MALARIA
Only a few years ago doctors, as
well as every one else, thought chills
and fever developed in a person be
cause of breathing bad air, the drink
ing of impure water, or the eating of
certain unripe fruits and raw vegeta
bles. Little or no Importance was at
i tached to the presence of the mosquito,
j except that the bite of certain types
I were very annoying and even painful.
Since the discovery of the fact that
Malaria (chills and fever) can be trans
mitted in no other way than the bite
of a certain specie of mosquito, the
prevention of this disease becomes
quite simple, but often somewhat ex
pensive.
Since mosquitoes can breed only in
I water, the surface of which is rather
: still, the beat plan is to destroy by
I drainage all such bodies of water. If
! drainage is impossible a film of oil
(preferably a mixture of equal parts of
crude oil and kerosene) sprayed on the
surface of the water each week will
destroy the larvae, or wiggle-tails. The
stocking of permanent bodies of water
with top feeding minnows (gambusla
affinis) Is effective, since this particu
lar fish possesses a highly developed
appetite for mosquito larvae. These
can be obtained in many parts of the
state. Some of the County Boards of
Health maintain regular hatcheries.
Upon application the State Board of
Health will notify you of the nearest
hatchery to you.
In order to keep the mosquito out
of the house the proper screening of
the house is very important. Every
opening should he snugly covered with
wire gauze, with a mesh not larger
than one-sixteenth of an inch (No. 16
mesh). Much money has been wasted
on screening of Nos. 10, 12 and 14
mesh, through which the mosquito can
crawl with but little difficulty.
On large plantations, lumber and
turpentine camps, many houses are
often found in such condition as to ne
cessitate rebuilding before screening
would be of any advantage. In such
communities the use of quinine as a
prophylactic is of much importance.
In case a person is bitten by an infect
ed mosquito 10 grains of quinine taken
each day (preferably at bed time) is
Hufldent to protect the adult. Chil
dren are given smaller doses, the ac
tual amount depending upon the age.
Administration of Salvarsan and
Neosalvarsan has become so simpli
fied it is now a routine office proce
dure for the physician. The patient
is not incapacitated for work.
Salvarsan and Neosalvarsan are sup
plied at less than half the prices which
prevailed before the war. Speculation
and profiteering in these chemicals is
now a thing of the past.
The miscroscope and diagnostic lab
oratory have lifted medicine out of
quackery and guesswork into scientific
accuracy and precision. Many are
still unaware of the change.

There are all sorts of cures for hu

ture and true SCIENCE to commend
it. It rises with civilization.
Veneral disease is essentially a com
munity problem and unless the com
munity Is actively interested, little
will be accomplished. Public senti
ment eventually will make syphilis

Vaccine Virus Is used to immunize
humans against virulent smallpox. It
is gathered from pustules formed on
the abdomen of the calf inoculated
with cowpox. All babies should be
vaccinated.
Bacterial Vaccines are dead bacteria
in salt solution. This Injection makes
the body react as though the germs
were altve. producing artificial im
munity. Typhoid Vaccine is of this
type. Now is the time to use it.
Four-fifths of human suffering is
due to ignorance. Medical men of
breadth and vision could cored most
all of this. It is a fertile field for
the medical missionary.
The public have come to realize the
truth ot the statement "that commun
ity health and individual health are
purchasable commodities, and that the
community can have just as much or
just as little health as it is willing
to pay for.”
Small-pox is much more prevalent
than is generally supposed. Many
cases go unattended and from them is
liable to develop severe types. We
have a remedy against small-pox and
everyone should take advantage ot
vaccination.

FROM MRS. SULLIVAN
Am very sorry to know that the
grain crop is not what the farmers
expected of it, neither is the fruit
crop in some sections. These pro
ducts were seemingly the only ready
money crop in sight of the farmer
just now. This disappointment
“hurts,” I know, for I feel the pres
sure very sorely myself, and hope
something may yet occur to alleviate
this disappointment with the farming
people. In a recent visit of mine to
the country I saw yards and yards
full of little chickens, which I hope
will soon be remunerative to their
owners.
The farmers are all blue and
moody and complaining of the short
crop of this and that, tho there are
some who rock along content to have
a smokehouse full of meat, com in
the crib and potatoes in the bank.
Every one of these optimistic farm
ers will tell you that so far as the
prospect of a big strawberry, dew
berry and blackberry crop is con
cerned it couldn’t be better or bright
er.
All along the ditches and highways
the blackberry vines are covered with
blossoms and dewberries are now
turning red. The calculation is that
there will be more “liquid blackberry
jam” made this summer than ‘‘Car
ter had oats” and they say what he
had was an awful sufficiency. A man
not in debt can get along by canning
and housing a sufficiency of all these
home products, but if he is in debt
the future is indeed dark to him. Let
us all economize and live in the
bounds of only our “needs,” and
sooner or later we will find a way
out of all this pressure and embar
rassment.
I should think from the present
price of onions that some of the
farmers would raise a goodly num
ber of them. In passing on the
streets a few days ago I saw some
beautiful white ones, and asked the
price of them and found them priced
at 12% cts. per pound. Taking in
consideration the cost of cotton, don’t
you, Mr. Farmer, think it would be
worth while to try raising onions in
stead of so much cotton or pepper?
It isn’t too late now to sow your
onion seed for your sets for another
year. The price is certainly an in
ducement.
Memorial day has passed with its
usual tender reverence and sacred
ness. As the years pass the occasion
gathers more and more sadness, and
memories grow fonder and dearer.
Each year the gray lines are thinner;
only a few of them are left, and a
few of the Southern states, as the
years pass and thin their ranks, try
ing to increase their pensions. It is
hoped that Georgia will not be so
unfortunate as to be unable to do
likewise, before they are all gone to
a fairer land where their every need
will be looked after, and pensions
will not be necessary. It behooves
us all to do our utmost in administer
ing to their necessities and spare
them from all suffering possible.
I was glad to read in last week’s
News-Gazette that Barnesville had a
tine and enjoyable Memorial day ex
ercises for our old veterans. They
do indeed deserve every pleasure and
comfort that can be given them, for
many of them will not be with us
long.
Forsyth had very impressive ex
ercises, too, and one of the finest
memorial addresses that I ever listen
ed to from Hon. John T. Boifluilett
of Macon. He was historian, orator
and poet. The address was fine and
very impressive and made more so
by the old Confederate songs played
by Bessie Tift orchestra. A pro
fusion of beautiful flowers was an
attractive feature of the day. The
U. D. C. gave them a barbecue din
ner and reported thirty veterans and
thirty-four widows of veterans now
on Monroe county’s list, with no
deaths in the past year.
