Active cases are very dangerous and should be taken out of society in those where there is no health where the county and state health societies can do very much good." "There have been 500 deaths a year
resulting from tuberculosis in the past two years in the state of Kansas. The disease takes a jump in the rank of college students. From the ages of 19 to 24 the individual is most susceptible to this disease. Since 1352 there have been 14 cases discovered in the University out of 8,000 students examined. All of them were cured by the disease was discovered during its early stages. There are 95 chances out of 100 for a complete cure when tuberculosis is discovered in its early stages.
