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?

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.

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.
