In doing " things' "that’"are worth

In fact, It is almost everything. One
person alone cannot transform a dirty
and unkempt neighborhood into a
clean and tidy one. But when the
neighbors all pitch in and help, the"
job is easy and soon completed.
Cancer is on the increase, we are
told; this,, notwithstanding many ad
vertised cancer cures. There is no
such" thing ^s a cancer cure; the only
scientific thing to do for cancer is to
have a Competent surgeon remove the
growth. Any lump should receive im
mediate attention; delay is death.
Tuberculosis in children is very
common, but is not easily detected;
the children do not complain. The
glands are quite often the point of
attack. The old term, “scrofula,” is
tuberculosis in the majoriy of cases.
The bacilli of tuberculosis travel along
the glandular system by the lymphatic
route to the lungs or elsewhere.
