(L.. ?
Washington, D. 0.?(Special.)?According
to a report made to the United
iRtutes Public Health Service, tlio epljdemlc
of Influenza In Spntn has alffendy
caused an increase In the prevalence
and deaths from pulmonary tu(berculosts.
A similar association between
Influenza and tuberculosis was
Jreeently made by Sir Arthur Newe(holme,
the chief medical otlicer of the
(English public health service, In his
(analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
PD. England.
i In order that the people of the Unitfed
States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
(Rupert lllue of the United States Public
Health Service has Just issued a
Svarnlng emphasizing the need of special
precautions at the present time.
"'Experience seems to Indicate," says
the Surgeon General, "that persons
\rhose resistance has been weakened
fey an attack of Influenza are peculiarly
susceptible to tuberculosis. With
Cllllons of Its people recently affected
1th Influenza this country now offers
conditions favoring the spread of
(tuberculosis."
j One Million Consumptives In ths
I . United States.
I "Then you consider this a serious
hnenace?" was asked. "In my opinion
Kt Is, though I hasten to add It Is distinctly
one against which the people
wan guard, so fur as one can estimate
\hera are at present about one million
leases of tuberculosis In the United
18'ates. There Is unfortunately no
^complete census available to show extmetly
the number of tuberculosis persons
In each state despite the fact that
imost of the states huve made the dispense
reportable. In New York city,
g'rhere reporting has been In force for
iany years, over .Hfi.OOO cases of tujberculosls
are registered with the I?eijpartntent
of Health. Those familiar
aikh the situation believe that the addition
of unrecognized and unreported
teases would make the number nearer
tfSO.OOo. The very careful health survey
conducted during the past two
||r< "rs "n Fremiti "ham. Mass., revealed
'ioO cases of tuberculosis In a population
of approximately lo.OoO. If these
proportions hold true for the United
Jfctates as a whole they would Indicate
|fhat about one In every hundred perWons
Is tuberculous. Hach of these
Einstitutes a source of danger to be
larded against."
What to Do.
I In hi* statement to the public SurIgeon
(Jeneral Ulue points out how
those who hnvp had Influenza should
[protect themselves against tuberculosis.
"All who have recovered from Influenza."
savs the Surgeon CSeneral,
"should have their lungs carefully exIn
mined h.v a competent physician. In
fact. It Is desirable to have several examinations
made a month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
tjie clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuberculosis
every effort should be made to
Ifpep them so. Tills can be done by
right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air."
Danger 8lgna. i
> The Burgeon (leneral warned especially
against, certain danger signs, ^
such as "decline" and "colds which (
, hang on."
These, he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do
limit get well promptly, If your cold b
seems to hang on or your health and 1
strength decline, remember that these ^
are often the early signs of tuberculo- (

At the same time preaching

Washington, D. C.?With the subsidence
of the epidemic of Influenza the
attention of health oUlcers Is directed
to pneumonia, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory system
which regularly cause a lurge number
of deaths, especially during the winter
season. According to Hupert Blue,
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, these diseases
will he especially prevalent this winter
unless the people are particularly
careful to obey health Instructions.
"The present epidemic," said SurRcotiGeneral
Blue, "has taught by bitter
experience how readily a condition
beginning apparently as a slight cold
may go on to pneumonia and death.
Although the worst of the epidemic Is
over, there will continue to be a large
number of scattered cases, many of
them mild and unrecognized, which
will he danger spots to he guarded
against." The Surgeon General likened
the present situation to that after a
great fire, saying, "No Are chief who
understands his business stops playing
the hose on the charred debris as soon
as the flames and visible fire have dls
appeared. On the contrary, he contlnueR
the water for hourH and even
days, for he knows that there Is danger
of the flre rekindling from smoldering
embers."
"Then you fear another onthreak of
Influenza?" he was asked. "Not necessarily
another large epidemic," said
the Surgeon General, "hut unless the
people learn to realize the seriousness
of the danger they will he compelled to
pay a heavy death toll from pneumonia
and other respiratory diseases.
Common Colds Highly Catching.
"It Is encouraging to observe that
people are beginning to learn that nrdlnar.v
coughs and colds are highly
catching and are spread from person
to person by means of droplets of
germ laden mucus. Such droplets are
sprayed Into the air when careless or
Ignorant people cough or sneeze without
covering iheir mouth and nose. It
is also good to know that people have
learned something about the value of
fresh air. In summer, when people
are largely out of doors, the respiratory
diseases (coughs, colds, pneunjo
nla, etc.) are Infrequent; In the fall,
as people begin to remain Indoors, the
respiratory diseases Increase; tn the
winter, when people are prone to stay
In hadly ventilated, overheated cooms,
the respiratory diseases become very
prevalent
Suitable Clothing Important.
"Still another factor In the production
of colds, pneumonia and other respiratory
dtsenKes Is carelessness or lgDorance
of the people regarding suitable
clothing during the seusona when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
In warm rooms too heavily dressed or,
what 1?~even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed In order to he
comfortably warm. This Is a very lqJurlous
practice.
Could Save 100,000 Lives.
"1 believe we could easily save one
hundred thousand lives annually tn
the United States If sll the people
would adopt the system of fresh ulr
living followed, for example, In tuberculosis
aanatorla. There Is nothing
mysterious about it?no specific medicine,
no vaccine. The Important thing
Is right living, good food ami plenty of
fresh air.
Droplet Infection Explained In Picture#.
"The Bureau of Public Health,
Treasury Department, has Just Issued
S striking poster drawn by IJeriyinan,
the well-known Washington cartoonist.
The poster exemplifies the modern
method of health education. A few
years ago, under similar circumstances,
the health authorities would have Issued
an official dry hut scientifically
accurate bulletin teaching the role of
droplet Infection In the spread of respiratory
diseases. The only ones who
would have understood the bulletin
would have been those who already
knew all about the subject. The man
In the street, the plain cltlsen and the
many millions who toll for their living

near the old cross, where service had
once been held, or was then held. They
hurled the poor suicides there, because
they were unwilling to relinquish
hope for them. Afterward, for
the sake of greater publicity, the gibbet
and the gallows were set up at
the crossroads, and criminals were
burled beneath them after their execution.
The law decreed that suicides
should lie with these criminals, in order
to mark the detestation In which
the crime of self-murder was held.
And so what was once a signal of
Christian hope and charity, became a
legal indignity Imposed upon the dead
bodies to mark an Immensely serious
breach of the law of the country.
