Protect Your Home
from tuberculosis

Christmas Seals are presenting
the Johns Hopkins University School
of Hygiene high speed x-ray ma
chine, it was announced at the Mary
land Tuberculosis Association.
The machine, which will be used
for mass surveys in Baltimore City,
will take a picture of the chest on a
film that is only 5 inches in size.
BY using small size film, the cost
of x-raying is reduced tremendously
while storage of plates which is al
ways a consideration Is also facili-
tated as the conventional size film
is eleven times larger than the one
taken by this machine.
"The death rate from tuberculosis
I'm Baltimore City is the highest of
the ten largest cities in the country,
said William B. Matthews, Managing
Director of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association, land by present
ing this rapid x-ray unit to the Hop
kims School of Hygiene, we feel
that we are making real contribu-
ton in trying to bring the disease
under control.
ITO control tuberculosis you have
to find the case, Mr.. Matthews
continued, land through mass x-ray-
ing many new case will be found.
What is most important the
x-ray finds tuberculosis in its earliest
stages before symptoms appear
which, of course, makes the cure
quicker and easier.
II know no finer place to set up
this high speed x-ray unit than under
the jurisdiction of the Johns Hop
kins School of Hygiene, Mr.. Mat
thews concluded.
The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation, a non-profitable organiza-
ton, has been in the front of the
fight against the white plague"
since its conception in 1904. Its
work, supported through the sale of
the tuberculosis Christmas Seal, is
statewide and includes clinics,
x-raying, tuberculin testing, medical
research, health education, Negro
program, and the Miracle House.
The present sale which is reaching
its climax is the 35th one in Mary
land. Commenting on this, Mr.
Philip s. Morgan, Vice-President of
the organization, said, I'VE are max
ing strides against the disease as
our program is good one. How
ever, it must be expanded if this
killer of Youth" is to be controll-
ed during our lifetime.
Maryland gives real challenge as
our death rate from tuberculosis is
the second highest among the States
of the Union. tuberculosis is COM
municable disease and only through
community effort can it be stamped
out. Buy Christmas Seals and stamp
out the white plague, Mr.. Morgan
concluded.
The Association also announced
that this coming Sunday, December
z, has been proclaimed as Christmas
Seal Sunday and all clergymen are
requested to mention the fight
against tuberculosis in the pulpit.
