104 THE HEALTH BULLETIN "Nuxated Iron" starts like this: "I have often said I would never recommend medicine of any kind—" and on second thought he hasn't broken his pledge, either. "Nuxated Iron" contains only about a five-hundredth of a grain of nux vomica alkaloids to a tablet, and a twenty-fifth of a grain of iron—which is shown in an analysis by the American Medical Association. "Nuxated Iron" comes about as near to being a medicine and to having "valuable blood, nerve force, and tissue-building properties" (see the wrapper) as Mason comes to being a patriot and a statesman. The other day Mason had an article by Mayor Thompson of Chicago attacking the Government's war loan and its food-regulation plans printed as an "extension of remarks" in the Congressional Record. Only a few days later Mr. Hastings of Oklahoma was reported to have charged him with treason because of certain remarks on our military law and policies. (Later the word "treasonable" was expunged truni the Record.) Chicago is not fortunate in all its statesmen, but Chicago is a big city after all, and we think Miss Ohren-stein need not be much depressed just because " Herr Mason has earned a "Nuxated" Iron Cross.— Collier's Weekly. PATRIOTISM A^D TOUR HEALTH Why not add at least 3 or 4 per cent to your personal efficiency so as to be better able to meet all coming needs? The sanitary sharps agree that the average citizen loses between nine and twelve working days each ycnr because of preventable sickness. Now, if this war is to mean anything to the average man, it ought to mean shaking off only semisensible habits and living up to his best. No one is even suggesting a tax on water; why not drink it and have more money to buy war loan securities? Air is as free as ever—take your full share. Fewer of us will be in danger of overeating these next few years, and there will be work enough to make us all sleep when bedtime comes. Now is a good chance to get rid of any foolishness about clothes; shoes that curse the feet, collars that cut the wind, and any other nonsensical items in between. This is a 100 per cent war, and we can ill afford to carry the burden of preventable sickness. Taking care of yourself is more than sense now—it is a duty.—Collier's Weekly. There never has been a time when there were so many reasons why one should keep well and do all in his power to prevent disease as now. The first and the last reason, perhaps, is that sickness is expensive; it costs both time and money, to say nothing of the valuable human life that it wastes annually; and if this country is to win in this great war, it cannot afford to have any of its resources spent on anything so unnecessary as disease. On the other hand, it would be better to spend money to prevent disease. Disease is no respecter of persons. There is not one kind of consumption for the white people and another kind for the black. A town is like the sky at night: for as a flash of lightning in one quarter of the heavens lights up all the rest, so disease in the poorest section of the town reaches out its fingers and blights the remote home of the wealthy. As to pellagra, a safe conclusion of the whole matter is that the farm that has a good cow, a pea patch, and a hen coop will not have pellagra on it.
