THURSDAY, JUNE ft, 1921. Typhoid Fever-Its Dangers and Causes. By Mrs. Ruby Worsham, Red Cross Public Health Nurse. Any disease which causes between 2004)p0 and 350,000 cases of sickness in a single year and which kills be tween 20,000 and 35,000 persons dur ing the same period of time is a disease which must be feared Apart from our personal loss and suffering caused by typhoid fever it may be said that a careful estimate has been made of the actual money loss to the country from this one dis ease and this loss has been put as be ing at least $100,000,000 While it is not always necessary to think in terms of dollars and cents, yet sudli thought should be enough to rouse us to the urgent need of doing ■everything in our power to prevent ty phoid fever in our own community. In Georgia there were 549 deaths from this disease in 1920; judging from national statistics, as those of Georgia are not yet available, this would mean that there were ten times as many ■cases as there were deaths, and now we have a great health problem to face, for some of these deaths and cases, these deaths, and some of these cases, none being less than three weeks se riously ill, as many more weeks get ting better, and often much longer, must have been in our own community Therefore, let us see what we can do to help this situation. First of all it must be remembered that typhoid fever is caused by certain little poisonous plants called typhoid germs which multiplies with astound ing rapidity. This germ ’was discov ered in 1880 -by a man named Eberth and once discovered the first step was taken in the battle against it. The germ is about one eight-thousands of an inch in thickness but can be seen perfectly with a powerful microscope, for to be seen with the naked eye it would have to be 1000 times larger than it is. Again, 2,000.000 of these germs could be put on the head of one pin, so you see liow T easily this tiny atom could be present in water or milk, and how it can be borne from place to place by the common house fly. The typhoid germ is found in the bladder and intestines of persons sick with the disease; in those having very mild cases and who do not know what is the matter with them and in some rare cases, about three out of a hun dred, who have had the disease, have gotten well but are still what is called a “carrier.” Because it is possible for the germ to be deposited by any one of these persons through their bodily excreta, it will be seen how important it is to protect all excreta from all per sons, so that there is no chance of its coming in contact with the water or milk or food of a well person . The greatest source of infection is the open privy; flies swarm there, carry the germ to the nearest house and may infect a whole family. As any discharge from a person sick with typhoid is dangerous the chance of water becoming infected through the insftnitary privy or through the care less throwing away the secretions of a typhoid fever patient can easily be seen. Therefore, all water supplies should be carefully protected, and all too small to lie seen and the purest looking water has often been found to contain millions of typhoid germs in a single drop. Therefore, the first tiling to remem ber in preventing typhoid is never to allow any body secretions from a sick person to be carelessly disposed of; second, see that your privy is screened or that a septic tank is used; third, avoid contact with any thing used by a person known to have typhoid fever and treat every case of typhoid as a dangerous and contagious disease, which it really is.

W. Slayton, a well-known Cobb coun ty farmer, living a short distance out of Atlanta, Ga. “We tried nearly everything trying to cure him and he* went off to the Springs, thinking maybe the water might help him but it just looked like nothing would reach his trouble. Then he tried dieting and lived on liquid food until almost starved, but even that failed to do him any good and he just kept going from bad to worse. “I don’t guess there ever was a case as stubborn as his and if there ever ' was a confirmed dyspeptic, he was one of them and I guess he would have been one yet if it liad’nt been for this Tanlac. “The first we heard of this medicine was when my father saw an advertise ment in the papers from parties lie knew in Tennessee, who were friends of his and he knew mhat they said about it was the truth so he yot it right away and began taking it. Well sir, it acted just like mapic. Everybody notices the change in father. Why, he is just like a different man and sits down to the table and eats like a farm hand. Only yesterday he ate pork and turnips for his dinner and ate so much we were actually afraid he was going to over-do the thing but he laughed and said nothing hurt him now and thnt he was hungry and expected to eat and make up for lost time. “Now, when a medicine will do things like that I think people ought to know about it and I want to say right now that I would not give one bottle of Tanlac for all the other medicines and health resorts in the country put to gether.” Sharon News Sunday school at this place is pro gressing nicely with good and regular attendance.

In such legisla tion the tax payers have to foot the bill. It costs the city $25 per year to belong to this municipal league and we believe the city fathers acted wisely when they refused to send in their membership fee for the year 1921. If the city council of Boston has any funds to throw away we would much prefer that they give to their present mayor to defray cigar bills, ice cream sodas, banana splits and such. The cigars he would smoke him self and the ice cream sodas, banana splits, nut sundaes, etc., he could use to try and keep the lady voters in a good humor until the next election. — Bostonian, Boston, Ga .
