BRONCHITIS,

A wonderful tale of cure
through fresh sea air and wonder
full climate here was told The
Citizen here by two residents
who have been in Key West little
more than a year.
Marcus Ellis who had suffered
terribly with bronchitis and sinus
trouble, reports wonderful inn
provement. MIR. Ellis said: Il
came here to die and today I'm
going about building a boat up
the Keys.
T. E. Schaub, who has been
asthmatic since birth, and came
here with one lung completely
useless, has been largely cured of
his asthma and regained use of
the other lung.
Ellis said he has travelled all
over the country to secure relief
from bronchitis and sinus touble.
He had gone to the famed coast
of Oregon, which was said to be
so favorable to sufferers of those
ailments, but finds that Key West
climate and iodine of the sea air
far surpasses any of those places.
California was even worse spot
to be in.
Mr.. Ellis was gassed in the last
war and U. S. doctors spent over
100000 on him trying to cure his
many ailments. They were un-
successful. Finally. DR.. Wagon
hak Of a Cleveland hospital re-
commended the Florida Keys to
him. Relief came within the first
week after he was here.

FIRST AID CLUB
ORGANIZED HERE
TO BENEFIT CITY
CITY OFFICIALS AND UTIL-
ITY CO. EMPLOYEES PASS
FIRST AID AND RED CROSS
TESTS

A group of men from the per-
sonnet of The Key West Electric
Company. Key West Gas Com
pany, Key West Police and Fire
Departments, u. S. Customs Pa
troll and other local units have
formed the Key West First Aid
Club.
Each one of the members has
qualified as a First Alder under
the expert teaching and guidance
of Mrs. Marguerite Smock, local
American Red Cross First Aid
instructor, and public health
nurse. These men each have cards
issued by the American Red
Cross.
The purpose of this club is to
be ready at all times in cases of
emergency to give proper atten-
ton to an injured person until
the arrival of a doctor. The value
of knowing the proper thing to
do cannot be over-emphasized, as
in many cases death or perman-
ent injury can be avoided by
proper care given to an injured
person before the arrival of a
doctor. In the home itself this
knowledge can be applied to save
many anxious moments. In the
event of drawings or electrocu-
tions qualified team is ready at
all times to administer proper
artificial respiration.
! 1t is hoped to carry out an ex-
tensive campaign in the educa-
ton of the general public in the
knowledge of First Aid work
1t would particularly be helpful
to contact organized groups where
this knowledge is needed, mem
bers state.
Glasses are held the second and
fourth Fridays monthly at the
American Legion Hall at 7:30 p.
m. Amy interested person is well
come. Membership does not re-
quire any qualification beyond
being ID years of age and having
an interest in First Aid work.
A class for women conducted
by Mrs. Smock, will be started
Tuesday at the Episcopal Parish
Hall from 3 to 5 p. m. weekly.
If this club can be of service to
anyone they are requested to get
in immediate touch with any of
the following:
