The program caught on in the United States beginning in Delaware in 1907 and grew into a national effort that continues today although the current focus in on combating lung diseases generally rather than just tuberculosis. This vintage original poster was issued folded and shows light handling wear and a small abraded area on the tip of the lower left corner. The colors remain vibrant and coverall condition is very good.
