DR. YODER SPEAKS ON
TUBERCULOSIS
(Continued From Page One)
the death of more human beings than
wars. It was formerly at the head
of the list of serious diseases, but
now liolds twelfth place due to the
modern improved methods of diagno
sis and treatment.
The speaker said that tuberculosis
is caused by Bacillus tuberculosis a
rod- shaped type of bacteria that
can attack any part of the human
body, the most common place being
the lungs. Children are particularly
susceptible, but most often have the
disease in such a mild form that it
may bo overlooked. Statistics have
proved that about 90% of the cases
of adult tuberculosis are in persons
who have had the disease in child
hood and have an old scar, healed
over, which begins to grow anew
with lowered resistance due to such
conditions as undernourishment, in
fluenza and neglected colds. This
characteristic of the disease gave
the impression for many years that
it was hereditary.
Tt was explained that complete
rest is the only treatment for tu
berculosis •— This is supplemented
by fresh air and a balanced diet of
high calorific value.
Dr. Yoder used X-Rjiy pictures to
illustrate the types, diagnosis, de
grees and methods of treatment of
tuberculosis. He discussed the types
by saying that 93% of patients re
cover from “incipient (beginning),
54% recover from “moderately ad
vanced” and 28% recover from “far
advanced.” By illuminated X-Ray
pictures of patients the different
tyjies of pneumothorax were illustra.
ted, namely by collapsing a lung with
the injection of air into the pleural
cavity, with the cutting of the -phre-
nifi nerve and with the removal of
sections of the ribs. Pneumothorax
is effective because it affords no aero-
ated space for the growth of the bac
teria, and can be used only when one
lung remains unaffected bj' the di.s-
ease.
Dr. Yoder concluded by saying that
the only method of further checking
the disease is that of improving hy
gienic conditions in homes.
Wo feel sorry for the guy who has
to eat the stuff that is concocted in
many of the recipes we have read.
