rases of tuberculosis In the United b ates There Ta unfortunately no complete census available to show ex. ' ectly the number of tuberculosis per- ! eons In aech aUte despite the fact that ; moat of the states have made the die- ■ eeae reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been In force for i many years, over 85,000 cases of tu- 1 ' besculosls are registered' with the De- ■ P*rtitaent of Health. Those familiar ' with the sltnatlon believe that the ad- I d.tlon of unrecognized and unreported 1 •waea would make the number nearer fi 1,000. The very careful health sur- i 1 »ey conducted during the post two I , vara In Frmmlngbam. Mass., revealed • 3u0 rasas of tuberculosis In a popula- i thm of approximately 15,000.

I What ta Do. In his statement to the public Bar- 1 r~on General Blue points out how timet who hare had Influenza should protect themselves against tul>ercoh> ■i*. "All who have recovered from Influenza." says the Burgeon General, 'should have their lungs carefully ex- 1 a utlned by a competent physician. In 1 fact. It Is desirable to have several ex- 1 • ruinations made s mobth apart. Such 1 os ami nations cannot be made through • the clothing nor can they be carried ' out In two or three minutes. If the I lungs "are found to be free from tuber- i dtloale every effort should be made to k«ep them so. Thla can be done by j i right living, good food and plenty ol , fresh air." I Danger Signs Tha Rurgron General warned especially against certain danger signs audi aa "decline" and "colds which i bang on." These, he explained, were orten th» , t -ginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly. If your cold •-•ems to hang on or your lu-alth and •'rength decline, remember that these are oiften the early signs of inlu-rculo | sis.
