Tuberculosis Eradication Highlighted At Iowa Institute
Mrs. C. L. Gord of Davenport told a Y M C A luncheon crowd that eradicating TB remains a major public health challenge after Iowa logged 349 TB deaths last year. She outlined plans for regular three year mobile X ray exams for schoolchildren and a drive to promote routine hospital X rays, plus new controls for mental and epileptic facilities.
