Digestive Decline
May Mean An Early

Digestive action is likely to be
slower after 40, because Of q
slackening and weakening of the
gastric flow. Often this one thing

dispirited feeling. But, in many
cases, it is easy to check digss-
tive decline.
Fleischmann's Yeast quickens
digestion by inducing a stron ger,
fuller gastric flow, This stimu-
lating action is due to the mill
lions of tiny, live yeast plants in
fresh yeast.
In addition, Flsischmann's
Yeast gives you the tonic benefit
Of 4 health-bui:. ing vitamins-
the Nerve Vitar lin, the Cold

You'll soon learn to like the

3 cakes every day. Eat one cake
u hour before each meal-plain
or dissolved in little water. The
gastric juices will flow more free

dent Is Of far-reaching consequence
on one Of our most pressing problems.
The illegal activities OF organized
medicine in this instance are typical
Of what has occurred in other cities
throughout the country whenever CO.
operative health groups have been
formed. In discussing the economic
conditions Of medicine which makes
this suit OF great importance, 1t Is
therefore appropriate to consider
briefly some Of the broader aspects Of
the national health problem.
In spite of great technical prof.
cheney, the medical profession has not
been successful in furnishing adequate
medical care to all the American
people at cost that they can
afford to pay. Careful studies have
demonstrated that the individual
practitioner, even though he devotes
portion Of his time TO charitable
work, cannot supply all the medical
needs Of persons OF low or moderate
incomes.
Primarily this is not. OF course. the
fault Of the doctor. 1t is q result
Of the low incomes OF q large part
Of the community on the one hand.
and OF the increasing cost Of ade-
quate medical treatment on the other.
The development Of scientific appa-
ratus, increasing specialization, and
better standards Of care. desirable IS
they are, have all contributed to this
situation.
Many Get No Medical Care.
Recent studies by Government tech
nicians have brought out the fact that
the 40,000,000 persons in the United
States in families with annual incomes
Of less than $500 cannot pay for med
ical care and in many cases do not
receive it when they are in need Of it.
For instance, at least half the present
toll Of mothers deaths in childbear-
ing, and Of infants in the first month
OF life, are preventable with proper
prenatal care and medical services
in delivery.
Half the babies born annually In
this country are in families with less
than 1000 income year. 1t Is
therefore significant that infant NOR
tality Is five times higher in families
with less than $500 a year than it
is In families with $1,000 or more a
year. These facts are cited because
experience has demonstrated the def
mite possibility OF reducing infant
mortality and OF danger to mothers by
proper care. The enormous difference
in the records of low-income families
is prima facie evidence that the med
ical profession as 1t is now organized
Is not providing them with adequate
care.
Acute illness OF all kinds increases
~ one goes down the income scale. 1t
is ~ per cent more prevalent IN
families on relief than in those with
$4,000 or more annual income
Chronic illnesses are 81 per cent more
prevalent in relief families: non-relief
families Of less than $1,000 income
have twice the illness disability OF
families with more than $1,000.
10 Per- Cent Bear II Per Cent Of Cost
In any one year, 10 per cent Of the
families bear II per cent Of the costs
