Scarlet Fever
Dangerous Disease
AUSTIN, TEX.—Scarlet fevei-
ls «>ne of the most disabling and
dangerous diseases usually assoc-
iated with childhood, although
actually it is confined to no age
limit, according to Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, Staie Health Officer. While
only six cases were reported in
th«r state during the week ending
September 24. it brought the
jear'.- total to 1*11 cases.

throat, vomiting, fever, and head-

Cox asserted. "If scarlet fever is
present, the treatment recom-
asended will do much to alleviate
discomfort and reduce the possi-
bility of serious complications."
Dr. Cox s-tated that children

t's part of every street scene—something
you see every day.
Car owners in three different price classes
—all happy about the same thing.
One of them drives a new Buiek Special,
which you see poking forth its new, bold-look
forefront at the left of our picture.
Another will tell you there's nothing like
the Si per's "happy medium" of size and
comfort, power and easy handling, style and
standing.
And if you're looking for prestige, where is
your money going to buy so much as in that
handsome 18-footer, the Roadmastf.r, with
its ISO-hp performance and really royal
bearing?
But all these good folks get together on this:
There's no ride quite so soft and cushiony
as the Buick ride, whatever the size and
series. There's no pow er quite so sutisfyingly
lively as Buiek's liigh-eompression, ///j;//.
pressure Fireball power.
Above all, there's no "buy" like a Buiek-
no ear that gives you such si rich dollar's
worth of smartness, handling, comfort and
liveliness for every dollar you pay.
So why not look the whole line over? Ymr
Buiek dealer has these grand tra\el-mates
in a baker's dozen of different body types
and sizes. Start your shopping in his show*
room and you II find tluit even on delivery
he has exactly what you want.
