Watch Suspicions Symptoms in
Springtime.
Sanatorium, A p r i 1—These
lovely, warm spring days, do
you tire so easily that it takes
all of the pleasure out of the re-
turniijg spring season? Are you
osing weight, not much, but
just a little under par? Bothered
with indigestion, so much so
that you don’t enjoy spring vege
tables? Did you have a cold last
winter, or early this spring, and
has the cough hung on? If you
lave any or all of these symp
toms you may have tuberculosis.
Don’t dismiss that tired feel
ing, that slight loss of weight,
the indigestion, the cough too
easily. Early tuberculosis often
begins with either one or ail of
these symptoms. Delay in tu
berculosis means advanced dis
ease and ultimate death. For
even with modern methods for
the ‘ cure” of the disease, ad
vanced tuberculosis is not cura.
tile. Earlv tuberculosis is one of
the most easily cured of all the
major diseases mankind is heir to.
If you’re easily tired, losing
weight, have indigestion, a
cough that bangs on, don’t hesi*
tate, go to a good physician at
once. When you have gone to
him insist upon a thorough phy
sical examination, including your
chest. If the doctor tells you
that you have tuberculosis obey
whatever instructions for the
cure of your disease that he gives
you. In that way you will cheat
the tuberculosis death rate of
one more victim, and save your
own life.
