By this time you probably have received an envelope with Christmas Seals. You may return them if you wish and nothing will be said. Do you remember how TB was dreaded and called the white plague only a few years ago and was thought incurable.
Fight TB Buy Christmas Seals
Tuberculosis now less feared due to early diagnosis and treatment. Christmas Seals fund the National Tuberculosis Association and 3,000 affiliated groups, educating on prevention and cure, funding x rays, rehabilitation, and nationwide awareness. Send a check or keep Seals on gifts to support the cause.
