Danger Every Day
Knowing the Truth, Will You
Heed It?
If 70,000 men out of the first million
examined under the draft act in Geor
gia had a venereal disease, it is time
for every woman and child in the state
to know what syphilis and gonorrhoea
is. If the above proposition holds good
as to the entire population there are
203,000 cases of syphilis and gon
orrhoea distributed among the people.
They meet you on the street, they
sit beside you in the theater; they
eat from the same dishes and drink
from the same glasses at the cafes and
restaurants that you do eat and drink
from. They turn the same door knob,
they try on the same gloves that you
do. They handle the fruit and vege
tables that you place on your dining
table for your family to eat.
The time has come for your family
doctor to get down off of his roost of
false modesty and foolishness and tell
you that the matter or pus from a
syphilitic or gonorrhoeal sore carries
the poison and that when it is placed
on a cracked lip or scratched hand you
are very liable to contract the disease.
Your family physician ought to go far
ther and tell you that in spite of treat
ment the poison of syphilis and gonor
rhoea may be retained in the human
body and produce paralysis or insanity
in old age and that a child born to a
mother or father whofis infected with
a venereal disease if born alive will in
more than 80 per cent of the cases be
blind, deformed or mentally deficient.
These are the diseases of the father
that are bequeathed to the third and
fourth generations. They are the can
cers that are eating into the physical,
mental and moral life of our nation.
They are the skeletons that hang in
the closets of our most palatial homes
as well as the shanties and hovels of
our poor.
When you ask him: If your family
physician does not tell you how to pro
tect your wife and your children from
such disease, he has neglected to per
form tho highest and most noble duty
of his profession. If your family phy
sician does not file a complete and ac
curate birth certificate for every child
within 10 days after it is born, 'if he
does not repoit every communicable
disease, if he does not carefully and
completely fill out each death certif
icate, he has failed to furnish the local
and state health officers with the
necessary data upon which is based the
prevention of all diseases. It is said
that 30 per cent of all blindness is due
to gonorhoea, but without complete
birth segistration no one can tell; for
it is into the eyes of the infant that
the gonoirhcea! matter is placed and
carelessly preventive measures are
neglected that produce this blindness.
If the death certificates are examined,
few certificates show syphilis as the
cause of death, due to the fact that the
physician tried to hide the real cause
or was grossly ignorant of the real
cause of death. Many certificates show
senile demential, locomotor ataxia, pa
resis and blood poisoning when such
deaths are in truth due to syphilis.
The time has come in Georgia when
the people must demand of the health
officers protection against communica
ble diseases and of the physicians com
plete and accurate birth and death
registration and the public notification
of all preventable disease.
VENEREAL DISEASE
IS NOT
A NECESSARY EVIL
IF
Men and women would refrain
from wrong-doing;
Everyone infected remained under
treatment until cured;
Those infected took care of them
selves and thought of the wel
fare of others;
THEN
the great menace to the people of
this country
COULD BE STAMPED OUT
ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART?
CLEAN UP
With the demobilization o f prac
tically four million men who have not
alone been drilled in the use of arms
and modern warfare, but who have
been told time after time that clean
living was the right life of a soldier,
that sanitation around the camp pays
and will pay around the home. That
most of our ills are due to our own
disobedience of recognized health laws,
and that regular hours, proper food, as
well as clean sexual life and thought
would conserve our strength and give
vigor to our every day life. They have
been taught in the camp what they
should have known from their fathers
before they were called to the colors.
They have been made better men,
cleaner men than when they answered
the call of our country. The truth is
that five-sixths of venereal diseases
were brought to the camps from the
home towns and near-by cities, and
only one-sixth of the total infection of
the men has occurred since their en
listment.
Can we say that we have cleaned up
our home communities ready for the
home coming? Is it likely that demob
ilization will mean in your commun
ity demoralization? Have you gotten
rid of questionable characters? Have
you put out of existence all places of
disrepute in your vicinity? Have you
yet places where men and women of
questionable character congregate?
Don't you think it is time to clean up?
OFFICERS OF LAW CAPTURE
WHISKEY, WAGON AND
MULES.
Ninety gallons of corn whiskey,
a pair of mules, a two-horse wag
onand two men all were taken in
custody by Constable W. M. Tol
bert and Chief M. H. Bailey last
Wednesday.
The wagon passed through Jef
ferson that day early in the after
lion. There was nothing suspi
cious looking about the wagon
and team. It was an ordinary two
iorse covered wagon, drawn by
wo very unpretentious looking
Baalams. The team moved along
hrougli Jefferson just as go oth
:r teams. Soon after passing thru
liformation reached Constable W.
M. Tolbert that the wagon carried
a large quantity of liquor. A
warrant was sworn out and plac
ed in his hands for the arrest of
the parties in the wagon. lie,
Chief -U. 11. Bailey and Mr. Nat
Tolbert went in Mr. Tolbert’s car,
and followed after the team. It
was overtaken on the Athens Riv
er Road, about seven miles from
Jefferson. The car drove up in
front of the team, which halted.
There were two men in the wagon
and the wagon and contents ta
ken in charge by the officers of the
aw.
Constable Tolbert and son
brought the men and part of the
whiskey to Jefferson, placed the
men in jail and stored the liquor
in the same place. Chief Bailey
took charge of the wagon, team,
and the residue of the liquor.
Constable Tolbert and son went
back in the car, met Chief Bailey,
aid came back to Jefferson, stor
ed the remainder of the liquor,
aid locked up the team and wag
on When the young men were ar
•ested, the officers found the liq
lor carefully covered over with
Irish potatoes. It is said the
young men had a contract with a
nan who had agreed to give them
SIOBO for ninety gallons of liquor,
or a price of sl2 per gallon.
The young men who had charge
>f the liquor were aged about
lineteen and twenty-two years.
They lost, however, not only the
iquo'r, but the mules, wagon and
potatoes, which will be sold, one
bird of the proceeds of which
will go to the officers making the
arrest, and two-thirds to the coun
y, one-half of which is subject to
nsolvent cost of officers of the
'Ci'i’t.
The young men, Howard Mc
\fee and Frank West, have giv
;n bond for their appearance at

Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes:
“From the time I en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next. I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. 1 would think
1 could not endure the
pain any longer, and I
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . .
1 decided to
TAKE
CftRDUI
The Womans Tonic
“ I took four bottles,”
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, “and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that 1 have
not a pain. . .
“ It has now been two
years since I took Cardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble.”
If you suffer pain caused
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up y ourrun-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car

which will start vour liver just as
surely as calomel, but it. doesn’t
make you. sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feci weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day’s work. Take a spoonful of
Dodson’s Liver Tone instead and
