Dr. A. .Erin Merkel, Jackson county1 health officer, stressed Wednesday in a talk to Medford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club. ; - i- Dr. Merkel stated that the TB death rate, reduced from 200 out of 100,000 persons at the turn of the century to below 20 out of 100,000 by 1950, can't now be used as a criterion. Just Don't Die People become infected now but just don't die, he pointed out. That increases the detection and prevention problem, accord ing to the health officer. He mentioned ; an increase in the number - of new ' cases in the county and brought out that drugs used are of a nature that arrest the disease, but - do not cure it. When the drugs are tak en away, the "bugs", start up again, the doctor reported. Dr. , Merkel listed routine check-ups by physicians, tuber culin skin tests and x-rays as means of discovering tubercu losis. He told of the x-ray equip ment installed , at - Community hospital by the Jackson County Public Health association and available to the public at nomi nal charge, on Wednesday after noons. J . - Better at Hospital . ' There is good reason to have the equipment at a hospital rath er than at some location down town which is possibly more ac cessible, the doctor explained, Tuberculosis rate among, hospi tal admissions has been found to be six times as high as among the public! in general, Dr.. Mer kel reported. John Dellenback conducted the luncheon meeting, his first as new president of the club. He succeeds Boyd ; Budge.
