THCRSDAY, MAY Ift, littl 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.

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.
