TB CAN BE CURED

Tuberculosis is called an insidious
disease because it steals upon its vic
tim unewares. Often it is we'll deyel-
oped before symptoms appear.
1t may attack any part of the body
but most frequently it affects the
lungs and it is called pulmonary tu-
berculosis When tuberlosis germs
reach the lung, the body fights back
and usually succeeds in imprisoning
the germs. If the prison wall breaks
down or if succeeding infection oc
ours. the germs multiply and spread
All this time the individual may no,
know of the battle going on within
kis body. Months may pass before the
disease reaches the point where def
mite outward symptoms are apparent
and the individual knows he is ILL.,
Yes, tuberculosis is an insidious
disease By the time the victim real
ICES he is ill, grave damage may have
been done to his lung. This damage
might have been discovered earlier
by an X-ray, but if this precaution
was neglected and the disease ha
reached an advanced stage, the pro
cess of recovery is slow.
Both patients and their families
are constantly asking doctors if there
| is not some quick cure for tubercu
losis, some medicine or drug that cal
be taken to kill the germs and speet
recovery Unfortunately, the answer
is NO
Despite years of research, despite
painstaking experiments, scientists
have not yet found a drug that will
kill tuberculosis germs after they en-
ter the human body or that will heal
areas OF the lung destroyed by the
disease. The search for such drus
is still on and undoubtedly will on,
day be crowned with success.
Meanwhile, the only cure for pul
monary tuberculosis is rest. Real
rest. That does not mean just taking
it easy" 1t means staying in bed q
hours day and resting while in bed
Any undue exertion on the part oi
the patient places strain on the dis
eased lung which delays the healing
process.
Complete rest can best be obtained
in a tuberculosis hospital. Here the
patient is under expert medical su-
pervision at all times. He is taugh,
how to relax and how to care for hin
self with a minimum of exertion. He
is also given the proper food and the
nursing care needed to build VI
strength and help him fight the dis
ease.
For the patients own welfare lie
should enter sanatorium for treat
of care for the protection of his fam
lily and associates. Necessary safe
guards are taken in hospital to pre-
vent the spread of disease, wherea
in the home it is very difficult to pro
tect others from the germs which the
patient may cough up or which may
cling to dishes or linen used by him
People often think they can rest al
home, but actually there are many
distractions in the home. Again ana
again the patient will find an excuse
to get up to speak to visitor or to
join the family at meal. The safest
thing for the patient and the family
is to undergo treatment in a tuber.
culosis hospital.

PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC
EARNINGS ESTABLISH NEW
RECORD

RECORD
Philadelphia, April 10-Operating
revenues of the Philadelphia Electric
Company for 1945 exceed 500 mil
lion dollars for the first time in the
Company's history, Horace P. Liver
sidge, president, told stockholders at
the annual meeting today.
Monthly sales of electricity reach
ed a high point of 601 million kilo-
watt-hours in January, 1945," he
said. "Sales then tapered off for the
next several months, registering de-
cline at the end of the war in August,
1916, as expected. Tke decline was
fairly sharp in some classes of busi-
ness. Present indications are that a
large part of the wartime gains will
be retained and that future normal
levels of sales will be considerably
above the pre-war levels"
Total industrial sales in the Phila-
horizontal trend about 20 per cent
below the peak month of January,
1915, but at level more than SO
per cent above the pre-war levels of
January, 1941.
Domestic use of electricity contin-
ues to rise. Actually, the average. an
nual use of electricity per residential
customer has increased 21 per cent
since 1910, the last pre-war year.
The Company's gas business, which
is about 10 per cent of the total, has
followed a pattern similar to that of
it's electric business since the end of
the war
Because of the highly-diverisfie
industrial, commercial and residen-
tial market in the Philadelphia area,
this section had less difficulty than
many other areas in moving from
peace to wartime production; and
likewise it has suffered less disloca-
ton in re-establishing tie peacetime
basis.
With the gradual resumption of
normal peacetime activities, it is ex-
pected there will be a growing mar
ket for the Company's services in all
classes of the business. These de-
mands will require an extensive pro-
gram of additions and bettemrents,
topped by the Company's new SO mil
lion dollar Southwark generating
station. now being constructed.
A colored moving picture was pre-
sented stockholders to show the con-
struction work to date on this new
project. In commenting on the pic
ture, Mr.. Liversidge declared, "Our
ambition has been to make South
wark the ultimate in up-to-the-min-
ute power plant design. Vixen the
station is completed and integrated
with the existing system we are con-
fident the combination will utilize the
investors dollar more efficiently than
ever before, since the beginning OF
this industry"
The Company considers it's custom
er relations good throughout the
area served. For many years, every
effort has been made to develop a spe
cially trained personnel, well organ
lied in handling the variou sservices
to customers. This has assured a
broad understanding of customer de-
sires al the many points of contact
between the Company and tie public
and has been most helpful in giving
general satisfaction to customer
needs
All directors were reelected.
The stockholders also approved an
amendment to the bylaws of the
Company providing for contributions
for public or charitable purposes, in
order to comply with provisions of
Pennsylvania Law.
