Very few children can progress satis factorily in' their studies of hancli da ftpsd. '-by- bad health. 'Moat of the causes of bad health in chil dren can be removed or remedied. These causes should be removed or remedied before your child en ters school so that he or she may make the most rapid progress pos sible. It is unfair to the child to place him in school with such physical defects as to make study a hard ship, and the attempt to progress a disappointing struggle. The time to c nsider this problem is now. Clothing, shoes, bocks and other things considered necessary for a child to enter school are us ually given the most careful thou ght by the parent. Why neglect tlie most important part of the preparati. nV We urge you to bring all chil dren from six months to six years of age to this clinic for diphtheria treatment, if they have not al ready been given the treatment. We are using the Alum Precipi tated Diphtheria Toxoid, and one dose is a complete treatment. Due to the lack of funds in our budget, we are unable to give this free; therefore, we are forced to charge the small amount of fifteen cents (15c) for each treatment given. R. S. McGEAOHY, M. D.
