HEALTH NOTES

The State tuberculosis Associat-
ion ment in Jackson May 9TH. Great
enthusiasm was manifest and q
number Of interesting discussions
heard. The mobile x-ray unit Is now
operating in Washington county do
ing mass chest x-ray. They are able
to do from 800 to 500 chests per
day. This mobile unit cost approx
imately $1,000 Anothsr one =, to
be delivered July LIST and q third
one some time this TAN. OF % soon
rs ppersonnel can be fuond and
arained to operate 1t. The plan calls
finally for five such units for the
state.
It il no longer a question of
money to prosecute the tuberculosis
Control Campaign. Doctor Boswell
in speaking Of the interest manifest
and the generosity expressed by the
Legislature, said that they gave him
$4,000 more than he originally
asked for--but here is the bottle
neck now. More than $50 vacant
beds in the Sanatorium now on &C
count of not having sufficient helr
to take care Of patients to occupy
those beds. Doctor Boswell said ne
needed 80 registered nurses and u
maids and he is appealing to every
one interested in the control OF
tuberculosis to help supply these
needs SO as to fill the Sanatorium
It's pathetic when you thing OF al
those begging for admission to the
Sanatorium and you know and they
know that their chance to live de-
bends on that, then for the lack OF
somebody who is willing to work
they are shut out.
It is to be hoped that Holmes
county will take this appeal to heart
and do all possible to help relieve
this bottleneck. Some might hesitate
to work in tubercular hospital for
fear of contracting tuberculosis. The
following statistics should relieve
any such fears: A survey of all the
nursing schools in general hospitals
in the United States show that
percent of the girls who take train
ing develop tuberculosis in the five
year period 9 like survey OF the
tuberculosis sanatoriums show that
less than / percent develop tubercu-
losis. In tubercular hospitals they
understand so well how to carry cut
SO thoroughly necessary precautions
that the danger Of contracting tuber-
culosis in them is almost Mill.
