IB on decline
by James L . Mack, M J l.
TB Is on the decline, there
in lies a danger.
Today some physicians see
so few cases of TB that they
may not recognize the symptom.
The results can be tragic.
In an outbreak of TB in a New
York fam ily— reported In a re
cent a rtic le In the New England
Journal of Medicine three mem
bers who actually had a c t iv e
disease were incorrectly diag
nosed by eight differentdoctors
and hospital clin ics. Theca ses
were wrongly diagnosed as in -
fluenza and v ira l in fe c tio n s
which often have symptoms like
T B . Not until one of the family
a teenage g irl, collapsed was
she ruslied to the hospital where
a corre ct diagnosis of advanced
TB was made. Her case was
complicated, the disease was

not susceptible to the usual
combination of drugs that treat
IB , and the g irl died two months
after the diagnosis.
When TB is not diagnosed,
tlie disease can be fatal.Deaths
from IB , however, have been
drastically reduced over the
last few decades. Last year
5,300 people died from
the
disease. 'Ten years ago, the fig
ure was double that number.
Last year there were also
39,000 new cases diagnosed as
active IB . Even with correct
diagnoses, many of these peo
ple do not receive the right
d*ugs in sufficient amounts for
long enough periods.
Excellent diagnostic, thera
peutic and preventive tools are
available to control and prevent
TB.

with this uique flavoring makes
it tender, .tasty, and tempting.
Just before call ing the folks
to the table, why not make
up
some pre-cooked rice and a
colorful frozen vegetable. You
may want to put together a salad
in the meantime.
Won’ t you agree, this is the

I he simple eloquence and
stunning truth of M rs. Dudley's
le tter prompted us tocall herln
Hawaii to ask her to enlarge up
on her statement. She put into
words and therefore into focus
the outrage we have been feel -
ing over the cruel use of the
I OWs fam ilies in an obvious
Pentagon Public Relations ploy
to enlist public support fo r con
tinuation of this obscene war.
I he raid on the POW camp
was timed precisely to distract
the public from the fact that
the day before saw a renewal of
our massive bombing of North
Vietnam. And so at last it is
clear - "V ietnam ization".

policy of seeking a m ilita ry
victory despite our presence at
the peace table. Arxi the truth
glares and pains: There can only
be an "exchange of prison ers"
when a war ends!
M rs . Dudley was thoroughly
aware of the attempt to get her
to parade her anxieties before
the
sympathetic American
public - tu t as so many of our
courageous young men are doing
in an attempt to end the h o rro r,
she refused to serve.
While alongw ithM rs. Dudley
and all the other loved ones of
our young men imprisoned in
North V ietnam, we pray
for
their safety and well being- we
cannot fo r one moment forget
the
danger and deprivation
which
the rest of our 337,
900 sons in Vietnam face daily.
A prisoner of war is one who
is held against his w ill in a
strange land - one who lives
with death daily - one who is not
perm itted to speak out and p ro
test this waste of his young life .

On days when you're going to
he out of the house for a few
hours in the afternoon, it's
a
great idea to plan on having
a
main dish which needs little or
no attention. That can happen
when the meat requires long,
slow cooking, like beef stew, pot
roast, or short rib s .
What better way to assure
yourself of a tireless evening
with the family? You can sit

Newborn infants are excellent
models fo r studying the role
hands play in the spread o fd i-
sease, according to a C a lifo r
nia professor of pediatrics.
As the infants can be observed
in a controlled hospital situa
tion they provide an under
standing
of how infection
spreads from person to person
and from one part of the body
to another.
The pediatrician explains that
while the newborn infant is a
culture medium fo r bacteria,
he is principally a threat only
to him self, until a pair of hands
are introduced which spread
bacteria to persons near him.
