Prospector’s Bullets

This little boy was flat on his back
three years ago—he had tuberculosis of
the spine. Today his rugged body and
smiling face are a joy to see. Sunlight,
or heliotherapy, fresh air and rest, un
der medical supervision, have given
Tony back his heritage of health. Tuber
culosis of the bones and joints is a form
of disease more common among chil
dren than grownups. Thanks to science
and to the public's increasing realiza
tion that tuberculosis, when taken tn
time, is curable there are thousands
of other boys and girls being restored
to health in tuberculosis hospitals
throughout- the country. Christmas
Seals helped Tony and they are helping
these other boys and girls.
