I Like a

Atbrntiif# it Each*nqe Inc. 1941
Softly, stealthily-like a thief in the night-certain
diseases roh you of your greatest treasure-good
health. Recurring aches . . . loss of pep and ap
petite . . . weakness are the most common warn
ings, but to you they should be nothing more than
warnings. Do not attempt self-diagnosis because j
that is the foremost invitation to trouble. If a
thief were in your home, you would seek th'e help
of the police. Wh£n illness threatens, lose no time
in getting the experineed advice of your family
physician. He alone is qualified to diagnose and
prescribe for you.
