It is the open season for malaria, ty I
phold, dysentery, chiggers and wood
ticks. If you are contemplating a va
cation you may certainly expect tc
come in direct contact with disease
germs, and knowing this you should
fortify youreelf against them. There
are minor inconveniences like snake
bites aud poison oak, sunburn and
leore feet that you will also have the
ipportunity to acquire.
The beBt remedy we know to sug
Igest to you la to live right, avoid
lover exertion, play fair with yourself,
fce sure of your water supply and
sanitary surroundings; <lo not stay
where disease is prevalent; home is
generally the safe place.
Now is the time to use typhoid vac¬
cine; have you taken your shot? Make
your premises sanitary aud have your
physician give you the three doses of
typhoid vaccine prepared by the Geor¬
gia State Board of Health.
It is not too late to do what you
can to eradicate the flics around your
home; they are, perhaps, the greatest
cause of disease; swat them and elim¬
inate their breediug places.

while on the streets or in
public places. Within two years the
disease was completely exterminated.
was necessary, of course, to estab¬
lish rigid quarantine regulations for
dogs imported from the continent.
a few cases of rabies have
in England in spite of the
rigid enforcement of quarantine laws.
Investigation revealed the fact
that aviators, witli whom dogs were
quite popular as mascots, in flying
back am! forth across the Channel
brought a few infected animals with
them from time to time, with a result
that the disease bus agaiu re appeared.
The most common symptom of the
rabid dog is ttie tendency to attack
bite every moving object. But it
does not necessarily follow that every
bitlug dog 1s rabid. A wound from a
non-rubid dog is not more dangerous
than a wound from some other acci¬
dental source. There is more or less
from every wound, regai dies#
of source, and precautions should al¬
ways be taken to prevent pyogenic in¬
fection, or blood poisoning. The ques
of hydrophobia should always be
considered, however.
In case of dog bite proceed as fol¬
lows:
1. Disinfect the wound with Iodine
or carbolic acid. A small drop of
uitiric acid is preferable, but core
should be taken not to apply beyond
the edges of the wound. A physician
should be consulted.
2. Don't get excited. There is very
little danger, if proper precautions
carried out.
3. Capture the dog. if possible. If
the symptoms of the disease are well
so that there is no question
of the diagnosis, it may be killed at
once, care being taken not to injure
the brain, aud the head shipped to the
stale board of health laboratory care¬
fully packed in ice. The express
regulations require that such material
be sealed water tight in tin eontain
ers. The sealed container should be
enclosed in au outside container also
4. If the diagnosis is not certain
the animal should under no circum
stances be killed, but should be con¬
fined for observation for ten days.
During observation he should be treat¬
ed kindly, fed well and boused com¬
fortably. The active s age of labies.
known as the ' mad" stage, rarely
lasts longer than four or I've days,
during which time the symptoms be
come rapidly more pronounced, I* the
majority of cases, if the animal is
rabid, a diagnosis can be established
within twenty-four hours. A veteri¬
narian should be summoned it possi¬
ble. If the animal continues normal
during the period of observation—
seeuis to eat. drink and sleep well—
then the idea of rabies may safely be
dismissed. It is not necessary to con¬
fine him longer than ten days. Hun¬
