Lessons on Tuberculosis and Consumption for the Household, Showing How to Prevent Tuberculosis, How to Recognize Its First Symptoms, How to Win Back Health (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Lessons on Tuberculosis and Consumption for the Household, Showing How to Prevent Tuberculosis, How to Recognize Its First Symptoms, How to Win Back Health
All who have given much thought to the study of tuberculosis have seen that many people have hardly a casual or speaking acquaintance with the subject. They have realized that lack of knowledge and misinformation have been responsible for numberless unnecessary and disastrous mistakes; that to-day the deaths from tuberculosis would be few indeed if all were acquainted with the main facts regarding the white plague. Only those who have themselves been "through the mill," or those who, for one reason or another, have been brought into intimate contact with a number of afflicted persons, can thoroughly appreciate how many there are who discover the truth so late that they are forced to spend years of effort and a fortune in the search for health - a search which, after all, in many cases, proves fruitless! And what countless thousands have been totally misdirected, to fall into pitfall after pitfall ere they finally won! Only those who have themselves made costly mistakes (and this means the majority of those afflicted with tuberculosis) can fully appreciate how easy it is to go astray - how hard it is to discover and keep on the road to victory.
Because I, too, have "played the game," because for years I have given the greater part of my time and attention to tuberculosis, I feel that I am able to put myself in the place of the "other fellow" who realizes that things are not quite right with him, but does not yet know just what is wrong - who must know soon, if he is to be given his due chance for recovery.
