Show FRESH AIR FOR GOOD HEALTH "Probably not more than one person per-son In every hundred, taking tho country as a whole, gets enough fresh air to ward off tho ordinary' attacks of dangerous Infectious and contagious diseases," says Dr. Livingston Liv-ingston Farrand, Executive Secretary of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, Tuberculo-sis, in a statement issued today from tho aBsbdation' headquarters In Now York. "People," continues Dr Farrand, "fail to get enough fresh air cither because their lungs, or other respiratory respira-tory organs arc affected, or, more generally, simply because they do not open the windows and doors. For the former class a physician is needed, but for the latter, plain directions on how to live, work, play and Bleep In tho open air will do more than hospital hos-pital and drugs. "To nieet the need ot this latter group, not especially those who are sick but those who are seemingly well, the National Association has prepared a handbook on "Fresh Air and How to Use It," This book Is designed to prevent tuberculosis by showing thoBo people who have no trace of the disease how to ward off the attack of consumption by living and sleeping In the open air. Fall-uro Fall-uro to get enough fresh air by -working and sleoplng In poorly ventilated, overcrowded rooms Is one of the moBt prolific causes of tuberculosis and alBO of a host of other Infectious dlHeasoB. This free gift of nature is probably the world's best medicine not only In the treatment, but 'also In the prevention of disease. "Our now handbook on this Btib- Ject, tells how anyone can obtain fresh air In tho homo, iho shop, or tho schoolroom at a cost ranging anywhere from ?1.00 to .$1,000 or more, according to tho elaborateness of tho equipment desired " oo |
