STATE SANITARIUM IS
, TO BE ENLARGED
o >
Atlanta, July 15.—The board
of trustees of the Georgia sanita
rium at Milledgeville for the in
sane will be compelled to close
the doors of the asylum against
additional patients unless the leg
islature provides an appropria
tion for new buildings which are
needed to house the patients al
ready in the sanitarium, accord
ing to John Brantley, president
of the trustees, in an interview
given out in Atlanta today.
President Brantley, who is the
head of a large manufacturing
concern at Blackshear, Ga., and
one of the leading business men
of the state, has been a member
of the board of trustees for many
vears, and is thoroughly conver
sant with the needs of the sanita
rium.
‘‘The. time is not far distant,’
declared Mr. Brantiey, “when the
state of Georgia will be compell
ed to establish a second sanita
rium at some other point, because
one institution will not be able
to take care of the rapidly grow
ing number of patients sent to it
for care and treatment.
“A bill is now pending in the
legislature to appropriate $300,-
000 for the erection and equip
ment of two buildings at the sani
tarium,.
“The present buildings have a
capacity for 3,315 patients but
are crowded with 4,200. Condi
tions in the building for negro
male and fema.e patients are es
pecially bad, and undoubtedly re
sponsible for the high death rate
among them. This is an ugly
fact which nfust be faced.
| “Likewise the building for
white female patients is danger
ously over-crowded.
“If the needed buildings are
not supplied, I know of nothing
the board can do but close the
doors of the sanitarium to fur
i,ther admissions except as vacan
cies occur by death and disease.”
PEOPLE WILL TALK
Yes, people will talk
The saying is true.
They talk about me,
And they talk about you.
If we go to the opera,
Someone will say
We should go to church
And learn how to pray.
If we go to church
And offer up prayers, -
They say we are hypocrites,
And putting on airs.
If we are rich,
They call us a thief,
Scoft at our sorrows
And laugh at our grief,
If we are poor,
They. say we shirk,
We're always lazy,
And never would work,#
They talk of our prospects,
. They talk of our past,
And if we are happgi *
They say it caf%t.
They talk of our [&v& ores,
They talk of our foes,
They talk of our follies,
They talk of our woes.
They talk of our joys,
They talk of our fears, .
They talk of our smiles,
They talk of our tears.
They talk if we are single,
They talk if we are wed,
They talk of us living,
They talk of us dead.
Tho’ we live like an angel,
With circumspect walk,
Our efforts are useless,
For people will talk.

GOVERNOR HARRIS
OPENS HEADQUARTERS
Atlanta, July 15,—Governor N,
E. Harris has opened campaign
headquarters in the Kimball
House and from this time for
ward ke will devote all of his
leisure time to the race. He will,
of course, be occupied most of the
time during the session of the
legislature, but for about weeks
after it closes and before the pri
mary, he intends to ‘“shell the
woods.”
It is the governor’s intention,
when ke does get started, to make
as many campaign speeches as
any of his opponents, thereby
disposing for once and all of the
rumor of feebleness which his op
ponents tried to circulate for
awhMe at the start of the race.
His friends expect the cam
paign 5 open up in full strength
when the governor takes - the
stump. Those who have com
plained of a lack ef pep in the
gubernatorial situation cannot
put anything on the governor,
say politicians. His recent speech
at Statesbore, if one may judge
by reports, is still reverberating
over the state and indicates what
the governor will do when the du
ties of his office permit him to
make his campaign.
“I expect to make as many
speeches as possible,” said Gov
ernor Harris today. “I am equal
to four or five a day, when the
speaking dates are arranged. I
never felt better in my life.”
REGISTRATION NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the
registration books of the city of
Firzgerald will be opened at eight
o’clock a. m. on the morning of

POLIO—MYELITIS OR IN
FANTILE PARALYSIS
(Written by Emory Park, M. D.)
Polio-myesitis is a disease
principally occurring in children
of from one to five years of age
—hence the synonym, infantile
paralysis. The cause of the dis
ease is probably a microscopical
germ. The disease oceurs as iso
lated cases or sometimes as a
‘widespread epidemic. There
seems to have been an increase
in the prevalence of the disease
during the last few years. It is
estimated that from 1907 to 1910
there were at least 20,000 cases in
the United States. It is an es
tablished fact that it is a conta
gious disease, the contagion being
transmitted by direct contact, by
a third person, by cats and dogs,
and possibly by flies and other
insects. The incubation period—
that is, the time elapsing between
the time of exposure and time of
development of symptoms—is
propably from one to fourteen
days.
While adults may be attacked
the greatest incidence is among
very young children, so the
course of the disease will be de
lscribed from that standpoint.
Symptoms
~ The attack usually comes on
suddenly. A child which has
been previously well and healthy
suddenly is taken with fever,
complains of headache, aching in
‘the limbs and back, becomes dull
and somlent or restless and de
lirous. There may also be vomit
ing and diarrhoea, twitching of
muscles or convulsions. Occas
ionally there is stiffness of the
muscles in the neck and limbs,
and frequently there is pain ;m(’.fli
tenderness in the back and lowm“
extremities. The duration and
intensity of these symptoms are
variable, lasting from one to two|
days to as long as a week or]
more, After the above symptums|
have subsided the parents nutiu:|
that the child is more or less ex-|
tensively paralyzed. The muscles
of the trunks are somectimes in
volved, but usually the paralysis
of the extremities is more notice
able. [ither one or both legs,
both legs and an arm, or all the
extremities may be paralyzed.
The child is unable to move the
one affected, and the part feels
cold and clammy, looks “ some
what blue, and 4 time, unless re
covery takes place, becomes much
smaller and shorter than the ex
tremities not involved. The re
flexes in the diseased limbs are
lost but sensibility is retained.
After a time, unless the disease
has proved fatal during the acute
stage, the child’s general condi
tion improves and sometimes the
paralysis entirely disappears, and
the child is again restored to per
fect health. Unfortunately, how
ever, not infrequently the paraly
sis persists to the same degree as
in the beginning, or only partially
clears up. Various deformities
may take place as a result of the
contraction of the healthy mus
cles being unopposed by the para
lyzed muscles. In this way cur
vature of the spine, club feet and
the like are brought about.
The above symptoms and
changes occur as a result of the
poisons thrown off by the germs
causing the disease first attacking
the entire body and later becom
ing localized in part of the gray
matter of the spinal cord. The
extent of the paralysis which re
sults depends on the extent of
the destruction of this gray mat
ver; and the parts:paralyzed de
pend on the level of the cord at
tacked.
As the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in
the same manner as in the case of
other contagious diseases, such
as csarlet fever, measles, dipthe
ria, and so on. The patient

should be promptly isolated, and
a physician put in charge of the
case as early as possible. No
more people than absolutely nec
essary should be exposed, and
children should be especially ex
cluded from the room.
Sputum and mucous from the
nose and throat should be caught
on rags or paper and burmed at
once. The urine and bowel move
ments should be thoroughly mix
ed with a strong disinfectant be
fore they are thrown out. Strong,
freshly made whitewash isa good
disinfectant, as are also formalin,
carbolic acid and chlorinated
lime.
Cats and dogs may camy the
disease; therefore they should be
kept out of the room.
The fact that fliess may carry
the disease should not be forgot
ten. The sick room should be
well screened, and any flies gain
ing entrance into the room should
be promptly killed. For further
directions as to the care of the
sick room ,write to the State
Board of Health for Bulletin, Vol.
11, Series 3, 1913.
