THE FINE REPORT !
ON Tl BERCI LOSIS
Last week there was publish-1
ed in the press a I’cport of the
work done by the ]Moore Coun-'
ty Tuberculosis Committee. The!
news story was factual, the re-i
port statistical. The figures;
themselves gave the only indi-!
cation of anything out of the,
ordinary, but they were posi-,
lively dramatic in their impli-'
cation. They showed that thanks
to our State Health Department
and to our County Committee
the dread Tuberculosis is now
on its way to being eliminated
from Moore county. This is an
extraordinary situation and
those responsible for this work
deserve the congratulations and
the deepest thanks of the com
munity.
The report shows that at the
Clinic held by doctors of the
State Sanatorium this spring
206 persons were examined. Of
this number only two were
found to be tubercular. One of
these, only, was a new case, the
other being a relapsed patient.
These are not of course the only
tubercular patients in the coun
ty but the one is, as far as is
known, the only new patient, a
most encouraging sign.
The conduction of clinics for
the examination of suspected
cases is perhaps the least of the
Tuberculosis Committee’.s work.
They have on thtjir active list
22 patients. Most of these are
in the State Sanatorium, or
awaiting entrance. During ^;he
