We are Interested the more in cor
porations. business establishments,
and institutions in which our money
is invested. Os course, we all have a
passive interest in any enterprise
which will expand and develop our
resources, thereby benefiting the com
mercial activities of our state. Civic
pride compels us to recognize the far
reaching effect of all institutions
which bring to us culture and refine
ment and the betterment of society.
However, we always show specific in
terest in that particular institution in
which our capital is invested. “For
where your treasure is, there will your
heart be also."
All of our State institutions merit '
the support they receive at the hands
of our legislature. They were created 1
and are supported for the express pur
pose of serving, in their various ways,
the people of the State, who maintain
them directly by payment of taxes. j
Some of our institutions, however, 1
could do a much greater good to a
greater number of people by being
supported commensurate with the ,
services rendered. Such institutions
which show large dividends on the !
investent should have the whole heart- '
ed co operation of our legislature. For
instance, our State Board of Health
returns, reckoned in the commercial
value of its services, many times more
than the capital invested. It uses the
talents entrusted to it well indeed.
Health of the individual is the foun
dation stone on which the progress
and success of the individual rests.
Any country which neglects the health
of its individuals must of necessity ,
weaken, crumble and give place to a/
more sturdy people. There was once
the great Homan Empire.
If we would compare our State in
this particular to our neighboring
States we would at once see that
Georgia appropriates to its Health De
partment much less per capita than
any of her surrounding sisters. They
have seen the good work of health
protection to their citizenry, realizing
that the sickness of each individual
is an economic loss to the State. They
take particular interest and .pride in
these institutions which return to
them so large dividends in safeguard
ing health.
Our State Board of Health is doing
rerQarkably well in serving the peo
ple, in view of Its limited means.
However, so much better and more i
expansive work could be done with
an increased Investment. Which of
you would not increase your holdings
many fold in any business that was
earning for you. in value of services
rendered, more than 100 per cent on !
your investment each year.
, East year the legislature appropri- ]
ato cl SIO,OOO to (he State Board of ;
Health for the Venereal Disease Con
trol Bureau. In the annual report of ;
this institution for 1924, we find that i
the laboratory of this division alone
made 19,832 examinations, which, it
given the commercial value of $5.00
each as is charged by private insti
tutions amounts to $99,100. A large
amount of field work has been done
in addition toward eradication of ve
nereal diseases, the value of which
cannot be calculated in # dollars and
cents. This is only one of the many
departments of this institution each
of which show similar results. We
think that such a worthy institution
should have the financial support
which it so deservingly merits.
GROWING PAINS.
/ .
We often bear of children suffering
with “growing pains." There is no
such “animal.” A child who complains
of "growing pains” is a sick child and
needs the services of a good physician
without delay. There may be serious j
causes for the pains suffered by chil- |
dren. If the child is under three years]
of age, it is possible that the trouble]
is rickets; this is a general disease
and not a disease confined to the part
of the body where the pain exists. It i
is a serious disease and one that should
have the attention of a competent phy
sician, so says our State Board of
Health, who would likely prescribe di
rect sun's rays and cod liver oil. In
the older child the pains are likely
due to septic absorption or septicemia.
It is our duty to find the focus of the
infection and remove it. Quite often
this is diseased tonsils, abscessed
teeth or adenoids It is imperative
that we get the ou'ending pus out of
the system without the least bit of
delay; it is foolishness to postpone an
operation for the removal of diseased
tonsils. All enlarged tonsils are not
ihfeoted tonsils, and often do not need
removing, but the tonsil that has pus
in it should come out and be removed
completely, not just clipped, but dis
sected out. There are other sources of
infection that we cannot discuss in
this article, but often the most seri
ous damage done is not apparent: it
is most likely the heart that suffers
and in after years will give trouble.
The serious membrane that lines
the joints and the heart is most like
ly to be affected in "growing pains;"
you generally have a tru e rheumatism.
The heart has likely been the first to
suffer, so it well behooves us to have
a good physician make a most thor
ough examination in all such cases.
Remember, growing does not produce
pain; there is a reason; find »; re
move it.
Plain, simple food is best for
health.
