Certainly, when a case of tuberculosis has been de- i terrr.ined through this educational, cooperative method, there should i be immediately available the san- i atorium accommodation essential to be^t care of the patient and management of the case and as-^ durance to the family and the commfunity that every case of tu- J berculo-sis discovered will have 1 prompt and adequate in the interest al both the afforte, nnfient < and the contacts involved in ex- 1 posure to possible infection."
