Small Pox
Unnecessary Disease
At this season of the year we always
have more or less small pox. People
become panicky when you say “small¬
pox,'’ and yet there is no cause for
alarm; in fact, there is absolutely no
reason for our having small-pox; it is
of the diseases for which we have
an absolute preventive, so why have
smallpox? Vaccination Is one of the
few certain things with which we have
to deal. One who is successfully
vaccinated will not contract the dis¬
ease; on the other hand, one who has
the disease is not absolutely immune.
This is also true of measles and such
other diseases. The writer sees no
necessity for a pest house: it is just
as well to handle the case in the place
where the disease is contracted, so ev¬
erybody who conies in contact with
tlie patient, his belongings and his en¬
vironment is successfully vaccinated,
iu other words, we would not have
such a disease existent if everyone
were successfully vaccinated.
If this statement is true, then why
not the practice of vaccination uni
versa!? There seems to be a dread in
the minds of the laity about vaccina¬
tion that is hard for the medical man
to understand. You hear grapevine
reports of people losing their arms
from vaccination; that is not true;
the small pox vaccination will not pro¬
duce such result: in fact, not neces¬
sarily will a successful vaccination
produce much discomfort. Infants
who are vaccinated a few days after
their birth suffer little inconvenience;
in fact, that is the time for it to be
done. The severe sore arms are not
vaccination arms; they are infected
arms. This infection can invade the
body through any break in the skin.
We often have blood poisoning from
almost any kind of an injury; we have
seen much worse arms and hands from
an accidental splinter than from a vac¬
cination, so have you.
How long will it be before we will
have compulsory vaccination? In thh
day of prevention of disease how long
will we hesitate on making vaccina
tion necessary before entering oni
common school's or still better, make
it compulsory on the nccoucher to vac
cinate the baby before lie dismisses
his obstetrical case?
How long?
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
A FEW THINGS WE HAVE DONE
TOWARDS THE CONTROL OF
VENEREAL DISEASES IN GEOR
G1A.
We have established seven Venereal
Disease Clinics for the treatment 01
these diseases. These clinics art
treating successfully many cases ol
venereal disease. For the clever
months of 1919 to December 1st, wc
had in these clinics 3,376 cases ol
Gonorrhea, 4,138 cases of Syphilis, IGf
of Chancroid, 349 eases of other ve
nerea! infection.
We administered 11,140 doses ol
Arsphenamine; we had under quaran
tine 1,400 and in hospital 32.
We have established in the State
142 places in us many counties where
free treatment for Syphilis can be
had. We have established a Wasser
maun Department in the Laboratory
of the State Hoard of Health for the
free examination of blood for the phy
sicians of the Slate. This Depart
inent has examined over 7,000 speci
men of blood. This does not include
the examination of blood at the clinics
The Laboratory also makes nxamina
tions of smears few Gonorrhea.
We have addressed fourteen modi
cal societies.
Delivered sixty-two public addresses
Held seventy-eight conferences wit!
men and women interested in the wai
on venereal diseases.
Made sixteen inspections of clinics
Prepared and sent out to the weekly
and daily press thirty-one columns o'
matter in plate form.
We have visited ten cities of thi
State, inspected and graded them or
venereal work.
We have written thousands of let
ters and sent out thousands of paro
phlets.
We have reached thousands of oui
people through moving picture s, store
opticon slides and card exhibits.
Your legislature has passed and wt
now have adequate laws and regula
tions for the control of prostitution
treatment and quarantine of the in
fected, a law creating a Home for th«
Feebleminded, 60% of the prostitutes
coming under this head. We have hat
a number of cities inspected; few
houses of open prostitution remain;
these should and must be closed.
It must be remembered that out
young men of the -i cond million call
ed to arms had an infection of ovei
13%. We have one city with greatej
j infection than any city in the Union
i We have over 25% of our insane witfc
Syphilis, and almost 50% of our blind
from Gonorrhea. Syphilis is the great
i est killing disease, and Gonorrhea is
the cause of more sterility and sur
j gical operations tnan any other dis¬
ease.
Your individual help is vitally ne
eessary for a successful warfare. You
I are the advance guard, and stand or
the outpost to warn us, advise us, anc
| to repel every attack on the youth oi
our land and more especially to ware
off venereal infection from our daugh
ters and the coming generation. We
absolutely rely on you. Pledge to de
liver your best endeavor along the line
of keeping fit our youth.

FORDSON
trade-mark
Farm Tractor
it is a habit of Hetn-y Ford to thoroughly try out and test any product he man¬
ufactures before he puts it on the market, lie personally must know it will do all
lie wants it to do before he will allow anybody else to buy it. For thirty.live years
he worked on this Fords,m Tractor. He kept buying land until he lmd something
like eight- thousand acres in order that he might get a great variety of soil condi¬
tions containing the plowing problems that meet the farmeis of the world,and then
the Fordson Tractor was put to work and made to take all sorts of practical tests
for years before Mr. Ford put it on the market.
And. therefore, when it came on the market, it would do the work he said it
would do. Pe >ple have bought it, have tried it out, have tested it, and it has
proven to he ail that Mr Ford claims it to be. anil that is why that while farm trac¬
tors have been on tile American market more thin twenty years, and while three
hundred have been sold, one hundred thousand of that, three hundred thousand are
It lias sold rapidly because when one farmer bought, one he practically con
vei-led the neighborhood to the desirability and profit, of the Fordson Tractor on
the farm.
Die Fordson is made small, compact, flexible, dependable. It in made to he
much more convenient to handle than a horse. It was made so that anybody of or¬
dinary common sense could operate and take cure of it,. Wc wanted to make it so
that, a mechanic, would not have to be sold wild every tractor. It. was made bv it
farmer for a farmer, and it has the endorsement of the farmers—the little farmer
and the big farmer. Some farmers have one, some farmers have ten and fifteen
and one farmer we know of has fifty-six. It works just as well in the Went as it
docs in the Last. It is just as flexible in the North as it is in the South. It is just
as profitable in the wheat fields as it is in the sugar and rice fields. It is just as use¬
ful and flexible on the fruit ranch as it is among the fields of oats and barley. It is
JuHt as useful and profitable in the lumber camp, railroad yard, coal mine as it is in
any other comnu reial line. But especially designed for the farmer, it is esp< e'ally
his necessity.
because it increases the production of every ap.re by enabling the farmer to cul¬
tivate hie ground to better advantage than lie can with mule or horse power. It
takes the eling and drudgery out of farm work, it is a great conserve!- of Uhm-ex¬
pense. (). it has so many money-saving advantages that the farmer can’t do with¬
out it and be progressive and make money.
M So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him more about this Fordson
Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for him on hi.s own farm. Let ns test it out
t.o his s >il conditions. Let's show him.
si Ho i t, delay, because there are only so many Fordson Tractors to come to this
if territory. Get your order in now, and remember that the Fordson after-service is
prompt and sure. We are supplied with everything necessary to keep your Ford
SOU going every day in (he year. Come in and let’s talk it ever.
