The Health Bulletin- 188 culosis shows that 279 were discharged improved in health, while only four failed to improve under treatment. Of the number that improved 34 made complete recovery; 122 were discharged with apparently arrested tuberculosis, while active tuberculosis of 65 patients became quiescent. That all of this group of patients did not make complete recovery is due to the short time under treatment. The best results cannot be obtained by a stay of less than six months. At present 216 of these patients are living and working, and in most instances earning more than they were before taking treatment. Forty-six are living, but not working, while only twelve have died during the six-year period that this report covers. This mortality rate is lower than obtained in persons not tuberculous. Of the 537 patients admitted with moderately advanced tuberculosis 501 were discharged improved, while 36 failed to make improvement. Those that made improvement were classified on discharge as, arrested 13; apparently arrested 42; quiescent 271; improved 175. At the present time 227 of these patients are living and working, while 122 are living but not working. One hundred and seventy-nine have died. There were 337 far advanced cases treated. None of these could ever hope to be well again. The most that could be done was checking further spread of the disease. One hundred and eight were benefited by treatment, but 218 have died of tuberculosis. We have been unable to obtain report on 10. This report brings out clearly two important factors in the successful treatment of tuberculosis. First, the importance of early diagnosis if the best results are to be obtained, and second, the necessity of continuing treatment until discharge is advised by the physician in charge. So many patients in sanatoriums, that have an excellent opportunity to become entirely well, make the mistake of thinking they are as well as they feel and are thus apt to ignore the advice of the doctor and return home before the disease has become thoroughly arrested. It is very pleasing to the sanatorium doctor to see the rapid gain in weight made by the majority of patients, but it should be borne in mind that the general health improves a great deal faster than the lungs and great care should be taken to avoid over-exercise when you feel exuberant, as this is the time when the most good is obtained from treatment. THE TUBERCULOSIS CLINIC BROUGHT TO YOUR HOME In order to afford an opportunity for free examination for tuberculosis to those that are unable to make the trip to Sanatorium, where free examinations are given every morning between the hours of eight and eleven a. m., or to a specialist in a distant city, the State Board of Health, the American Red Home of Family in B........ County. Aid rendered by Public Health Nurse, Mother, Father and four children all ill with tuberculosis. Cross, and the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association are cooperating by holding diagnostic clinics for tuberculosis at any point in North Carolina where six or more wishing an examination can be gathered. We will be glad to make examinations for both white and colored, giving as many days as may be necessary to each race.
