Administration building of Southern Baptlet Sanatorium for of tuberculous patients, located 4500 feet above sea level. Do you know that tuberculin is more prevalent In the Bouth than In any other part of the country? That the death rate from tuberculo sis here it* 14.2 per cent greater than for the nation as a whole, and greater than in any civilized nation on the globe with the exception of China? That more than 150 people a d?y. or L7.7K2 a year, die in the South and the Southwest from this dreaded dls ease? That there are within the territory of the Southern uaptist Convention 276,000 persons actively infected with the great white plague and an equal number have inactive Infection? That the mohey loss to the South each year from tuberculoma Is $176. 000.000? Tfc <se startling fai ls were brought | tv> the attention of the Southern Uap tist Convention at Its session Id 1916 and it resolution was at once adopted to try and check the spread of the disease and provide relief as far hx possible for those already Infected with It.
