Youth Missionary Organiza
tions.

Breast Cancer Is I
Leading Cause
Of Death
Breast cancer is the leading
cause of death among women
40 to 44 years old, but far more
lives could be saved through
early detection. While most
breast lumps are benign (non
cancerous) it is vitally impor
tant that a woman see her
doctor if a lump is found. She
should never wait to see if the
lump grows before reporting it
to her physician.
More and more women are
having their breasts examin
ed, either by a doctor or
through self-examination, but
many women do not know how
to properly examine their own
breasts. Instructions on breast
self-examination can be ob
tained from your doctor or
local health department.
One of the most important
diagnostic tools for determin
ing the presence of cancer is
Jhjg#ia<Mhography, an x-ray

there has been much publicity
over the use of mammogra

Mr. Charles R.B.
QUESTION:
My hair is extremely
dry. I have used all
kinds of products to get
it to grow; but it still
breaks in spots. I am
wearing an afro.
ANSWER:
Most people who have
afro's and have the
same problems, now
have glycerin based
products that will not
only soften the hair, but
will also keep the hair
' and keep it from break
ing. There are a number
of specialized highly
skilled people turning
their attention to this
problem. Some ex
tremely good results
have come about. Your
trichologist and your
stylist have demanded
better products Some .
have developed their
own hair care products
working with manufac
turers as consultants.
