A Pun Prick and the “Magic Ey:”’ Detect Tuberculosis Before It Begins Dr. Clemens Pirquet, famous Viennese children’s specialist (left) and Dr. Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, German physicist, whose contributions to medical science have saved thousands of children from tuberculosis. devised the tuberculin test and Dr. Roentgen discovered the X-ray. By A. SCHAEFFER, JR. MONG the marvels of medical science there are few more amazing than the fact that a pin prick and a photograph can detect tuberculosis years before it begins. For this the world is indebted to two of the greatest figures in the history of medicine—Clemens Pirquet and Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen. The pin prick is caused by the tiny necdle of the hypodermic syringe as it injects a drop of tuberculin under the skin. The “magic eye” is, of course, the X-ray. Simple, brief and painless though these methods are, many a child owes his life to them, for they reveal the presence of tubercle bacilli in the body and give some indication of the extent to which the bacilli have established themselves in the lungs, there to lie in ambush until the body’s resistance is low and they may. launch a suc- cessful attack. such knowledge looms to its true significance when it is remembered that tuberculosis kills more persons between the ages of 15 and 45 than any 2 isease, and that only by dis r cases in the early stages and a ring for treatment can this unnecessary toll be lessened. Who were the men who devised weapons so powerful they can detect the presence of this widespread dis- ease years before it begins? The Children’s Doctor To Dr. Clemens Pirquet (1874- 1929), brilliant Viennese physician, must be attributed the vision that enables us today to examine large groups of children for tuberculosis by a method that is rapid, safe, eco- Girls Preierred By Tuberculosis “Nearly twice as many girls as boys are killed by tuberculosis be- tween the ages of 16 and 24 years. This is a situation which should not exist in the community or the state.” This statement was made by Ar- thur M. Dewees, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society, in referring to the campaign for the early diagnosis of tubercu- losis, which is being conducted by tuberculosis societies throughout Pennsylvania. “A consistently striking fact in mortality statistics, both in the United States and England, for a number of years has been the high tuberculosis death rate among young women as compared with men of the same ace or with other groups of the population,” continued Mr. Dewees. “This has been true without regard to women’s changing status, social upheavals or industrial progress. “Onset of the disease is so insidi- ous that it often is not recognized until too late. There should be wide- spread recognition of early symp- toms, such as a cough that hangs on, too easily tired, indigestion and loss of weight. “Greater care is necessary to pro- tect and lessen the tuberculosis toll among young women. Tuberculosis is not hereditary, but is a communi- cable disease. When a person is found to have tuberculosis the doc- tor’s natural question is ‘From whom did he get it?” ‘To whom has he given it? “Prompt and consistent treatment are important in protecting other persons and in reducing the death toll.” One Bad Apple An old proverb says, “One bad apple can spoil the barrel.” A case of tuberculosis may, like a bad apple, spread the disease from him who has it to those with whom he lives. The spread of this disease can be prevented by examining every per- son who has been in close contact with a case. This means not only medical examination of adults but also of children. - <7 nomical and efficient. Tuberculin was developed by Robert Koch, the discoverer of the tubercle bacillus, during his search for that germ, and was used by him as a routine labora- tory procedure. Pirquet, however, who was famous for his work and popularity among children, was the first to realize the possibilities of tuberculin for examining groups of children on a large scale. By apply- ing a small drop of tuberculin to the skin and then making a slight scratch he demonstrated the test known by his name. Koch’s method had been to place a drop of the substance in the eye of animals he wanted to test. Modern Technique The modern method of giving the tuberculin test is to place a drop of the liquid within the upper surface layer of skin, either by a tiny scratch or by an injection. If the germs of tuberculosis are in the body a small reddened area, like a little red lump, usually appears from twelve to twenty-four hours later at the spot where the tuberculin was injected. If no tubercle bacilli are in the body nothing happens. Should the test should not cause prove positive it worry because it means only that living tuberculosis germs are in the child’s body. The child’s body should be X-rayed, how- ever to make certain that no harm is being done in the lungs. The X-ray, which is the only means we have of determining this fact, was discovered by accident. Dr. Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen (1845-1923), of the University of Wurzberg, Germany, was the discov- erer of the X-ray, and for this and other notable contributions to physics When a case of tuberculosis is dis- covered the natural question of the doctor is, “From whom did he get it?” and then, “To whom did he give it?” For this reason the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society and its affiliated organizations this year in their Early Diagnosis Campaign are em- phasizing the slogan: “Examine and Protect Every Con- tact.” Christmas Seal Sale The work of the tuberculosis so- cieties in helping to prevent tuber- culosis is made possible by the sale of Christmas Seals and Health Bonds. The Seal sale in Pennsyl- vania is conducted by the Pennsyl- vania Tuberculosis Society and its affiliated organizations. The 1933 sale of Christmas Seals will begin December 1st. Happy With Reason from grave was saved danger of tuberculosis when it was This child found his parents had the disease. They were told how to guard him from infection. The doctor will ex- amine him at intervals to watch for suspicious signs. Every time a per- son with this disease is discovered a search should be started to find out “from whom did he get it, to whom has he given it,” and every child in the family should be given special protection. Dr. Pirquet he received the Nobel prize in 1901. Roentgen was studying the light thrown out by a strange new vacuum tube invented by Professor Crookes of London, which glowed with a peculiar phosphorescence when elec- tricity was passed between the two electrodes inside the tube. The Fortunate Accident One day he was called away from his work, but before leaving he re- moved his precious tube from its clamp and set it down, still glowing, on a book he had been reading that morning. [hat simple act gave to the world one of the epoch making discoverie: of modern science, for in the centex of that book, serving as a book mark, lay a large flat antique key, while underneatn the book lay a photo- graphic plate holder Roentgen had loaded for an afternoon outing. Later he gathered up this holder, among others, and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying his hobby of photography. When he developed the plates, the shadow of his booi- mark, the key, appeared on one of them. His scientific mind was puzzled. How did the image of the key get on the plate? The phenomenon set up a new train of thought in Roentgen’s mind which resulted in his belief in the existence of an unknown light ray which he called the X-ray, and he set to work to prove his theory. Finally, on December 28, 1895, he made a report of his experiments before the Wurzberg Physicomedical Society in a paper called “A New Form of Radiation.” He gave his discovery freely to the world and never attempted to make a penny from it for himself. “Like Trail in Snow” “The tuberculin test may reveal the source of tuberculosis in the home like tracks in the snow,” ac- cording to Dr. Samuel O. Pruitt, medical secretary of the Pennsyl- vania Tuberculosis Society. “Herein lies the great value of this test in young children, for if the source of infection is discovered and controlled by education or treatment few children found to be infected will develop real tuberculosis. “The tuberculin test is made by injecting a drop of liquid called ‘Tuberculin’ within the upper sur- face layer of the skin. This test is harmless. If the spot becomes red and swollen within two or three days the reaction is called ‘positive’ and indicates infection. It does not indi- cate the extent of damage and every positive reactor should be X-rayed. “Should the test prove negative it is of great significance, because the examining physician may conclude that whatever symptoms the patient has shown are not due to tubercu- losis. “It is in grown-ups after the school age that the X-ray is most valuable, and all persons of high school age should undergo such ex- aminations. “Special emphasis is laid on these facts during the Early Diagnosis Campaign being conducted in Penn- sylvania by the Pennsylvania Tuber- culosis Society and its affiliated or- ganizations. In this struggle the tuberculin test and the X-ray are our heavy artillery.” Senior students numbering 606 i medical schools in Pennsylvania have received a textbook on tuberculosis as part of the sixth annual Early Diagnosis Campaign. The book is entitled “Childhood Type of Tuber- culosis” and was supplied through the co-operation of the National Tuberculosis Association and the Pennsylvania Tuberculosis Society. The authors were four prominent tuberculosis specialists, Dr. Eugene L. Opie, of the Cornell University Medical College, and formc.ly of Philadelphia; Dr. Henry D. Chad- wick, tuberculosis controller, Detroit; Dr. F. Maurice McPhedran and Dr. Joseph D. Aronson, of the Phipps Institute, Philadelphia. T must be remembered that many schools in our state do not yet have school lunch programs, and the children must bring their own lunches to school. What should the box lunch contain to overcome the handicap it necessarily imposes upon proper nutrition? mend must necessarily be restricted, but with a little plan- ning a substantial lunch of nour- ishing foods may be provided.

