A useful selection of leaflets on first aid, the danger

to public health of flies, how to avoid rheumatism and whooping cough, also sonic hints on dietetics, have been published by the Wesleyan and General Assurance Society and may be obtained from its office in Birmingham. It was Cervantes who said that " Diet cures more than the lancet." His wisdom is still valid ; the society we refer to is following an excellent American custom of giving its policy-holders advice which is of profit to all concerned.
