In the lungs, thick gluey mucus clings to the inner walls reducing the oxy- gen supply. In the stomach, faulty digestive juices cannot extract the nutrition from the food consumed, • Ten years ago, most C/F children died before reaching school age. Today, with early diagnosis and expert treatment, many affected youngsters stand a good chance of living beyorid their teens. • Treatment includes: diet supplements; mist tents; "postural drainage" therapy; breathing exercises; and specific medications to combat infection. • For most families, C/F is a STAGGERING ECONOMIC DRAIN. The outlay for drugs and ' equipment may run to $2,000 a year, • The Canadian C/F Foundation has established 18 C/F Centres and Clinics across Canada for treat- ment, research and teaching.
