Tuberculosis Control the Army

ESMOND R. LONG M.D.1

1 Director, Henry Phipps Institute, University of Pennsylvania.

In conclusion it may be stated that the control measures as applied in the Army, with admitted imperfections due to rapidity of mobilization and military exigencies, have been effective in maintaining a population with a very low tuberculosis rate. There is every reason to believe that these measures will have a favorable effect on the whole trend of tuberculosis in this country, through the early discovery of cases, removal of sources of contagion, and the pattern of large scale observation set by the procedure followed.
