    Modern Health Crusader Pin?

    Found this last week at an old home site. Appears to be a pin for the Modern Health Crusader. But I have no idea what this is? Does anyone have info on this?

    The only thing I could find was one similar on eBay. Looks to be from the 30's and might have something to do with Tuberculosis. Not sure though. Any help would be great. Thanks

    Could be a pin worn by a nurse or someone who was caring for a t.b patient...This group the crusaders apparently were trying to get treatment and/or cure for this desease...Ill check more out on it later....

    I found one like it a few years ago. Think it is a pin they gave in return for a donation to fight tuberculosis. I do remember walking for the March of Dimes,collecting donations to find a cure for Polio. Dr. Jonas Salk (did I get that name right?) developed a vaccine to prevent Polio.I got my vaccination in the early 1960's. Thank you,Dr.Salk,and March of Dimes donors!
