Book, Huber the Tuber, has stamp District 80, Bigelow, MN, 1942 copyright. We had a TB sanatorium in Worthington. HUBER THE TUBER is an imaginary tubercle bacillus whose adventures in Lungland are described and pictured in this book. Employing the use of numerous illustrations, the author has pictured as well as described a story of tuberculosis. Each of Huber's adventures—including meeting his wife in a joint (a bar and nightclub)—tell some important details about tuberculosis. In addition to a narrative describing Huber's escapades, his fight with the Home Guard Army and Corpuscle Nelson, his narrow escape from the Phagocyte Shark, there is a short scientific interpretation quite separate from the story. Huber the Tuber, Nasty von Sputum, and Rusty the Bloodyvitch are all finally rounded up by Corpuscle Lipsky and his mechanized Army. Huber's idyllic but ill-fated romance with Bovy only proves the well-known and indisputable fact that Love is Blind.
