The writer can highly recommend a certzin cigarette which is more satisfying than all the rest, but a plug (not tobacco) for the fag is left to the advertising depart- ment.

Cunningham, | Jr., declares that medical frauds cost ihe | | public millions of dollars annually. This money is spent for worthless gadgets, fake | cures and nostrums which are often dan- gerous to the health as well. i There are state and Federal laws de- | signed to protect the public from medical | quackery. But the perpetrators of such | frauds often show a high degree of in-| genuity in getting around the law. In | many instances, worthless and injurious medicines will be on the market for a long | time before successful legal action to banish ; them can be taken. Als a result, the only | sure protection is public and | awareness of medical frauds. The unscrupulous manufacturers and | salesmen of fake nostrums work ihe | fact that sufferers from serious disease will | grasp at straws. For many years, iuber- culosis cures were sure-fire sellers. In one | case, a compound was advertised as a cer- tain cure for tuberculosis without surgery, segregation or diagnosis! Today, many fakers are specialiizng in worthless reme- | dies for diabetes, claiming that they can ef- fect permanent cures regardless of the age | or condition of the patient. “At best,” as Mr. Cunningham says, “these victims are defrauded of their money -But there are graver consequences. knowledge on Whenever passible,-it | | Roosevelt-Garner-Sholtz rally at} ;meéeting included Frank O.
