the festive Christmas season is not far distant These colorful little Seals this year picturing a round jolly- faced Santa mean protection from tuberculosis to every home receiving them Since last Christmas money raised through the sale of these Seals has enabled the National Sanitarium Association to give 225001 free chest xrays which have been the means of finding 501 cases of active tuberculosis- and people with tubercu losis abnormalities In Newmarket and district this Association conducted a free chest xray survey just this year Three persons were found to have tuberculosis requiring im mediate sanatorium treatment and 23 were found with tubercu losis abnormalities though not serious at the time of xray The latter group have been asked to report regularly for further xrays Xraying continues to be the only certain way of finding tuberculosis in its early stages and when it is most easily cur able Medical authorities now claim that there are chances out of of returning to nor mal living when tuberculosis is found early It is true that remarkable pro gress has already been made in fighting this dread disease On tarios death rate is the lowest of any comparable population group in the world Yet last year tuberculosis took the lives of Canadians and doctors esti mate there are unknown cases spreading infection to oth ers Yet figures mean little when compared to the emotional up heaval in any family group when one of its members has been found to need care One of the more recently dis covered cases was that of a young truck driver in his early 30s He went along with his pals at noon one day to have a chest checkup then promptly forgot all about it No one was more surprised than he when his doctor called him in one day to say he must enter sanitorium at once And this story does not end there The young mans con tacts were immediately xrayed with most unhappy results He had been making his home with his brother and his brothers young family Xrays uncovered tuberculosis in the wife and also moderately advanced in their threeyearold daughter A yearold son escaped it It will never be known where it came from or who was first to have it Doctors claim there is reason able hope that with the best of care in and probably with the help of some of the new drugs like streptomycin and P AS this little family circle will be reunited before too long So when you buy Christ mas Seals you buy protection for yourself and your family pro- tection against those who may spread tuberculosis without themselves knowing that they have it
