VITAL STATISTICS
AND TUBERCULOSIS
Massachusetts was one of th< first
states to enact a law requlri].v the
registration of births and death The
deatii statistics in the city of Fram
ingham. Massachusetts, in 1917, show
ed a death rate from tuberculosis of
121 In order to demonstrate the value
of a proper campaign of pre
vention and treatment the National
Tuberculosis Association, backi d by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, put on a seven years program
in Framingham, w hich resulted in the
reduction of the death rate from 121
to 3S per hundred thousand or a de
crease of 68.06%. This campaign
would have been impossible in a state
or city where there is no law' re
quiring the collection of these sta
tistics.
The National Tuberculosis Associ
ation was established in 1904. That
year the death statistics in a dozen
or more slates having a vital sutig
tios law showed a deatii rate from
tuberculosis of 200 per hundred thou
sand. Due to the specific tubercu
losis campaigns put on in every State
in the Union during the following
twenty years and the general health
programs in these States, though the
vital statistics area had more than
doubled, the death rate was shown
in 1924 to be 90.6. In other words, as
shown by the statistics, the tuber
culosis problem was more than half
solved.
Georgia was admitted Into the Vital
Statistics area in 1922. In 1924 the
State Tuberculosis Association pub
lished a map, based upon State and
National statistics, showing that
Georgia’s death rate from tuberculo
sis was the lowest of any State In
the South. To be exact it was 88.4
or a little less than the average foi
the nation.
if one will stop to think of the
value of these records to those en
gaged in the tuberculosis or health
campaigns, the impossibility of do
ing health work without this method
of checking, the encouragement to
the health forces when they see such
radical changes for the better, the
value also of the records in economic
and industrial matters and in the ad
ministration of justice where birth
and death records are necessary to
the settlement of estates, he cannot
be blamed for a sense of shame and
chagrin that the Georgia law is now
inoperative and he will be Inspired
to register his vote in the coining
election in favor of the constitutional
amendment which will put his State
back in the ranks of other progres
sive Southern States. Dr. W. S.
Rankin, former Secretary of the State
Hoard of Health of North Carolina,
declares that “Applied Vital Statis
tics is the most essential and pow
erful remedy for the improvement oi
health, for bringing about sanitary re
forms, for preventing disease, foi
postponing death and for adding years
to the duration of the average life
that we possess.”

Run-Down
gave out easily
"ATY health wasn’t any ac
count at all,” says Mrs.
H. L. Cayton, of Washington,
N. C. "I would start to do
my housework and I would
give out before I had done
anything at all. I did not
have any strength, and if I did
the least thing it seemed to
tax me so I could not finish.
I was run-down sure enough.
"Several of my friends had
taken Cardui and they said
to me, 'Why don’t you try it?’
I knew I needed something to
build up my general health
and to increase my strength.
"Finally one day when I
was recovering from a spell
of sickness, I decided to try
Cardui. I got a bottle and be
j gan to take it. I could notice
that I was improving as my
appetite got better and I did
not give out nearly so quick.
I took several bottles and I
felt lots better.
"Two years ago I decided
to take it again. It built me
up and made me feel like a
different person. It is the I
grandest medicine for women
that I know anything about.”
