"TB will continue to be a menace to our health population until all cases are found and treated.'' He added that TB is being found more and more frequently in the age group over 45 and particular ly in the group.65 and over. "TB is the cause of great suffer ing to families in our county," Dr. Brown continued. "Seventeen new cases were found in 1954. one man died from tuberculosis ad at the present time we have 87 patients in TB hospitals who will have to remain there on the average of nine months." He described each case of TB as a suffering human being whose energy is sapped by a chronic de-1 bilitating disease; a person who for a time is forced to give up his chosen work. TB means broken homes, men unable to support their families, women who must relin quish the care of their children to others, and young people whose hopes for the future may be tem porarily blasted. "Such conditions." he said, "pro duce many social and economic problems for the family and com munity which enhance the over-all TB problem." The cooperation of every citizen is needed in the fight against TB, according to Dr. Brown. He point ed to the current Christmas Seal Sale as an opportunity to help. "The TB control work of the TB Association has always had the wholehearted support of the com munity. I know that our citizens will continue to buy Christmas Seals generously?for the protec tion of themselves and others." I . : ' ' ? t vafc) J , ? ?
