The Foundation's aim is to find out who and how many sufferers there are in Utah. We must know how many and where they live in order, to set up an adequate treatment program, and we want to know who they are so that we can send them v up to date information on treat ment and development in research re-search of these dread cripplers." We have the support of the governor, the Utah Medical Association As-sociation and the Utah Pharmaceutical Pharma-ceutical association, now all we need is the support of the public pub-lic to make this 'Census of Sufferers Suf-ferers from Arthritis and Rheumatism' Rheu-matism' a success," he said. Every pharamacist and drug store in the state, through the Utah Pharmaceutical Association, Associa-tion, has volunteered to help in the registration. Displays containing con-taining literature and registra-toia registra-toia cards will be set up in each store. The registration cards can be picked up, filled out at home and mailed to the Foundation. If you suffer from any form of arthritis or rheumatism, or if you know anyone who does, we encourage you to stop in at your local druggist's and pick up a t registration card. Only complete registration will enable every one to get full benefit from the work of the Foundation. i ' |
