THIS IS A
Peace- of- Mind
MACHINE
A modern X-ray unit such as this anc
can bring you priceless peace of mind.
It can bring you the comfort and
security of knowing that you are not
a victim of tuberculoids.
Or? if you are one of those who do
have TP without knowing it? a cheat
X-ray will detect it promptly.
Either way, you'll have the precious
peace of mind that comes from know
in i; the truth. Why not act now?
Remember? when TB is detected
in. its early stages, the cure is com
paratively easy. The longer it goes un
detected, the greater the damage?
and the longer and costlier the cure.
Know the truth. Protect yourself
and your family. Invest a few minutes
