nurse who assisted with the tests
gavu an explanation of how the
tuberculosis germ works in the
bod The germ enleis the body
when one breathes the air into
which girms have been breathed
by a person with nn active case
Germs ma also be contracted
through food which contains the
germs or through eating out of
improperly washed dishes in which
the germs lurk
A verj vital fact is that once
the germ Is in the bod) it remains
there This is because upon enter-
ing the bod it settles on tho
lungs where it is coated over with
calcium and is thus kept dormant
until this wall is broken and al-
lows the germ to escape and be

to get pkntj of rest and hive a

and other foods rich in calcium
Because there is a positive re-
action to the test is not a suro
sign that one has an active caso
of tuberculosis according to Dr.
Jack Crow college phjsician who
gave the tests but it docs mean
that you have bem close enough
to an active case of tuberculosis
to roceive some of tho germs Into
your sstem For those who havo
positive reactions X-ra pictures
are suggested and the college doc-
tor recommends Weighing at hia
offico ones each month
Symptoms of active cases are
loss of weight easily fatiguid
cough poor appetite slight fever
each afternoon and night sweats.
