- A Resource About About Tuberculosis

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- With news articles telling of the resurgence of cases of tuberculosis in
- the United States, there have been a substantial number of requests from you
- to discuss the matter, and provide the needed information. And that we will
- do, but to those of you who need to understand the problem in some depth, we
- can offer you the opportunity to obtain a fine patient education booklet on
- the subject. Its called "About Tuberculosis (TB)" and is provided by the
- folks at the Will Rogers Institute. They feel that until an effective vaccine
- is developed to prevent the disease, the next best defense against TB is
- education and increased testing. And the booklet not only describes the
- disease, where it comes from and how it is transmitted, but also provides a
- description of the testing procedure and what the test results mean. Its 15
- pages are filled with useful and important information so I strongly advise
- that you obtain a copy for yourself. There is no charge and a self addressed
- envelope is NOT required. Just write The Will Rogers Institute, 785
- Mamaroneck Avenue, White Plains NY 10605 and tell them you want the TB booklet
- mentioned in this column.
