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.

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.

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?

restricted, but with a little plan-
ning a substantial lunch of nour-
ishing foods may be provided. Va-|er.

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.

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. Small light weight custard

A Bird Neighbor
The King Bird
This spirited member of the bird
tribe is not as well known as should
be expected from its agressive person-
ality. 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.
