Although tuberculosis is one of the oldest known diseases, its cause was first conclusively proved when Robert Koch isolated the tubercle bacillus a little over fifty years ago. The success resulting from vigorous public health measures, particularly in the last quarter century, is impressive. At the beginning of the century, tuberculosis led the list of diseases as the most frequent cause of death. Today it has dropped to seventh place. There is no reason why it should not drop completely from the list of important causes of death. This splendid record has resulted from the combined efforts of many agencies. An enlightened public opinion with respect to the value of the physician’s services has contributed immeasurably. Have that long-delayed physical examination today. We are prescription specialists.
