QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

?. Ms a diabetic allowed
10 marry in Pennsylvania and IT,
so, would il be injurious TO his
offspring in any way?
Would a diabctic be able 20 do
hard work and is a male diabetIc
eligible for the United States
army?
Answer. Many diabetes have
married and brought up fami-
lies which have not been injured
by the fact that either the
father or the m o II er had
diabetes.
l Go not believe there is any
law in Pennsylvania which
would prevent a diabetic from
marrying.
