The Brazilian society of decades, from 1920 to 1930, is surrounded by many speeches that talk about the daily, as the speech about sick people. Thus, this research took into account the interdisciplinary between History and Linguistics to understand the tuberculosis in Guarapuava. The methodology applied on this study is based on the three-dimensional speech analyses, by Norman Fairclough (2001). Therefore, the goals of this study are to analyze people who had tuberculosis, based on the medical reports of São Vicente de Paulo Hospital, in order to understand how this disease is represented, and what are the practices of prevention of tuberculosis in Brazil, specifically in the city, during that period of time.
