LACK OF ENDURANCE
In the early part of the recent world
war the British decided to attempt the
capture of Constantinople, which, with
Its natural surroundings and added
fortifications, was one of the strong
e t fortified places in the whole world.
To effect its capture would in a large
measure eliminate the Turks from the
conflict and would open a gate for
the transportation of the Russian
troops for service on the Western
front. Tinder the cover of a heavy
attack by the British fleet, despite
the many mines brought down among
the battleship* by the swift current
of the Dardanelles, their transports
landed a large force on the Gallipoli
peninsular for a joint attack by land.
Several days of desperate fighting
took place with minor successes. Fin
ally the British decided to give up the
attack and withdrew. It was learn
ed later that had the British contin
ued their attack one hour longer the
T urkish forces would have been
forced to evacuate and surrender the
stronghold, In that all their available
ammunition would have been exhaust
ed by that time. One hour more of
endurance on the part of the British
would have brought the coveted prise
into the)* hands.
This p itnt is again illustrated in the
decisive battle of Waterloo. The Brit-
1 h under Wellington had the neces
sary endurance to withstand the fierce
attacks o£ the French until Blucher
could come to their rescue with his
twenty thousand Prussians The re
sult is well known. This endurance
of 'the British resulted In the com
plete defeat of probably the greatest
military leader In all history. Napol
eon.
Someone has said that life Is a bat
tle from the cradle to the grave. We
are constantly carrying on a warfare
with our small, but numerous and
powerful enemies, disease germs,
meeting with success or reverses just
as our endurance is sufficient or in
sufficient to withstand their attacks.
In the warfare of nations the enemy
is usually visible. In the warfare
which disease germs wage against the
human body, our enemies are unseen.
Many times we know nothing of their
presence, until they have launched a
heavy and successful attack against
our unsuspecting lines. It is then nec
essary to call to our rescue the rein
forcemeats of medical skill In order
to drive them out and restore 0UP
outermost lines of health.
Disease germs such a* those o f
colds, pneumonia, tuberculosis are al
ways lurking in the respiratory tract
only waiting a lowering of our resist*
atce in order to make a successful
attack. Other germs, such as those
caiming typhoid favor, diphtheria and
F r i-n called social diseases gonorrhea
aid syphilis only await us exposing
o>.r«cJves to them. Medical science
has blessed humsnity to finding cures
for the great majority of diseases. It
has also found means for the pre
vention of n great many of them. It
Is up to you to choose whether you
pe ter (be ounce of prevention or the
pound of cure.
Your State Board of Health assists
In any way It can to bring about the
cure of disease, in helping your phy
sician to make a diagnosis of the di
sease In order to enable him to ad
minister such treatment that is det
rimental to that particular germ or
group of germs causing the disease.
Its greatest service, however, to the
people lies In the prevention of di
sease. For Instance, they will furnish
to you typhoid vaccine, which your
family physician will administer. This
causes no loss of time from your work
and protects you against typhoid fever
for two or three years. This protec
tion is not in the experimental stage,
but is a fact long since proved.
Ask yourself this question: Is it
better to take the typhoid vaccine
with the little, if any, inconvenience
It causes and be protected against the
typhoid germs which are usually tak
en into the body through an impure
supply of water and milk, or to run
the risk of contracting the disease?
You will probably say—'Take the vac
cine"—Well then, have you taken the
vaccine? If you haven’t, you are
taking a chance of losing time from
your work, of expending money for
medical attention, of suffering several
weeks, of causing your loved ones an
aciety; in fact, you are risking your
life itself which is one of your moat
priceless jewels.
■
The above is just one of the many
wayB of preventing sickness in which
the state Board of Health is striving
to serve you. There are many things
In which they can advise and Instruct
but the application of the advica
and Instruction has to be made by you.
They can best serve you by your co
operation with them—advice, however
good, will not help you unless you
heed and apply It.
There are simple laws of nature
which you must observe every day
In the week; If you expect to continue
to enjoy good health you must be
regular in your habits, eating sleep
ing, recreation, etc. You may violate
the laws of the land and escape pun
ishment of body, but you must pay
the full penalty for each violation of
the laws of nature. Therefore It la
to your interest and is your duty to
those about you to keep yourself
In such a healthy physical condition
that whenever disease germs, those
unseen enemies of mankind, attacq
you, their attack will be met and com
pletely repulsed by the resisting pow
er of your body.
jway Of course If your resistance gives
and permits an invasion of thesa
germs, lose no time In getting medical
aid, for the forces of the invaders will
multiply day by day. Many deaths
occur from diseases which in their
inciplency are considered so lightly
that people put off getting the remedy
until tomorrow, when probably by
that time those organism have made
such Inroads that then even medical
science cannot stay their attack.
Remember that if you possess a
strong vitality, purchased by right
living when in good health, you have
a much greater chance of recovering
from a severe illness than those who
have lived day by day in such a way
that they have but poor vitality. Many
a person owes his life today to his
daily right living. Your physician will
tell you that a person with a strong
vitality will recover from a surgical
operation or a severe illness much
quicker than one with low vitality.
If you are not feeling well, go to
your physician for an examination. If
the State Board of Health can assist
him In diagnosing your trouble, he
has but to ask them. If you are feel
ing well today, then live in such a
way that you |g)ll continue to feel
well tomorrow. Store up your vital
ity by simple living, observing all the
laws of nature. Take all preventive
measures against disease. Then you
will not have to resort to the more
drastic curative methods. You know
not at what time these unseen enemies
of yours are going to launch a most
vigorous attack against your very life.
Remember that if your vitailty or en
durance can hold out fifteen minutes
longer than they can, then to you
Is that most precious victory, the
continuance of your life for your home
and oountry.

Every now and then somebody calls to ask for
our opinion of some get-rich-quick scheme in which
he or she had been asked to invest For several years
oast the country has been flooded with bonanzas (?)
and many people to their sorrow, have put money
into them.
Occasionally some good but misguided man, who
has already bought a “wild cat” stock, calls on us
seeking information. We like. always to be encour
aging, but on such occasions we feel very much as we
imagine the doctor does who has to tell his patient the
worst
It is for the reason that there are very bad as well
as very good securities that we advise prospective in
vestors in any issue to investigate it thoroughly.
