Your Protection Against Tuberculosis
The Iowa society formed in 1905 met in Des Moines with Dr. Boice and the group. In 1996 the Iowa legislature authorized Oakdale sanatorium for tuberculous patients. The death rate that year was 195 per 190000. The association funds its work from Christmas Seal sales, and in forty years the Iowa death rate fell to one fourth of 1906 levels. Continued vigilance is urged to sustain and improve this progress.
