HEALTH NOTES

“Approximately 5,000 of the 00,-
000 deaths in Texas Inst year were
attribuatablu to cancer. Fully one-
third of these fatalities likely could
have been avoided had the early
though unsuspected symptoms been
recognized ns serious by the vic-
tims. The unfortunate indifference
to such symptoms is based on the
fact that because of a total lack of
pain, no significance is attached to
them by the average person. This
explains one of the reasons for can-
cer’s great power to kill,” stntes
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer.
In the beginning cancer is never
recognizable to the patient as can-
cer. The danger signals are (1) any
lump in the breast or any other part
of the body; (2) any persistent I

Do you dread thoso “trying years” (38 to
62)? Are you getting moody, cranky and
NERVOUS? Do you fear hot flashes, weak-
ening dizzy spells? Are you jealous of atten-
tions other women get? THEN LISTEN—
These symptoms often result from female
functional disorders. So start today and take
famous Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound. For over 60 years Pinkham’s Com-
pound has helped hundreds of thousands of
crateful women to go “smiling thru” difficult
dayB. Pinkham’s has helped calm unstrung
■erves and lessen annoying female func-
tional “irregularities.” One of the most cjfec-
five “woman's” tonics. Try it!
• In the business of drilling for Natural Gas there is a maxim which runs,
“You never know what’s down there until the hole is drilled.” Maybe it’s Gas,
maybe not. In spite of this chance, thousands of dollars must be spent before
drilling is ever begun.
• The exploration costs, lease rentals, and royally payments of these Compa-
nies and associated Company over the past ten years have amounted to mil-
lions of dollars. Most of this money is paid in leases and royalties to people
living in the Gulf South. Some of these people may he acquaintances of
yours . . . perhaps your neighbors and friends . . . perhaps yourself.
• This money finds its way into the channels of business in this area ... it
helps people to pay taxes, buy food and clothing, and support schools and
churches. It adds to the welfare and prosperity of the area in which you live.
