WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS
MEASURES IN BRITAIN RUGBY, Apl. 29. The Minister of Health, Mr Ernest Brown, announced that the Ministry of Health was making an intensified campaign against tuberculosis. He said that, while deaths from all forms of tuberculosis in 1942 had considerably decreased compared with the previous two years, there could be no assurance under war conditions that the death rate would not tend *to rise again. The Ministry therefore was introducing the newest method of chest examination by miniature X-ray filming, and was starting a scheme of special allowances enabling the people to obtain, free of financial anxiety, treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.
