Great Need Of Health Organization In Georgia As the years pass, thousands of human lives are absolutely wasted be cause of the lack of control of pre ventable diseases. To punish this -x --travagance of human lives as well as human health and money, it is neces sary to institute a campaign that will not only reach <ach county, city and community in the state, hut e&ch indi vidual a? well. There never was a clay when full time health men were so much in de mand as they are today. Men are awakened more than ever as to the great needs of their communities as regards public health measures. Coun ties are adopting the “Ellis Health Law” faster than we can get trained sanitarians to fill these* places. Tlie adoption of this law by the vari ous counties is one of the wisest steps that can be taken. The first grand jury to meet in one of our newest coun ties, recommended the adoption of this measure. Why so important? It is next to impossible to administer typhoid vac cine extensively, without a public health organization. It is not practi cal to inforce our Venereal Law with out this health department. It Is al most impossible to have any system of school inspection without this or ganization. It is difficult to do any thing toward eradicating malaria, ty phoid fever, hookworm, dysentery, small pox and many other contagious diseases until two successive grand Juries have adopted this law. The State Board of Health therefore urges each county to take this step in the interest of humanity. Patent Medicines One of the strange facts that we are at a loss to account for is the thous ands upon thousands of dollars that are spent by our people for what is ordinarily called “patent medicine." The miracle producing remedies that are constantly kept before the public in every way possible to attract the attention of a sick and suffering pub lic. How long such methods can and will thrive among a people who are supposed to be intelligent and ordinarily possessed of good com mon sense and Judgment we are un able to say. If you are sick you need a physician and not an advertised remedy. If you need attention for any ill, even the slightest, you need intelligent advice, individual advice. If you are not sick you need to save your money against the day when you are, and will need attention. We believe in preventative medicine, and with the right kind of sanitation, regular hours, proper diet and exercise, you will not have that feeling that causes you to rush to a drug store and buy somebody's “cure all." We could mention many different kinds of these nostrums but as a class those recommended for the cure of the Venereal Diseases are perhaps the most dangerous. They never cure. They perhaps lull you to believe that you are cured and at a later day you will awake to the realization of the fact that you were not, and that it is then too late, that you will likely never be well. The Georgia State Board of Health advises our people to discontinue the use of all so-called patent medicines of every kind. Consult your physician, One-Third Of Men Not Fit The great world war has brought home to us many lessons, and opened our eyes to many problems never seri ously considered but under the light of the present day that loom large in our future work —none perhaps more forcefully than public health. The draft boards of our state found one-third of our young men unfit for military service. This is a deplorable condition. We must as citizens awake to the full realization of this and bend our every energy to have our coming men and women cleaner, more fit, and as perfect as we can make them. Venereal Disease has done its work among our people. The reports show that 2,403 cases of syphilis and gonor rhoea have been reported in the past two months. Only 2,904 of all other communicable diseases were reported in the same time, excluding only influ enza. of which we had over six thou sand. This is one phase of reform that we must get busy with. Will you not give this serious consideration, and help us in the warfare against Ve nereal Diseases? GEORGIA STATE BOARD OK HEALTH. ANTHRAX FOUND IN MORE BRUSHES; PUBLIC WARNED After an extensive examination of shaving brushes confiscated by the State Hoard of Health following the de elopment of a case of anthrax at Camp Gordon, anthrax spores were found in other brushes purchased in the open market. Dr. Abercrombie on Tuesday stated that the discovery of these siwres in additional brushes other than the one used by the patient who became in fected increased the danger to the pub lic in the use of cheap brushes. In issuing this second warning to the peo ple of the state against the use of cheap brushes, he further states that there is always danger from the use of such brushes.

It just seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were no good at all for my trouble. I heard THEDFORD’S BLACK-DRAUGHT recommended very highly, so began to use it It cured me. 1 keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. Ido not have sick headache or stomach trouble any more.” Black-Draught acts on the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys tem.

But we notice, says the Ohio State Journal, that soon as anyone begins to got a few dol lars ahend ho discovers that Ae needs lots more independence than he thought he did. Eliminating Poison ivy. The cheapest and most effective method of eliminating poison ivy, ac cording to experts of the United States department of agriculture, is the sim ple one of ri>otiug up the plants and de stroying them. If the poison ivy is In large fields it may be necessary to plow and cultivate the land. Ivy on large trees, stone walls nnd buildings can he killed by arsenate of soda, at the rate of two pounds to ten gallons of water. Two or three applications are sufficient. Health About Gone Many thousands of women suffering from womanly trouble, have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman's tonic, according to letters we receive, similar to this one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell, of Hayne, N. C. “I could not stand on my feet, and just suffered terribly,” she says. “As my suf fering was so great, and he had tried other reme dies, Dr. ■ had us get Cardui. . ■ I began improving, and it cured me. 1 know, and my doctor knows, what Car dui did for me, for my nerves and health were about gone.” TAKE CARDIN The Woman’s Tonic She writes further* "1 am in splendid health ... can do my work. 1 feel I owe it to Cardui, for I was In dreadful condition.” If you are nervous, run down and weak, or suffet from headache, backache, etc., every month, try Cardui. Thousands of women praise this medi cine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with their women patients, for years, endorse this medi cine. Think what it means to be in splendid health, like Mrs. Spell. Give Cardui a trial.
