On the Firing Line: A Travel-tour to Scenes of the Fight Against Tuberculosis (Association, 1939)

This film examines the incidence of tuberculosis in various sections of the United States along with efforts to bring about its eradication or control. Scenes include: the Washington, D.C. Census Bureau interior, with statistics on tuberculosis deaths; the New York headquarters of the National Tuberculosis Association; educational and promotional media; and the earliest sanitoria in the United States, including interior shots of beds, kitchen facilities, and other rooms. Pneumothorax treatment is shown, as is a community clinic that diagnoses people, a public health nurse visiting homes checking for tuberculosis, a doctor-and-nurse team working in a rural area with trailer and X-ray equipment, slum areas with heavy exposure to tuberculosis, and comparative mortality rates between African-Americans and whites, and professional and unskilled industrial workers.
