THE HEAX,TH BULLETIN 209 even provided with a privy of any kind. This is a burning shame. It should not be.

Let's be decent. Let's clean up. Let's put in some form of sanitary pri\'y or have running water. "SARGOL, THE FLESH BUILDER'' Another highly advertised medicine has been questioned. This time it is "Sargol, the Flesh Builder." One WTites the Board: "Will you please give me information relative to the merits of a widely-advertised medicine for increasing weight, called 'Pargol'? Same is made by the Sargol Company of Binghamp-ton, N. Y." To which the Board replied: "With reference to your inquiry about 'Sargol, the Flesh Builder'(?), I will say that next to the widely advertised fakes and nostrums on the market for the cure of obesity, there are probably no bigger humbugs than the preparations like 'Sargol/ sold as 'flesh builders' or 'weight in-creasers.' "Some of the latter class of fakes are alleged to be local in their application. to build up the bust, for instance, but have no effect on the rest of the body; while others, of which 'Sargor is one, are sold as general 'flesh builders.' "Sargol, which, if we are to believe the advertisement, makes 'puny, peevish people plump and popular,' is sold by a Binghampton (N. Y.) Company owned by one Jones and a Mr. King, one of which at least is an advertising man. An analysis made by a British Medical Association shows the nostrum to consist of about 18 per cent sugar, about 11 per cent insoluble protein or coagulated albumin, various sodium and potassium hypophosphites, talc, kaolin, zinc, water, etc. "A dollar's worth of the nostrum can be made, it is estimated, for about two and one-half cents. If you don t mind a suggestion from us, it would be to the effect that you spend this latter amount in fresh air, exercise, sunshine and proper diet. It is our opinion that the latter will net you greater dividends in the end." Red Cross Christmas seals are going to play the biggest part in their history in the fight against tuberculosis this year. The national and state committees have long been busy planning the big 1915 campaign. Millions of seals have been shipped into all the states and territories preparatory to the campaign which started in earnest about Thanksgiving. Small towns, country districts, schools, and various organizations besides the cities and larger towns are enlisting as agents for the seals and are helping that much' in the fight against the Great White Plague. "The crowning glory of this twentieth century is to be found not in the great industrial progress and commercial development, not in the marvelous scientific discoveries, not in the incredible expansion and efficiency of its military organization, but in the improvement in the social condition of the masses, and in the higher standards of living, rendered possible to a large extent because the losses from sickness and death have been so enormously reduced by the extraordinary developments in preventive medicine, and sanitary science."
