He may not realize his comparative good fortune and, Fl ·p many who had no help, will seize .eagerly at almost any straw of hope. These straws of hope for tuberculous persons make problems that in the end may mean failure to be cured or at best long drawn-out set-backs. Many Fakir· Operatin1 "Thc.>se are two straws that often lt>ad tuberculosis patients a merry chase from yon to hither. The first, the most serious, is the alluring fake t4berculosis cure. Of these there are many on the market. Glowing testimonials appear in advertisements for these.>. They may state that so and so hc.>nefited at once by the fumes from a marvelous little stove that wiii be rented for so much a month, --or that, 'after consuming the contents of one bottle my husband was able to go hack to work.' Although the testimonial writers may long since have been in their yraves, such enthusiastic endorsements lead to the purchase of a bottled liquid which has no more power to cure than tomato ketchup. "Electronic reactions" often beguile with their temporary stimulation. Secret recipes and offices for treatment where fake 'doctors' hold sway have brought millions of dollars to the pocketbooks of quacks and emptied the already too-slim purses of tuberculosis victims.

Tn the beginning of their sickness, had they remained at home, carried on a strict regimen of rest, proper diet, and much fresh .air they might have become well and helpful citizens. As it is many of these who would never have considered begging for help in the East have gone to the West and have become paupers. A ituation thereby has been created which is a most serious economic problem · ~~e~t~s~a~ll~h~e;lp~,~a~n~d~h;e~lp~gie~nie ~rio~u~s~l.iv~l'ij ' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~;~ LULIAS BROTHERS 635 MAIN STREET 1135 CENTRAL AVE.
