"We are Interested especially in getting the disease in its early stages," declared Mr. Huggins. "But, above that, we desire to stress prevention rather than cure." the service of the visiting unit wasvr free, - voluntary- and confidential and every person x-rayed gets a report. "We are primarily interested in adults on this occasion for, through them, we can know the story of the children' , Dj. J. J.'
