Screening Clinic
Held On Tuesdays
At Health Dept.
The Spalding County Health
Department holds its diabetes
screening clinic every Tuesday
at the Spalding County Health
Department. The tests are given
from 8:30 a.m. — noon and 1 p.
m.-4:30 p.m. All adults are ur
ged to take this free test.
Those planning to take t h e
test should eat a large meal
(plenty of sugars and starches)
two hours before taking the test.
Diabetes continues to be a ma
jor chronic disease problem in
Georgia. It is presently rated
as the 10th leading cause of dea
th and the third leading cause
of blindness in the state. In ad
dition to blindness and death,
uncontrolled diabetes can lead
to impaired blood circulation,
frequently causing gangrene and
loss of limbs. Other chronic dis
eases such as heart disease and
hypertension are affected by dia
betes.
Anyone can have diabetes,
however, there are four main
groups in which diabetes is most
likely to develop. These are: (1)
Blood relatives of other diabe
tics. The tendency to have dia
betes can be inherited. The pre
valence of diabetes in relatives
of diabetics is five times as gr
eat as other groups; (2) Persons
over 40. Only about five percent
of diabetics develop the disease
before they are 15 years old. In
persons over 40 the number is
at least five times as great. (3)
Overweight persons. More than
80 percent of diabetics are over
weight when they develop diabe
tes. (4) Mothers of large babies.
Mothers repeatedly delivering
babies that weigh nine pounds
or more at birth, may be diabe
tic.
The most common early signs
of diabetes are excessive thirst,
frequently urination, excessive
hunger, loss of weight, failing
eyesight, itching, pain in fingers
and toes, weakness, tiring eas
ily and drowsiness. Frequently
in the early stages of diabetes,
some or all of these signs may
not be manifested. Persons who
experience these warning signs
should seek medical attention
promptly.

—BACKACHE-
Joint Pains
You long to ease those pains,
even temporarily, until the cause
is cleared up. For palliative, or
temporary, pain relief try DeWitt’s
Pills. Famous for over 60 years
DeWitt’s Pillscontain an analgesic
to reduce pain and a very mild
diuretic to help eliminate retained
fluids thus flushing out irritating
pain causing bladder wastes.
DeWitt’s Pills often succeed
where others fail. If pain persists
always see your doctor. Insist on
