Free Chest Clinics
For Barnwell County
Will Be Held at WillUton, Blackville

and Barnwell, December 3rd,
4th and 5th.
How many estimated cases oVtuber-
culosis are there in Barnwell County
with its population of 23,300 pebple ?
The answer to this is 162 estimated
cases, with 18 deaths each year. How
ever careful these patients may be,
each case is a serious danger to others
who come into contact with these suf-
ferjers. This disease spreads from
person to person. The most cf these
estimated cases in Barnwell County art
not under any treatment whatever and
are living in close contact with mem
bers of their families and their neigh-
bobrs with no forms of precaution. In
this county some families, in which tu
berculosis attacked one member, were
completely wiped out by it. Now it
can be cured, provided it is taken in
time by those who are specialists in
its diagnosis and cure. Some people
are more than others constitutionally
and physically predisposed toward it.
On December 3, 4 and 5, free chest
clinics, under the auspices of the State
Anti-Tuberculosis Association, will be
held at three locations in the county,
for free examination of those who
have been in contact with known cases
of tuberculosis, or who are of pre-tu-
bercular tendencies. 'These clinics will
be condifcted by Dr. L. F. Hall, of the
State Park Sanitarium in Columbia,
who is the State specialist in this line.
The towns in which it is planned to
hold these clinics are Willison, Black-
ville and Barnwell. More complete in
formation will be given later. The
general plan is to take the white pa
tients from 9:00 a. m. till 12:30 p. m.

Based on information furnished by
local interestes and upon the condi

it is piobsble that the rivers are
badly obstructed for distances total
