THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
IMMUNT FEVER
A Statement Just Lcuod by
State Bo&ni of Health Sayc:
A few cases of unuuiant fever are
bolus reported throughout the state.
They aro widely scattered and so far
not more than two cases have oc
curred in the same vicinity. While
there Is no epidemic the cases are
sufficiently numerous to keep us con
scious of the presence of this dis
ease.
There is very strong evidence that
the majority of the cases of undulant
fever are contracted from drinking
the milk of infected cows. In cattle
the disease is known as contagious
abortion. It is jo called because cows
so infected lose their calves prema
turely. The disease in cattle is wide
spread all over the country, and many
of the finest dairy herds are in
fected. Fortunately human beings are
not very susceptible. If they were
there would be a great many more
cases. While the disease in man is
caused by the same germ, is assumes a
form quite different from that in cat
tie. In fact, it is more serious in that
the victim is sick for many weeks or
even months. It is not often fatal,
but recovery is very slow and te
dious.
As already stated, there is strong
evidence that most of the human
cases are caused by drinking the milk
of infected cattle. Therefore, since
so many of the milk cows in our state
are infected, the safest policy is to
drink only pasteurized milk.
There are other diseases which are
often conveyed through milk. The
most important of these are typhoid
fever, tuberculosis and septic sore
threat. Pasteurization will help in
preventing the spread of these dis
eases also.
RELIEF SEEN IN
NEW LEGISLATION
July Ist, a year ago, federal aid to
states in the work of maternity and
infancy was discontinued. In ourYtate
under this law we had twenty-seven
public health nurses. They had to be
discontinued because Georgia did not
have an appropriation to carry on,
and nothing was left for our State
Board of Health to do but discontinue
tho work.
Anew bill along this line is now
pending in our Congress, which goes
farther in aiding rural communities
through the Public Health Service.
This bill is essential in that we can
get health work for country people
in the remote rural sections.
ij
Rapid Progress Made
Science has made rapid progress In
many ways, but in none more than
preventive medicine perhaps. Our
doctors of medicine can tell us how
to avoid being sick, and can also tell
us if anyone who has been ill with an
infectious disease is a carrier of the
microbes of that disease after appar
ently having recovered, which deter
mines the fact if the individual is a
menace to those with whom he con
tacts. Numbers of outbreaks of typhoid,
for instance, can be traced to a "car
rier” who has handled food, especi
ally milk. No case of infectious dis
ease should be dismissed by the phy
sician until our State Board of Health
Laboratory tells him that the patient
is free of the germs. This service is
rendered by the Board without ex
pense to the individual. The patient
should insist on such examination be
ing made, as the disease may be com
municated to one of his family or
a friend. Be safe and not a menace,
is the best rule.
CLEAN TEETH DO DECAY
Discovery of the cause for decay
in teeth will rank next in importance
to'the discovery of a preventative and
cure of cancer in the opinion of sofne
health workers, says Dean Alfred
Owre, of the Columbia School of Den
tistry and Oral Surgery.
A three-eyar research of the Co
lumbia school, sustained by a grant
from the Commonwealth Fund, has
been conducted in an effort to try and
discover why teeth sometimes decay
when properly cleansed. The work is
being conducted in co-operation with
similar studies made by Yale under a
grant from the Rockefeller Foundation
aud with other organizations in Amer
ica and abroad.
A clue to the cause of tooth decay
is believed to have been found in the
study of nutrition or in systemic
diseases, but no definite findings have
been announced.
Without Health No Prosperity
Every public official should be fully
alive to the good health of the people.
Without health no community can
prosper. Without sanitation no state
can remain well. Malaria and typhoid
sap the vitality of the manpower and
production falls below par. Without
hygienic surroundings the individual
loses hi3 power of resistance, and
the invisible destroyer, the microbe,
gets in his work of illness and death.
Especially is this true in times of
economic stress. When times are
hafd increase your budget for health
and health work.
