MEDICAL FRAUDS

Writing in Hygeia, R. M. Cunningham,
Jr., declares that medical frauds cost the
public millions of dollars annually. This
money is spent for worthless gadgets, fake
cures and nostrums which are often dan
gerous to the health as we'll.
There are state and Federal laws de-
signed to protect the public from medical
quackery. But the perpetrators of such
frauds often show high degree of in
genuity in getting around the law. In
many instances, worthless and injurious
medicines will be on the market for long
time before successful legal action to Danish
them can be taken. AIS a result, the only
sure protection is public knowledge and
awareness of medical frauds.
The INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers and
statesmen of fake nostrums work on the
fact that sufferers from serious disease will
grasp at straws. For many years, tuber-
culosis cures were sure-fire sellers In one
case, a compound was advertised as a GER
tain cure for tuberculosis without surgery
segregation or diagnosis! Today, many
takers are specializing in worthless RENE
dies for diabetes, claiming that they can eff
feet permanent cures regardless of the age
or condition of the patient.
"At BEST" as Mr.. Cunningham says,
'these victims are defrauded of their money
But there are graver consequences.
Their health is endangered by delaying the
scientific diagnosis and treatment which
hold their only real chance for. recovery.
Worse yet, in many instances they may have
taken treatments or indications which
were actually harmful" The American
people can put the frauds out of business by
refusing to patronize them--and by con-
sulting registered physicians when i'll.

YOUR sToREKEEpER AND THE WAR

This country owes a debt of gratitude
to the retail industry. For no industry has
shown a more aggressive and cooperative
spirit in dealing with the tremendous prob
lens imposed by our war economy. That
goes for chain stores, independent stores,
department stores and all other accepted
ferns of retail distribution.
Long before Federal price control was
adopted, retailing in general went to work
to hold prices down. Whenever possible,it
lowered its operating costs and passed the
savings on to the consumer In many i'll
stances, it voluntarily reduced its own
modest margins of profit in order to
control prices. 1t is a significant fact that,
over long period of time, wholesale prices
increased to far greater extent than retail
prices. In other words, had retailers IN
creased their MAKEUP on the basis of the
wholesale price index, the cost of living
would have been substantially higher than
it actually was.
AS shortages and priorities became
more severe, retailers took the lead in adj

suitable substitutes. They issued factual
information which showed the consumer
how to make many kinds of articles last
longer And in the food field, retailers are

tional Nutrition Campaign, which is de-
signed to guide the housewife in preparing
healthful, appetizing meals at minimum

Today, retailers are proving their
Utilities as statesmen of War Stamps. A

drive was started, in which all kinds and

to sell 81, 900, 600, 900 worth of War Stamps
and Bonds each month for the duration Re-
ports or the early weeks of the campaign
show that, as usual, Americas retailers are
doing the job with complete and spec
tacular success.
Your store, in short, is more than just

LOOK TOWARD AFRICA

Renewed air attacks upon the island
of Malta indicates that the Axis is making
strenuous efforts to reinforce Gen Rommel
in Africa, and the chances are that con-
siderable success attends the undertaking
Whether the move is designed to pre-
vent the British from assuming the often
sive, or to enable Gen. Rommel to launch
another attack, is unknown. There is rea-
son to believe, however, that something IS
about to pop in Africa.
