That is. current budget is 390 of 1964 spending. To show the increase , the following calculation is made: SEPTEMBER 14 ELECTION PRIMARY FLUORIDATION DAY There are. numerous dangers in fluoridating public water supFluorides are not only plies. deleterious, even in the small doses permitted, but cause different reactions in different people. I have had patients who had backaches but seem to be unaware of the possibility of chronic fluorine poisoning. Claims that dosage is controllable must be challenged when it is realized that fluorine, unlike chlorine which boils out, gets more concentrated precipitated by the intake of fluorides in the drinking water. Many symptoms (such as undue anxiety over money matters, loss of memory, discontent, mottled teeth, fragility of bones) brought about by the fluorides are not ordinarily connected with fluorides unless one studies the scientific provings Homeopathy has made on the subject. To determine the effect of this poison on human life, very careful and painstaking provings have been made on people by eminent physicians, resulting in the compilation of some fifteen full pages of symptoms showing its effects on every part of the body with special emphasis on the mind. heart, veins, sex organs, and bones, for no part of the body escapes its These malignant influence. provings were made with repeated doses of an even smaller amount than is proposed to put in our drinking water. And remember, the form of the poison to be used in fluoridation is a salt of fluorine. Sodium Fluoride, readily soluble in water and much more deadly in when boiled. In Charlotte. North Carolina monthly analyses of fluorine concentration in the water supply showed variations from 14 to 35 below prescribed amount.

Yet men who are not practicing physicians assume the prerogative of prescribing the same amount on fluorine to every person in every community on a life-lobasis, despite individual tolerance or needs.

You and I could have had a part in these things, if we helped elect the wrong person or did not provide the right support for the right person, or if we failed to participate in the governing process here in the State. 1 BUDGETARY PROCEDURES ACT NECESSARY 191-19- i N - 4 W7T STA TISTICAL ABSTRACT OF UTAH) of what its opsystematically decreasing our free the Budgetary agency since Governor Gyde left is necessary.
