Hon. J. B. Moore, of Baxley, will
introduce and push for passage a law
for the protection of the women of our
State, known as the Marriage Law.
This requires an examination of the
man not less than fifteen days before
the date of issuance of a marriage li
cense, and a certificate from a reputa
ble physician that lie is not infected
with a venereal disease.
If you would like to see this law en.
acted, write Mr. Moore about it.
THE STATE’S EEST ASSET.
Health is the basis of life; the health
of the child is of fundamental import
ance. In 1920, 35.5% of all deaths in
Georgia were of children under 14
years old; of this number 31,77c were
of infants and pro-school age children.
We have done some effective work
along the lines of the health of the
school child, but this is practically
only 10% of the problem, the field ol
tlip infant and pre-school age child
having really not been touched.
Unfortunately, mankind tends to
work on the "after the fact" plan; ws
wait until some evil occurs, then strive
to correct it. Disease is not only
caused by disease germs transmitted
by files, impure water, etc., but ol
equal importance is the state of "the
Individual's resistance. We should not
wait until the child is sick and then
take it to a doctor. We are treating
tho child as "the nation's best asset*
only when we keep him well. As soni'
one has said, “the way. to keep people
front dying to to keep them well.”
Tho most effective agent to keep
your baby well is a Children’s Health
Center. There are 30'of these Chil
dren Health Centers in Georgia, do
ing splendid work for the children of
their communities. Why not have a
Children’s Health Cen'er in y<»ttr com
munity? Write to the Division of Child
Hygiene. Stn o Board of Health, At
lanta, for information.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN
The Georgia State Board of Health
we are told, often roeoivoa letters froir
people sotting out in detail .their ail
ments. symptoms and conditions; the
appeals the sufferers make are pa
thotic; the writers are in distress
some cases are more than likely men
tal only.
The Stato Foard of Health is al
ways glad to hoar from any citizen
of the state; It Is delighted to be of
any service that it can; in fact, that
is what it is for, but so many people
expect the Impossible. It is, for ex
ample, impossible to get a prescription
hv mail for any malady; It is itnpos-
Mble for anyone io prepare a remedy
that will fit any kind of disease or
he suitable for anyone other than ths
one for whom it is prepared. No one,
can intelligently diagnose or prescribe
for anyone without a thorough exam
ination; anyone should see the truth
of thi3 statement. No one can sit up
In an ofiice and concoct a few gallons
of stuff that would be of any service
to the one taking ft; it is unreason
able to suppose that such a thing can
be done.
If you are sick or need medicine
consult your own physician; have him
make a thorough examination ur.d if
lie is net satisfied call in or visit a
consultant, ft ” ,'n this way or.iy can
you get scientific advice; in this way
only can you secure the proper care
and attention. Take no sterotyped
remedy; take no patented medicine so
called, and avoid those who use such
methods rf treatment. Every individ
U!, i .*3 a. prob'-un t:-‘o himself or her-
seTf and EHoultl so*Te cohsHlered. We
have aa honest physicians in this
county as can be had anywhere and
they can give you the personal service
that each ill person deserves. Really
whether you are ill or not we do not
know of an investment that would pay
you better than to have a thorough
examination at least once a year The
State Board of Health will make all
the laboratory examinations without
nny expense to you or to your phy
sician.

Vaccination carries with it to some
people the idea of a sore. This
is true of smallpox vaccination, but not
so with typhoid vaccination. Tho
State Board of Health ndvise3 all of
the people to use this remedy against
this summer and autumn disease:
there is no time to be lost; DO IT
NOW is a good rule.
The hot weather diseases are now
claiming their toll; we have to pay
for our neglect. It is not too late to
vaccinate against typhoid fever; the
State Board of Health furnishes free
vaccine; have your physician adminis
ter it today.
