DIAGRAM
OF BODY

Disease, pain and misery Turk IN
every breath we take. in every particle
Of food we eat, in the water we drink,
in the things we touch. Disease germs
are ever striving to reach the weak
parts of our body.
A slow acting liver invites digestive
disorders and its multitude OF minor
Ills and this great organ Of our body
seems ever to need prodding to remain
healthy. Sluggish kidneys may IN
day bring us to the verge Of death
through Brght's disease or Diabetes.
The heart may cease its beat without
q moments warning after years or
careless living from the strain placed
upon it. The lungs require watrhful
attention if we are not to contract
some serious disease from which mil
lions suffer. So it goes the constant
battle of health versus disease.
Afflicted people should not neglect
their disease. Tho earlier the disease
receives proper attention and medical
caro- tho better. Modern treatment
methods are saving thousands Of suf-
ferevs from all early grave.
