EMBLEM OF CRUSADERS IN
■ THE WORLD-WIDE FIGHT
AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS
The double-barred cross shown
herewith is the eml’em under which
is being waged the greatest battle in
history—that against the great white
plague. It has been for 12 years the
international symbol, “a world-wide
emblem in the world-wide fight
; against tuberculosis ” One thousand
! state and local a ^notations are af
filiated with the National Tuberculo
sis Associrlion in us campaign to
reduce the enermou death rale o!
50.000 annually in Hus country from
tuberculosis. It is estimated that)
2.5.000 noqnTe in our own state have
tuberculosis.
Strong local a° '•’^tions exist In
Pulaski, Jefferson S bastion and
Phillips counties for the control of
tuberculosis. Pulaski and Phillip*
counties are the first to inauruvat.e
work among the negroes, th■■■» last
named county having ■?ust secured a
negro nurse. The Pulaski County
Association reported' last month 23 4
cases of tuberculos^ being cared fo\*
, nt the beginning of the month, 29
new ca°es and 58 suspects under ob
servation. rlhe two nurses made 270
visits during the month to Infected
families. Four physicians handle the
weekly clinic, Dr. A. C. Shipp. Dr.
Oscar Gray, Dr. J. S. Rhinehart and
Dr. G. W. Iseli.
The extension of tuberculosis work
by the establishment of clinics, the
employment of visiting nurses and
educational secretaries is contemplat
ed with the funds raised by the sale
of the Red Cross Christmas S^als,
and by this means ihe Arkansas Pub
lic Health Association hopes to begin
a reduction of the 3.000 annual death
rate in this state.
Tuberculosis costs the United
States in economic waste alone about
$500,000 000 annually.
