DOCTOR MCCOY ON THE
ATTITUDE HEALTH
BOARDS ARE TAKING.

The great number Of people in this
community and throughout the country,
many hundreds of thousands in all, who
are wasting away and dying with CON
sumption, have been made the subject OF
special meetings of the health boards of
the different cities and towns.
When these bodies of learned men say
that something must he done TO check the
increasing ravages Of the disease, it is
perfectly safe for the people to lend their
assistance to the efforts Of these health
boards. The only doctors who object TO
the teaching and warning OF the boards OF
health are those who think they have a
cure for consumption.
Doctor Mccoy has from time to time told
people that he has no cure for consumption
in its latter stages, and right now he is
willing and anxious TO assist these health
boards in preventing the development OF
this disease.

Don't go on the street with the tail or

Don't put up your hair SO that the end of
