Twelve Months

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Unit

nounced today that the National
Health Council, combination of the
thirteen grea0St health organizations

view to finding the condition OF his
health and what it will be few wears
hence. Il is called by health service
"a peep into the future.
Ii Is predicted that this examination
campaign will assist in frightening
the average OF human life twenty
years. in the next fifty years.
Most persons think of death, SAYS
the public health service. "as coming
from one of the great diseases-tv
phod fever, for instance. But it isn't
these that do the real damage. It's
the hidden things that weaken your
osgans without your knowing it till
the test comes and you find yourself
detenseless. 1t is, for instance, the
abcess at the root of tooth that
manufactures the pus that Injuries the
kidneys; the infected tonsils that dis
cargo pus that causes rheumatism;
the little lump beneath the skin that
some day changes into deadly can
GER; the work that strains ones weak
est spot till it gives way, when anoth-
or sort of work would do no harm.
All these things can be, and will
be investigated under the councils
plan by reputable physician-by each
persons family doctor, if he likes. The
council hopes that a at least 100000
persons, say 10000 day, will have
themselves examined during the next
twelve months. 1t is big job and to
make it easier the council suggests
that every one should be examined
on his own birthday-even those born
on february %, for 1924 is leap year"
