THE HEALTH BULLETIN 193 S SANATORIUM Sanatorium was built, deserves much credit for erecting the first county-sanatorium in the State. SANATORIA NOT DANGEROUS Fortunate is that city or community in which there is located a tuberculosis sanatorium. Tuberculosis sanatoria are not a menace to health but on the contrary they are a decided asset. Instead of lowering real estate values, as is sometimes expected, statistics indicate that they always increase such values. Furthermore, statistics indicate that in villages, cities and communities in close proximity to tuberculosis sanatoria the mortality from tuberculosis has steadily decreased. The reason is not hard to find. The teaching of right living and proper hygiene and sanitation cannot be confined to the sanatorium. In fact the rules of right living, hygiene and sanitation, invaiiably creep out and, like gossip and bad news, they spread throughout the neighborhood for miles around. As a matter of fact, one of the places best protected against tuberculosis infection is a well regulated, clean, tuberculosis sanatorium. This fact was illustrated not long ago in our own State sanatorium when one of the physicians applied for life insurance. One of the routine questions which he was required to answer was whether or not he had lived or was living in close proximity to a case of tuberculosis. In answer to this question, he was obliged to answer that he was in daily contact with 150 or more cases of tuberculosis in connection vnth the discharge of his daily duties. Ordinarily, intimate contact with a single case of tuberculosis is sufficient to give rise to grave suspicions on the part of a life insurance company. This life insurance company made a thorough investigation of our State Sanatorium with the results that the life insurance applied for by the physician was promptly granted, despite the fact that he was daily in contact with a great many cases of tuberculosis. Perhaps part of the reason for the general fear of the public in regard to tuberculosis is due to ignorance rather than full knowledge of the facts in the case. One of the fundamental things to learn in regard to tuberculosis is that a careful consumptive is not dangerous to live with, while a careless consumptive or an unrecognized case of tuberculosis is an exceedingly grave source of danger to everyone who in any way comes in contact with him.
