CHEST FUND AIDS
CRIPPLE CLINICS
DR.. Gregg Explains How
Money Will Be Spent
When 1t Is Received

D.. A. D. Gregg, Vance county
health officer, explained the purposes
to which funds will be put that are
derived from the Henderson Com
nlunity Chest. in the following state
-nant today. L was the first of sew
aral articles that will deal with oh.
jects o. the chest fund. The state
1.lent follows in full:
"7'ho cripple children's Clinic, one
of the beneficiaries of the Community
Chest, is not simply a charity enter
p:.se. Il is an investment in hui
nlanity. This work, accomplished
Jointly ty the money from the So
cal Sccurity Act, Division of Chill
iren's Bureau raised by the local COM
nnun;ties. is spent in rebuilding hui
man being. We take children and
adults who are MANNED bent or have
crooked and mishapen limbs, who can
not walk at all or is denied the pri-
vileg2 of walking upright as human
being are supposed to walk, any kind
of bone or limp deformity and give
them the advantage of the service of
an expert orthopedic surgeon. o.
course, many of these cases are alb
solutely beyond the science of medi-
cine to help. Many of them are help
ed to the extent of making useful
self supporting citizens from appar-
emily helpless cripples. The vast ma
jority are unable to help themselves
financially at all and but for these
clinics would remain helpless cripples
and q burden on the communities in
which they live.
The surgeons fee and hospital bills
are paid by the Cripple Children's Blu
ceau. The operating expense of tho
clinic, as laundry, janitor, bandages,
plaster cast and one-half cost of ar
ificial limbs, must be borne by local
funds. Of course, the small amount
asked for from the chest will not go
for artificial limbs or appliances o.
hat nature tut will be spent in actual
cost OF operating the clinics.
I'm supporting this cause, your
money is insuring the community a
Sainst future support of cripples. Our
clinic in Henderson, begun in May,
as examined 50 children, several OF
whom have been made to walk by
.erations or braces. The clinic will

A Three Days Cough
Is Your Danger Signal

No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your cough, chest cold, or
bronchial irritation, you can get relief
now with CreomulSion. Serious trouble
may be brewing and you cannot afford
to take chance with any remedy less
potent than Creomulsion, which goes
right to the seat of the trouble and aids
nature to soothe and heal the inhamed
mucous membranes and to loosen and
expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained
from the very first bottle. CreomulSion is
one word-not two, and it has no hyphen
in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and the
relief you want. (Adv).
