There are many ways in which
la. man can help in this medical cri

He can guard his own ph.si.
cal wellbeing by keeping regular
I hours and eating and sleeping prop

waiting for an appointment.
And

These are the t n-

help the doctor.
In addition, there is a vast intan-
1 ble aid that we can give aur
, cal men.
We can keep in mind
the fact that they are a part of the
system of private medicino that lias
doubled the span of life for the ordin
ary citizen in a comparatively few
1 years.
The doctors in the armed
forces, just as the ones staying at
home .spent years in training and
| more years interning because com-
petened and efficiency are the very
foundation stones of our medical sys
tem.
There is no taint of “ ism or

The worst
dis-service we could do them in their
absence would be to lend ear to
crackpot schemes to Inject political
control of any form whatsoever into
the medical profession.
As it stands
today, American medicine gives us
the best care in the world..
Let's
keep it that way.
