is YOUR HEALTH
PERFECT?

EJOW many people are sick in the
- United States at any one timer
It is impossible to say. We have not
yet a sufficiently correct system Of
registration tt know positively how
many births and deathR there are IN
this country every yeas. Nevada and
South Dakota are still without any
accurate system of human bookkeep-
Ing, while in many of the other states
the laws for registering births and
deaths 4 still too new to give my
reliable figures.
So any attempt to estimate the
amount of sickness is little better than
a guess.
The reports from the draft boards

physical aiIment2 It may not be q
serious disease. or 1t may be some
form that weakens the person without
endangering his life, like hookworm
or malaria, neither OF which often
causes death, but both Of which keep
the patient In a rundown condition,
unable to do any work or only q small
part Of what he might do. 1t may be
what people In the South quantity but
accurately call a misery just a gem
eral weakness and feeling OF discom-
fort. due to poor or insufficient food,
anemia, constipation or some chronic
Infection. Whatever 1t may be, 1t
hampers the person, prevents him
from doing his best In any activity
and, what Is still more important,
keeps him from getting the largest
