Freedom from Disease Due to Care in
Selecting Marines

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 26.-That
little or no. tonsilitis has developed among
the thousands of United States marines
now in training at Southern camp, is
due, medical authorities say, to the eau
ton of examining physicians at recruiting
stations
An applicant with enlarged tonsils will
not be accepted in the marine corps, as has
been pointed out that tonsilitis is more
than mere ailment" and in military
camp will spread rapidly Medical research
workers have discovered that tonsilitis is
the base" of numerous diseases. among
which are inflammation of the joints and
heart, the latter often proving fatal.
