PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSING SERVICE
Public Health Nursing is a nursing
service for the benefit of all the peo
ple In a county and in this respect dif
fers from ordinary nursing, which is
usually for the benefit of an individ
ual of family or a relatively small
number of people in a community.
Peblic Health nursing is the ground
work In the preparation of our chil
dren when fathers and mothers and
we older ones have to shift the respon
sibilities of life to our posterity. No
individual, no community, no nation
whose health and physical fitness is
impaired from negligence in childhood
or sickness in adult life can success
fully administer the duties or respon
sibilities of useful citizenship and ser
vice to humanity.
The types of nursing which are usu
ally engaged in by a Public Health
Nurse are, (1) Bedside Nursing,
PrenatHl Nursing; <3* Maternity Nurs
ing; (4) Infant Welfare; (5) Child
Welfare; (6) School Nursing; (7)
Tuberculosis.
There may la* other headings under
which this work could la? discussed.
I would like further to state that it
is my earnest desire to do everything
in ray power to serve, in an efficient
manner, as many people as possible
among all classes that might need my
servlet s. However/ my endurance is
limited, it is Impossible to render ser
vices under all the above headings sim
ultaneously in different localities, I am
very, sorry I cannot meet the require
ments of all expected of me by those
not familiar with this line of work.
I am working under the lted Cross
organization. 1 try to conform to the
regulations of this great servant to
humanity. There are certain limita
tion or restrictions in tills work, these
I must observe, but where it is possi
ble to make my work tit individual or
community needs it is my purpose to
do so and you will always find me wil
ling, to attempt at least, to adjust my
work to the urgent needs. I would
like very much to conform to the wish
es of everyone that might need my ser
vices in Barrow county, hut any rea
sonable man or woman that will give
the matter just; consideration must
know tilts is an impossibility. 1 want
your cooperation and good will, with
out this my work is impeded.
The people of Barrow county have
ht.cn very courteous and helpful to me,
without this mutual interest manifest
ed 1 would lie greatly handicapped. 1
want to serve you the best I may and if
some of you should feel that I am fail
ing to do m.v duty as you see it in some
matter in which you have personal in
terests come to mo or send for me and
let’s talk it over and make satisfacto
ry adjustment in order that 1 may
serve your needs.
I have no way of reaching all the
people of the county. My only means
.if transportation is through the kind
ness of the Ladies Motor Corps, indi
viduals who may he kind enough to
carry me to places and the physicians
of the county that carry me to see the
sick and Injured. Because of this, my
work is necessarily limited, so far as
reaching all sections and all the needs
of all the people. If I had some way
of reaching you 1 would gladly go into
every home in the county us early as
] could.
Now if any doubt exists regarding
mv work I wilt lie glad to discuss with
you nt any time any matter wherein
doulit might arise, if my work is not
done just according to your own pri
vate opinion let’s see if we cannot agree
in order that harmony and efficiency
may go hand in hand for the helpful
ness of you and 1 and the community
needs. Mrs. Ruby Worsham, It. N.

TYPHOID FEVER
The Georgia State Board of Health
predicts an unusually large number of
cases of Typhoid Fever tills year. This
will be a result of at least two condi
tions, viz; a mild winter and an early
spring.
A mild winter facilitates the hiber
nation of a greater number of flies than
would otherwise be the case.
An early spring means an early
crop of new flies and when this hap
pens to an usually big family the num
ber of files at any time during the sum
mer lie twice as great as that of the
same date Inst year. This in turn
might mean that we would have twice
as many eases of any filth born disease
such ns dysentery, typhoid, etc.
Last year there developed 5490 cases
of typhoid fever in this state which
cost us more than $1,000,000 in money
and 540 human lives.
Such losses as these can Ik* easily
and cheaply avoided in two ways as
follows: Ist, by installing sanitary ap
paratus at each home, school, church
and place of business, and thereby pre
venting soil pollution, and secondly by
administering antityphoid vaccine to
each individual in the state, who by
reason of age (12 to 40) is susceptible
to the disease. The vaccine is offered
by (lie State Board of Health free of
charge to any person in the state, and
yet someone who reads this article
and who defers having the vaccine ad
ministered, will very probably have ty
phoid this year and sustain a great
■ conomic loss, if he or she escapes with
life itself.

* Gentlemen:
My son, Early, and I have plowed over 100 acres and
harrowed over 150 acres 10 inches deep. We have
ground 5 tons feed and cotton seed and have sawed
over 15,000 feet of lumber with my FORDSON Tractor.
My only expense for repairs has been four new spark
plugs and my Tractor is running just as good today as
when I bought it.
> The cost of fuel and oil has been much less than feed
for 2 mules. It requires no attention except when work
ing.
Farmers are losing money when they try to farm with
out FORDSON TRACTORS and improved farm ma
chinery.
