CONTROL YOUR SNEEZE ' j - Tho telling photograph shown above, taken by Prof. M. W. Jennison, Department - of?Biology and Public Health, Massachusetts Institute of Tecnology, is being used extensively in many states as a means of getting across how respiratory Infections, including tuberculosis, are Bpread by expulsion of droplets of moisture in coughing or in an uncontrolled en,eeze. The photograph shows a violent, unstlfled sneeze. In such sneezes, the numbers of droplets expelled are in the thousands, varying with the Intensity of the expiratory effort. The number of droplets issuing from the nose in an unstlfled sneeze is insignificant compared with the number expelled from the mouth. Some droplets fall to the ground; others evajmrate, leaving their ba<5terla suspended in the ajr through which they may be scattered by air currents. Covering the mouth in coughing or sneezing is effective in preventing introduction of droplets into the air, which practice in homes, schools and elsewhere will help control the spread of colds, influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis. The Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association Is Indebted to Doctor Jennisop, who made the picture, using thh Edgerfcon technique of high-speed photograjphy, for his permission to use the cut, belonging to the I^brth Carolina State Board of Health.
