A
Washington, D. 0.?(Special.)?According
to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the epidemic
of Influenza in Spain has already
caused an increase in the prevalence
and deaths from pulmonary tu^

U^rVUiUOld* A OiUimu ooov/viauvu w
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
..recently made by Sir Arthur Newsholme,
the chief medical officer of the
v English public health service, in his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
i -\;iin England.
In order that the people of the* United
States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue of the United States Public
Health Service has just issued a
warning emphasizing the need of special
precautions at the present time.
"Experience seems to indicate," says
tike Surgeon General, "that persons
Whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack of influenza are peculiarly
susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of its people recently affected
i with influenza this country now offers
conditions favoring the spread of
. tuberculosis."
One Million Consumptives in the
United 8tates.
"Then you consider this a serious
menace?" was asked. "In my opinion
It is, though I hasten to add it is distinctly
one against which the people
can guard. So far as one can estimate
th^re are at present about one million
cases. of tuberculosis in the United
States. There is unfortunately no
complete census available to show'exactly
the number of tuberculosis per..
sons in each stfate despite the fact that
most of the states have made the disease
reportable. In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over 35,000 cases of tuberculosis
are registered with fee Department
of Health. Those familiar
with the situation believe that the addition
of unrecognized and unreported
cases would make the number nearer
60,000. The very careful health survey
conducted during the past two
years in Framingham, Mass., revealed
000 cases of tuberculosis in a popula

proportions hold true for the United
States as a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred persons
is tuberculous. Each of these
constitutes, a source of danger to be
guarded against"
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Surgeon
General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculosis.
"All who have recovered from influenza,"
says the Surgeon General,
"should have their lungs carefully examined
by a competent physician. In
fact, it is desirable to have several examinations
made a month apart Suah
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out in two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber>
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
' right living, good food and plenty of
fresh air."
Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General 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
not. get well promptly, if your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs of tuberculosis.
Place yourself at once under tho
care of a competent physician. Tuberculosis
is curable in the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuberculosis.
"Above all do not trust in the misleading
statements of unscrupulous
patent medicine fakers. There is no
specific medicine for the cure of tuberculosis.
The money spent on such
medicines is thrown away; it should
be spent Instead for good food and deCent
living."
