TB X-rays
Valuable
The importance of the free X
ray turvey to each Kodiak citi
aen was stressed today by Dr.
A. Holmes Johnson, city health
officer.
“Tuberculosis is very easily
airested,” Dr Johnson said, “if
it is not too far advanced when
discovered and if prompt treat
ment is given."
Early diagnosis of the disease
means the use of the X ray. In
its early stages, tuberculosis does
not produce any symptoms. A
person having active tubercul
osis in the early stages is usually
not conscious of being ill. Only
when the disease has progressed,
when the person is unreasonably
fatigued, does not feel like eat
ing, has a bad cough, perhaps
spits blood or has some other
symptom, does he become aware
of something amiss and consults
his pbysieian.
Ur. Johnson explained that
until the Territorial Department
of Health obtained rapid chest
X-raying equipment, cheat clin
lics confined their services to per
sons known to have tuberculosis,
and ihose with whom they assoc
iated. As a result, only one in 5
persons suffering from the disease
was discovered when their dis
ease was in an early stage.
Mass surveys of apparently
healthy persons have discovered
more than twice the number of
such cases, he said
The mass survey X-ray unit
in Kodiak will be set up at the
old draft board office, next to
the City hall, and the chest sur
vey will begin Monday, Nov.
24, continuing for a week
Rach X-ray will take only a
few minutes, no disrobing is nec
essary, and there is no charge.
Di Johnson gave 2gcodiea
sons why local residents should
take an active part in the sur
vey. First: it is good health in
surance to know for sure your
chest is healthy, and second: the
'discovery of the disease in its
early stages means complete re
! covery if correct treatment is
begun at once. Tuberculosis is
an economic problem as well as a
human problem for the cost of
treating ODe patient is appiox
imately $5000 per year.
“Mass surveys of 150,000 men
and women in industrial plants
in the states during war years
showed that about 2 in every
1000 individuals examined had
active tuberculosis,” Dr John*
son said
Without an X ray, you might
be one of those two, wltheut
