or from which you do not recover in three weeks.
2. You feel tired for no apparent reason for one month.
3. You lose weight persistently.
4. You develop a cough which does not clear in six weeks.
5. You bring up blood in the mouth.
6. Your doctor tells you that you have pleurisy.

mean that you should seek advice from a doctor. If he cannot find any definite cause you should
arrange through him to consult a Lung Specialist privately, or your local Tuberculosis Officer.
