Every time you stamp Christmas Seals on a letter or gift package you are helping to stamp out tuberculosis, the master saboteur of our war industries. Ever since 1907 the Christmas Seal sale which the public has been supporting has provided national and local tuberculosis associations with munitions of war against this disease enemy. Now, more than ever, with tuberculosis deaths already mounting in Europe as a result of the war, your help is needed in the fight to prevent and control tuberculosis in America.
