MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
Taking Account of Your Health
Assets and Liabilities.


What are YOUR health assets and liza
bilities and how do your body accounts
balance? Did you ever ask yourself
that question? You would not think of
running your business without keeping
some accounts. Why run your body
without getting at least yearly bal
ance tc show if there are any losses Or
gains?
If you have an automobile bicycle,
plow or any other machine, you look it
over once in a while to see whether
there are any parts that are wearing
out or needing repair. If you have
fine horse, pig, cow or even hen, you
wouldn't think of neglecting it. You
give it regular inspections to see if it is
keeping up to the standard. Do you
have your body inspected at regular in
tervals to see if there are any leaks or
breaks in the human machine? Which
is worth more, your automobile, your
cow, or your body?
Careful Investigations have shown
that the physically perfect man is al
most impossible to find. Are you sure
you are physically perfect? If you are
not, you had better arrange for care
full medical examination. Little defects
or impairments, if neglected, may
cause untold suffering and loss. Dis
cover them in time by having your
body Inspected
If you have a regular family physi-
clan, arrange with him for a thorough
overhauling of your body. If you have
no family physician, or wish TO go to
different one, and there is local anti
tuberculosis society in your community,
it will give you names of some good
doctors, or you may write to The Wis
consin Anti tuberculosis Association,
All Van Buren street, Milwaukee,.
On December 6, a special effort will
be made by The National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tuber
culosis and it's affiliated organizations,
of which the Wisconsin Association is
one, to interest everyone possible in the
subject of at least one medical examin
alton a year. From December 6 to IA,
the physicians Of Mineral Point are
making examinations free.
Do not imagine that because you feel
perfectly well you need no examination.
1t will be worth the cost of examina-
ton for you to know positively just
where your health account stands. Out
of thousands who have been examined
and found to be impaired, only 10 per
cent imagined there was anything
wrong with them; the remaining 80
per cent supposed themselves "perfect
ly we'll" Now is the time for you to
attend to this taking stock Of your
physical assets.
The Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis
Association joins heartily with The
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis in believing
in periodic physical examination both
for the sick and the we'll; for the form
er to arrest and cure their disease, for
the latter that they may keep we'll.
Many little defects or impairments of
the body, such as bad teeth, clogged up
nose and throat passages, digestive
troubles. circulatory disturbances, ETC.,
sap the vitality of the body and lower
resistance so that a person readily be
comes a prey to the ever present aud
deadly tuberculosis germ. The time to
prevent tuberculosis is before it attacks
you.
