ConqUering Disease
Among The Job|ess

among those comfortably supplied
with the necessities of life.
That during this period of de-
preston and economic disaster there
has not been more illness is due to
the efficiency of the Public Health
Services and to the work of the
general medical profession. Acute
illness has been prevented by super
vision of water, milk and food sup
plies, and by the efficiency with
which any epidemic which showed
any signs of getting started was
nipped in the bud.
So far as chronic disease is con-
cerned, the depression did not break
the continuity of the work of school
inspection, of diphtheria immuniza-
ton, of the testing Of school children
for tuberculosis.
Nor have the medical schools, hos
pitfalls and public dispensaries re-
Taxed in their labors. Here the cases
Of cancer, heart disease, kidney dis
ease, high blood pressure and dia-
betes - all the chronic diseases -
have been taken care of and pro-
vided with as good care as circum-
stances will allow.
So even this despised democracy
can afford to laugh at brand-new
Communistic Russia.
