If you wish to take the test send to school by Tuesday, November No-vember 24, ten cents, and the number of members in your family. The ten cents covers the cost for the entire family. You will then be sent an envelope en-velope containing test material. Enclosed in the envelope, you will find a small strip of yellow yel-low paper-tape one for each member of the family to be tested. Dip the tape in a collected urine speciman. Remove and wait one minute. Yellow color indicates that the urine is sugar-free. If the tape changes from the yellow color to a shade of green or blue, within one minute, the test is positive for glucose sugar, and the patient pa-tient should be seen by his doctor doc-tor for a confirmatory test. This project is sponsored as a strictly non-profit public health service, in the interest of better health. Those who do not have children chil-dren in school, tests may be obtained at SOS, Haymond or City Drug. Assisting with the program are members of the JC Wives. |
