ASH SAVE-A-LIFE TIP
Telltale Signs of Potentially Serious Health Problems
Learn What Brittle Nails, Losing Hair on Your Toes, Small Yellow Bumps on the Eyelid, and Other Signs Can Tell You

While many signs of potential health problems are well known -- for example, sudden chest pain, a fever, etc. -- many other equally important signs are more subtle and frequently go unrecognized by most people, even those who pride themselves on their medical knowledge, and who try to take good care of their own health.

For example, would you or your family know what potentially serious health problems each of the following might indicate?:
■ dry brittle hair or nails
■ tingling feet
■ losing hair on your toes
■ bleeding gums
■ small yellow bumps on the eyelid
■ eyebrows that no longer extend over the corners of the eyes
■ a diagonal crease in the earlobe
■ darkened skin patches on the neck and underarms
■ a horizontal line through the middle of the fingernails

If you don't, it could be very important for you to find out, because many of them indicate potentially serious but undetected medical conditions, and all may indicate some kind of medical problem.

Since members of Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) tend to be interested in all important health issues, and not just those related to smoking or secondhand tobacco smoke, ASH provides this special Save-a-Life tip for its members.  It will tell you -- FREE -- the medical condition or problem each of the signs above might indicate.  It will also provide you with a source of additional information should you wish it.

ASH, founded in 1968, is the national legal-action antismoking and nonsmokers' rights organization which helped ban cigarette commercials, started the modern nonsmokers' rights movement, pioneered using legal action against smoking, developed novel legal theories to protect children from tobacco smoke at home and in cars, get lower health insurance rates for nonsmokers, fought tobacco subsidies, and much much more.
