SUREST CURE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
The surest cure for that once
dreaded disease—tuberculosis is
prevention. Prevention will do
more to lower the number of
cases of infection than any other
one thing. The old saying: “an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" still holds good:
and it is with this in mind that
the Territorial Health Council is
calling upon the citizens of Al
aska to take steps to minimize
the chances of infection of tuber
culosis.
Knowledge is the greatest wea
pon which the Health Council
controls. It has in recent months
and years, called upon the news
papers of Alaska and other avail
able sources to carry the word of
Caution, Sanitation, and Cleanli
ness.
Last evening the showing of a
motion picture at the Dream
Theatre, sent the management by
the Territorial Health Council,
again brought home the fight that
is now being waged against this
disease. Informative, packed with
dynamite in its lesson, the pic
ture, a one-reel description of
Tuberculosis, its method of grow
J
th and infection, elicited loud ap
plause from the packed house.
Knowledge as transmitted to
the public from every angle on
this disease is going to be the
controlling factor in reducing the
spread and saving thousand of
lives. Through the Tuberculin
test, infection may be spotted. If
you wish to know the safety of
knowledge do not overlook this
means of testing—and above all,
cleanliness, sanitation and the
proper safeguards of health, are
duties which you owe yourself,
your family, and your friends.
In the campaign to stamp out
Tuberculosis it is your duty to
assist.
