PTIDE IN OUR PAST
The National Tuberculosis Assoc
iation an'3 it3 more than 1,600
affiliated associations throughout
t’.e country have' no other support
than 3ur lolls , which once a y< ar
we give--one bv one, two by two,
five by five-- to a sum that en
ables the vast organization'to ware
its campaign for our 1 wlt'a,
hap'- iness and 1 ives .
Now that we have with us a-ain the
Christmas Seals, through which the
health progress of next year will
be maie, we may well review with
pride the victories for which wo,
as ' . viduals, have been lan . ir
responsible . ’
Our money has helped to back the
organization attack that has cut
the death rate of tuberculosis
three-fourths since 1907, the first
year of the Seal Sale. Our money
has financed one of the frreatest
health education pro-rams ever
carried on in this country. And
what greater education can there
be than health education? Tuber
culosis must be defeated through
education of the people because, as
yet, science has found no\vaccine
for its -'revention, no drug for its
cure .
Education, pa id for by o • M.ristnus
jal dolls rs, is our grd? • tv
vaccine. Christ as Seal:, too,
hove played a part in the est b
lishment of clinics, in the develop
ment of nor methods of dii rnosis

be have, helped buy the knowledge

cured and that early tub: ulosis
can be discovered by the X-T.y. Our
money has disspelled the hopeless
ness once held tow rd the disease.
Such ere some of tho advances we
/e financed. The final victory
is yet to be won. Tuberculosis
is still-the chief dise-.ee killer
of youth, taking more lie . tween
the years of 15 and 45 th s any
