YOUR HEALTH By cd Dr.: R, s

In every village. town and city

Did you ever stop to think that
you have in your body a Main
street? The main artery OF your
being is the passageway from your
lips. through the mouth, throat. gull

what your health Is depends on
this thoroughfare. If your Main

you will have good health, and
