at
the age Of twenty, you will never
get it.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
F. R. M.:-"My baby has a
spina bifda which protrudes. Can
anything be done?"
Answer: Spina bifda is
failure of the arch Of the vertebra
to close. Sometimes the meninges
from the spinal canal protrude.
Surgery restores many Of these
cases successfully.
