Tuberculosis StiH
Claims Many Lives
Leading Killer Among
Age Group From
1540 34
The tremendous cost of tuberculosis
in terms of lives, suffering:, and dol
lars is emphasised in the 1949-60 an
nual report of the National Tubercu
losis Association, released by D,r.
Janies E. Perkins, ,managing director.
Killing more than 40,000 persons a
year, tuberculosis is responsible for
more death® in this country than all
other infectious diseases combined and
leads all diseases, infectious or not, as
a cause of death in the age group
from 16 to 34.
While the tragic cost of tubercu
losis in broken lives and broken homes
cannot be calculated, the report states
that the monetary cost of tuberculosis
is estimated at more thaq $350,000,-
000 a year. Included in this sum is
the cost of care of and services for the
quarter of a million people known to
have the disease and the search for an
equal number believed to ibe tubercu
losis victims but unknown to health]
departments. The sum does not in
clude hospital construction costs.
Since the median age at which tu
berculosis kills is 48, the report brings
out that the disease each year is rob- ■
bing the people of this country of 1,-
500,000 potential years of life, one ’
million of which are working years, i
(These estimates are based on a life ’
expectancy at birth of 65 and a work- '
ing age limit of 65 years.)
Yet tuberculosis, a communicable j
disease, is also a preventable disease,
the report states, and can be brought *
under complete control if the pres- 1
ent campaign of the medical profes
sion, the voluntray tuberculosis asso
ciations, and official health agencies
is stepped up and relentlessly pursued.
Cited among the outstanding re- .
quirements to fight tuberculosis Ore .4
program geared to the needs of the (
day; further medical advances in the ]
research and educational fields as well (
as in the diagnosis and treatment of .
the disease; more local health units ]
to serve the health needs of all the
people; a public better educated in the
prevention and control of tuberculosis;
more widespread efforts to find people
with tuberculosis while the disease is
still in an early stage; more hospital
beds for tuberculosis patients; more 1
nurses trained in the care of the tu
berculosis; improved services for tu
berculosis patients, and international
control of the disease.
(While the prediction may be made]
at some time in the future tubercu
losis may become a medical rarity, the
report stresses that close vigilance
will always have to be maintained
against it. It has already been the
target, according to the report, of the
“most widely organized, longest sus
tained, most productive campaign ever
directed against the disease.” The
campaign was launched in 1904 with
the organization of the NTA, which
today has 2,987 affiliated associations
in the 48 states, the District of Co
lumbia, Alaska, the Canal Zone, Ha
waii, and Puerto Rico.
“The very communicability of the
disease, which makes the campaign
against it practical and progressive,” j
states the report, "is the factor that

! The 1948 Christmas Seal Sale
brought $20,226,794.15 for the support
of the work of the National Tubercu
losis Association and its affiliates, Dr.
Perkins reported. Os this sum, the
National received 5 per cent and 95
per cent was retained within the state
where it was contributed to support
state and local programs. Beginning
with the 1950 Christmas Seal Sale,
which opens November 20, the Nat
ional percentage, said Dr. Perkins, will i
be six cents of each dollar contri- ,
buted, with at least one-sixth of this
6 per cent devoted exclusively to re

The folder explains that D. H. L
A. is “a complete milk production, feed
cost, and breeding record on each, cow
in the herd kftd on the herd as a
whole.” A D. H. I. A. supervisor
spends one day each month in the
herd for each 30 cows, weighing each
cow’s milk and making a butterfat
test. He records all the data in a herd
book. This (book ,is a .permanent rec
ord for each cow and for the herd.
D. H. I. A. testing, it is pointed out,
is a guide to better feeding, efficient
breeding, and proper culling.
“You can’t pick the most profitable
cows just by looking at them,” the
folder explains. “A D. H. I. A. rec
ord is the only dependable way. Low
producers are unprofitable. They
should be culled from the herd as soon
as located.”
Records show that cows in D. H. I.
A. tests in North Carolina produce
130 pounds more butterfat than the
average cow.
(Farm prices have increased since
the war began in North Korea but
do you know what has happened to
other prices?
