the matter OF preparedness?
Are YOU. for instance, prepared for
the war that takes place every day be-
tween infection and yourself? =
That wars are disartrous no one will
deny, but the number of persons that
preventable disease kill every year is
equally as dangerous il not more SO.
The large number of persons WHO
die each year from typhoid fever. tu-
berculosis, diphtheria. scarlet fever,
whooping cough. measles and many
other such diseases Is astounding.
Yet each of these diseases is pre-
ventable and Furthermore for some
of them a specific preventative and
remedy exists. In the face of present
days knowledge there is absolutel;
no reason for even one man. woman
or child dying from dyphthera ami
typhoid fever.
While the country proceeds with its
vital preparedness program. let every
man. woman and child prepare TO
ward off these infections that are as
certain to kill as bullets.
With the nation facing a fight that
may be for its very existence the least
YOU can do Is to enlist in the army of
good health.
