THE HEALTH BULLETi:^^ 57 What Tuberculosis Does. It kills more than one hundred and sixty thousand persons in the United States each year—one every three minutes. It kills one-seventh of all our people. It kills one-third of all who die between the ages of eighteen and forty-five. It kills more than four thousand people each year in North Carolina. It costs in dollars and cents over a half billion dollars a year in the loss of life and labor to the United States body, and especially in the bones and joints of children. A person suffering from consumption may and does expectorate millions of these germs every day. Predisposing Causes. What is known to physicians as predisposing causes of a disease are the conditions which make one more liable to contract certain diseases than if conditions were normal. In the case of tuberculosis there are certain diseases which may be put down as serious predisposing causes. Some of these DONT-G&T-RUM-Down • —over half enough to run the government. Professor Fisher of Yale says more than one billion dollars—more than the expenses of the United States government. What Tuberculosis Is. Tuberculosis is a disease process caused by the growth in the body of the tubercle bacillus or germ as stated above. This germ is a vegetable parasite about one ten-thousandth of an inch long. The germ growing in the body destroys tissues and produces poisons or toxins which cause the symptoms of the disease familiar to all consumptives in the pulmonary forms, which are commonest. But the disease may occur in any part of the •DusT-corrTAiris • Gtuns* diseases are measles, whooping cough, typhoid fever, pneumonia, pleurisy, colds, grippe, etc. Lack of proper food, alcoholism, any form of dissipation, or anything which causes a weakened physical condition. Bad living conditions, impure air, darkness, dirt and dust are playing a large part in spreading consumption, especially among the colored people, in North Carolina. Immediate Causes. Tuberculosis is acquired, not inherited. There can be no tuberculosis without the germ. However, a child born of tubercular parents, certainly is more liable to start life in a weakened physical condition than the children ot
