Excerpt from Tuberculosis and the Community
For much of the information found in the chapter on Tuberculosis and Nursing, I am indebted to Miss Bernice W. Billings, than whom I know of no greater authority in this field of work. Many of the details she has given me are not to be found elsewhere in print and I am sure will prove of very real help to nurses and others.
