Just as in previous county cam
paigns, local infections of the teeth,
gums and naso-pharynx played the
leading role in the percentages Of ply
steal defects. Among those having
septic foci of the mouth, nose and
throat were many cases of rheuma-

kidneys. Many of the minor affec-

sure was found in nearly one-half of
those examined Those subjects hav-
ing high blood pressure gave the
usual history of over eating, especial
| ~ of meats, overwork and worry, and
many had used some form Of alco
hol or tobacco or harmful drugs.
Among those having low blood pres
sure were found such errors of diet
and hygiene as an unbalanced ration
or lack of variety in die; lack of
daily exercise; lack Of sleep and fresh
air; irregular living habits.
i In this campaign noticeable de-
crease in the percentage of dietetic
errors has occurred. Present-day
economy in food, especially meats,
might easily account for the better
balanced and more sensible diet foun;!
in this group Of people.
Among the 314 people examined
were many with only slight physical
defects, but there were only five who
could be classed as physically normal.
