tuberculosis - The Killer

AS the time approaches for the annual
Christmas seal sale drive it is important
to refresh our minds on the necessity OF
keeping up the fight against tuberculosis.
Here are some startling facts to remem-
Der about this great killer:
tuberculosis is killing IA Americans
a day-killing at the rate of one person
every 10 minutes
1t kills nearly $1,000 Americans year,
making it the seventh cause of death in
this country.
1t is the fourth cause of death among
Negroes.
1t kills more young men and women
from Is to IS than any other disease.
It kills as many people as all other in
fectious and parasitic diseases combined.
It kills seven times as many unskilled
workers as professional people, three times
as many skilled workers as professional
men and women.
It annually kills about 1000 children
under 10 years of age.
1t cost the lives of two persons for every
Lnree americans killed III cOLnpat III WOTlQ
War II.
But TB can be controlled. A IS per
cent cut in death rate in 40 years proves
this. The National tuberculosis Associ-
alton and it's affiliates are engaged in a
nationwide campaign to control it COM
pletely.
You can do your part Give your full
cooperation to the seal sale drive. North
Carolina is blessed by having one of its
outstanding citizens, D. Hidden Ramsey, of
Asheville, as chairman. Give him and the
drive your support.
