Appointments are already being made for the next tuberculosis clinic to be held in this county beginning May 17th.
Miss Margaret Ford, county tuberculosis nurse, this morning made public the dates for the clinic adding that persons desiring to be examined should make applications now for appointments.
The clinic will open in the Y.M.C.A. at Kannapolis on May 17th and continue there through the 20th. On the 21st and 22nd it will be conducted at the Cabarrus Hall in Kannapolis.
Concord will be headquarters for the clinic from May 24th to 27th, inclusive, the examinations to be made at the county health offices. On the 28th the clinic will be held in Mt. Pleasant and the following day it will be conducted in Concord again.
Dr. S.E. Lee, who has conducted several clinics in the county, will return for the one this month. He will be assisted by Miss Ford and Dr. S.E. Buchanan, county health officer.
Persons who feel that they are suffering with the malady are urged to be examined during the clinic. Pronounced cases are not so dangerous, health officials state, for these patients take care of themselves and persons in contact with them are careful. However, persons who have the disease in its early stages often are not certain about it and they fail to care for themselves or the persons about them.
The examinations are made free of cost.
