If a person's general health is
good, his body may be invaded by
tuberculosis germs without his
getting active tuberculosis. If his
resistance breaks down, however,
he will become ill. ,
Bed rest in a hospital is pre
scribed for tuberculosis patients
because while a person lies in bed
his lungs are less in motion than
when he is moving about. The
natural forces which are working
to repair the damaged lungs can
go ahead unimpeded. In some
cases, surgical measure are taken
to collapse the lung, temporarily
or permanently, to help heal the
disease.
At the hospital, everything pos

The importance of early diag

Tuberculosis has a lortg. almost
symptemless onset and a person
may have the disease for weeks or
months without knowing it. un
less he has a chest examination
with X-ray. Aside from the dam
age that is done to his lungs in
this period, the tuberculous per

In his conclusion, he wrote: “'In j
spite of lower rates in recent
years than at the beginning of the
century, the fact remains that
male as well as female alcohol
ism lutes have been increasing of
late and there is no indication for
complacence."
When Samuel Pepys author
of the famous "Diary,’ was ap

English Navy office in 1660 he
was so ignorant of business that
he did not even Know the multi

In a recent issue the New York
Times summarizes a report pub
lished r. few days ago on present
trends in alcoholism by the Quar
terly Journal of Studies of Alco
hol. The study, which was writ
ten by Dr. E. M. Jcllinek, of Yale
University, puts the estimated
number of consumers of alcohol
in this country in 1945 at 58.250.
000 as compared with 42,900.000
in 1940. In the same period the
per capita consumption of alcohol
rose from 3.54 gallons of absolute
alcohol (the actual amount of al
cohol in distilled spirits, wine and
beer) to 3.70 gallons, an increase
of 4.5 percent.
Tlie report also indicated, it was
stated, that in 1936, the first year
when legitimate production of al
coholic beverages was sufficient
to meet the demand, the consump
tion figures were 1.30 gallons of
distilled beverages. .04 of wine
and 17.53 of beer, or a consump
tion of 1.40 gallons of alcohol. The
figures have risen steadily since
then and, Dr. Jcllinek said, in
1945, the average American drank
1.95 gallons of distilled spirits a
year, 1.13 gallons of wine, and
25.97 gallons of beer, or a total of
2.09 gallons of absolute alcohol.
Compared with consumption of
alcoholic beverages in 1850. these
figures represent an increase in
the per capita consumption of
1 beer of 862 percent and a decrease
in distilled spirits of 53 percent.
In 1935 the report shows, the

confidence and in many cases the

People used to think that a
change of climate was essential to
recovery from tuberculosis. This
is no longer believed necessary.
Doctors usually recommend that
the patient go to a hospital near
his home where his family and
friends can visit him. There are
now tuberculosis hospitals in
every state.

the disease the better. Armed
