PENNY WORTH O'HEALTH

WHEN you buy your Christmas seals you
w know that you are helping to purchase
for the nation the most precious commodity
health.
The long war on tuberculosis has proved
that health can be bought.
In 1900 the death rate from tuberculosis in
the registration area was 20l9 for each 100000
popula ion. Last year it was sos. The down.
ward curve has been relentlessly steady This
one-time white plague once stood at the top of
the list of killers among the diseases. Today it
is sixth Because of this fight the lives of more
than 10000 Americans are being saved every
year.
On this years seal is the picture of the
first cottage in the pioneering sanatorium of
DR.. Edward Livingston Trudeau in the
Adirondacks. DR.. Trudeau went there to die.
But he learned-today it is medical truism-
tlat tuberculosis need not be fatal.
1t can be cured and it can be prevented.
The annual Christmas seal sales have helped
to do both for hundreds of thousands of
Americans.
