PUBLIC ENEMY NO.l.
States, this disease topped the :
list of causes of death; in 1935,
it had fallen to seventh place «
In Alaska tuberculosis still re
mains the principal cause of death
primarily due to its prevalence
among the Indian Population,,
Tuberculosis is a communicable
disease transmitted from the sick
to the well, therefore no home is
safe from tuberculosis until all
homes are safe.
From a purely economic viewpoint
this is a worthwhile fight, for
statistics prove that it costs
more to allow a man to die from
tuberculosis than to keep him
well and alive. More than one
half of all deaths from tubercul
osis occur in the ages from fif
teen to forty-five, the most pro
ductive years of life. It is
estimated that the annual loss
from tuberculosis in the United
States is mere than three fourths
of a billion dollars, or six times
the estimated cost of the New
York World's Fair0
Christmas Seals finance nearly
2,000 affiliated tuberculosis
Associations which carry on the
fight by providing the means for
early diagnosis, isolation, prompt
and correct treatment.
