and
sometimes other parts of the body,
such as the
bones, joints and kidneys.
It can also
cause meningitis.

USA > Christmas seals
USA
CHRISTMAS SEALS,
first sold 104 years ago
in a
Delaware post office,
transformed the treatment
and control of tuberculosis,
one of the most feared killers
of the age.
Just as important,
they produced
a revolution in philanthropy.
At that time,
the 1 percent of the late Gilded Age,
men with names like Carnegie and Rockefeller,
were creating major new philanthropic institutions.
Christmas Seals, in a way,
was the response
from the other 99 percent:
by marketing something
as inexpensive as a stamp
and using the proceeds
to attack a major disease,
the founders of the Christmas Seals program
demonstrated the collective power
of
the American public.
