its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-

common TO the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
lions are declined do not ever suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