As a substitute for fresh fruit, a small jar of some stewed fruit, applesauce, dates or figs should be included. The most nourishing breads for sandwiches are whole wheat, oat- meal, brown, raisin or nut. Bread should be at least a day old. Muf- fins and corn bread also are good. Milk, Eggs Advised To avoid monotony, sandwiches should be varied often. This can be done by using different kinds of filling and by varying the kinds of bread used. Appetizing fillings are egg, chopped meat, cheese, fresh cottage cheese, plain or combined with dried fruit, sliced tomatoes, chopped raisins or dates. Rolls hollowed out and filled with chopped meats or salads are ap- petizing. Cutting the bread into different shapes often tempts the appetite, and makes acceptable something that otherwise might not meet with favor. Pickles, olives, pimentos and condiments should not be served to children. Milk alone or in cocoa or eream soups should always be a part of the luncheon. Provision should be made for warming. For dessert, fruit, plain, ginger, date or oatmeal cookies, sponge cake, gingerbread, custard or sweet chocolate are good. The box itself should he one that is easy to clean and convenient to earry, The collapsible tin box that Packing the Lunch The lunch should be carefully packed so that it will be tempting and palatable when the box is opened. Preferably, each article of food should be separately wrapped in waxed paper, or the container may be lined with one sheet. All heavy articles should be packed at the bottom of the box. Here is a list of accessories which will aid in packing the school lunch attractively: 1. Paraffin paper 2. Paper napkins 3. Paper cups and paper con- tainers for holding cooked foods 4. Small knife, fork and spoon 5. Small screw top jar or bottle for milk, cocoa or pudding 6.

The King Bird or Bee Bird asit is sometimes called, is a member of the fly catchers family and arrived from its winter habitat during the last week in April. They usually migrate as single individuals and not in flocks as do most of the other birds. They were aptly named, when they were given the tech- nical name of Tyrannus, for if there is a bird which is a tyrant, it is the sub- ject of this present sketch. The King bird, white on the breast, grey on the back, the tail tipped with white, and with a bright red spot on the top of the head, will sit on the topmost limb of a tree, scanning the upper air for the sight of another bird with which to pick a fight. He does not confine himself to birds of his size or smaller ones, but usually picks for his victim, a larger bird often a crow or a small hawk. Generally, both male and fe- male Kingbirds will work together, by rapid flight, overtaking some unfortu- nate crow and by one flying on each side and making attacks at the same time, will finally compel the attacked to come to earth. Its nest is a loosely constructed af- fair, built in a pear or apple tree in an orchard, and generally fifteen or twen- ty feet from the ground. The eggs, four or five in number, have one peculiarity not possessed by many other species, They vary in size to such an extent that one would think they were not laid by the same bird. re A Arr His Mule “Say, Rastus,” exclaimed the visitor in town, “I hears you have the balki- est mule in the whole state.” Rastus scowled at his interrogator: “Pawdon me, sah, but Ah never dis- cusses mah wife's stubborness wif strangers.” ee tl eee: Stimulate your business hy» advertis- To All Who Suffer Stomach Agony, Gas and Indigestion Money Back If One Bottle of Dare’s Mentha Pepsin Doesn’t Do You More Good Than Anything You Ever Used. ‘Why bother with slow actors when one, tablespoonful of this splendid and pleasant liquid remedy will cause gas, bloating, heaviness, heartburn or any upset condition of the stomach to speedily vanish.
