diagnosis and treatment of the dis
ease, which is readily durable in its
early stages. For this reason the free
Chest Clinics and general educational
propaganda for periodic physical ex-
animation, financed by Christmas
Seals, are of vital importance.
OF interest, too, in view of the
fact that the Christmas Seal program
has been extended to embrace a
well-rounded health promotion and
disease-prevention program, are sta
tistics on infant mortality for the
county given in the report.
Twenty-Five of the babies born in
the county In 1924 died before their
first birthday, the report shows, and
81 of those born during 1925 failed
to live until they reached the age Of
one year.
Buy Christmas Seals generously
and help make 1927 a banner year
for health work in the county" is
the appeal of local Christmas Seal
workers.
