OF COUGH!
T-B or Not T-B?
That Is Congestion!
Consumption be done about it?
A chest x-ray is required of
all students who are regularly
enrolled at Central. Don't worry -
it hardly hurts at all. The state
mobile x-ray unit will be on campus from December 8 to 14, and
will be set up in the health center. The sooner we get the x-rays
taken, the sooner we will get
rid of the thing.
There is no charge for the
x-ray. They only charge if you
actually have tuberculosis. Faculty members and their wives
and students' wives can also get
theirs. No children under 14 will
be taken except in Case of emergency. They are too young and
would probably see through the
whole thing anyway.
