FOOT ITCH
Athlete's Foot
According to the Govern ment Health Bulletin No. E28 at least 50% of the
adult popalation of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot.
Usually the disease starts between the toes. Little watery blisters form, and the sin cracks and peels. After a while, the. itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch of all the skin. •
BEWARE OF. IT SPREADING
Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also crucks and peels, and the itching becomes worse and, worse.
Get rid of this disease is quickly as possible, because it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or even to the under krni or crotch of the legs,
Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. "Ordinary germici·les, anti- septics, salvo or ointments seldom do any good.
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT
The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinea Trichophy ton. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 18 minutes of boding to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Foot it is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the skin where the germ breeds.
ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY-
As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint the infected parts" with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten day, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild cases less time.
"H. F. will leave the skin soft and smooth. You will marvel at the quick way it brings you relief; especially if you are one of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without access,

Malaria, Yesterday
And Today
From the earliest times malaria was the curse of humanity. Amongst the Jews in Ancient Palestine, this malady was certainly known, for we read in their books that Jehovah chastised men withi "fever" and it is most "likely that this referred to "marsh fever" or malaria.
The Greeks were scared of malaria, which did much more dam- age than the greatest generals. It is thought that the malady which decimated the Greeks during the siege of Truy was probably malaria, was taking born in the marshes of the district where the struggle place.

The Romans also suffered greatly from malaria, owing to the fact that their capital. Rome, was directly in contact with the notorious Pontine Marshes, latter 'being the place where malaria-carrying mosquitos mul- tiplied most casily. The Romans! were quite convinced that these marshes constituted a danger, för they carried out,vast drainage! works in order to dry up these re- gions.
