DEVASTATING DISEASES
FLOURISH AND DIE
SAYS DOCTOR
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
Diseases appear, flourish and die.
Some of the most devastating epi
demies that the world has even seen
were caused by diseases which most
modern physicians have never had
an opportunity to become familiar
with, such as typhus or spotted fe
ver, jail fever, the plague, the Black
Death. Few modern physicians have
much acquaintance with small pox.
And yet these diseases have wiped
out more populations than all the
wars from Alexander to Napoleon.
Modern civilization, however, has
its own diseases. For instance, death
and disability from automobile acci
dents. The introduction of the whole
sale use of new drugs frequently un
covers new diseases, such as th:
curious blood disease called ‘‘agranu
locytosis,’’ in which the white cells
of the blood disappeared, which was
due to the use of the drug, amido
pyrine, quite popular a few years ago.
For one reason or another we hav
also had entirely new infectious dis
eases in the United States —for in
stance, undulant fever and tularemia
The greatest mystery, however, i
the disease which used to be very
common, called ‘‘chlorosis.” I notice
in the Annals of Medical History ar
article which is called “Chlorosis—
An Obituary.” and the phrase repre
sents the true fact, because chlorosi
apparently no longer exists.
Called “Green Sickness”
The disease occurred entirely ir
young girls at about the onset of
womanhood, and was often called
“the green sickness.” The name is
supposed to describe the color which
the patients presented and which
made diagnosis possible on sight, but
those who are old enough to remem
ber it will echo the words of an eml

Carol Hughes poses in a 1917 frock
with hobble skirt. It’s a deep rose
georgette with draped skirt and lace
front top banded at bhe arms, shoul
ders and hemline with satin and
lace, and tied with a satin sash. It

Square necklines are again with us

nentphysician who said, “It take
the eye of faith to see any justifica
tion for the title of the disease. I
one exercises a great deal of imagina
tion, one may possibly see the slight
eet imaginable tint of olive green in
the shadow beneath the chin, bu'
that is all. To the ordinary eye, the
color is a yellowish pallor in brunets
and a whitish, although extreme
pallor in blondes.”
It was a form of anemia which wa:
cured by iron. Why it should have
been so prevalent fifty years ago and
gone today, nobody knows, unles
modern food habits, with the use of
green vegetables, include more iron
in the diet. I have a little theory of
my own that it is not quite so in
frequent today as we are led to be
lieve, but that it is covered up with
cosmetics.
When I was in Edinburgh a gooc
many years ago, there were several
wards of the Royal infirmary filler’

covers a few of the cases, and that
there really is a great diminution

Children
TRAINING THE TODDLER
t IN SAFETY REQUIRES
MORE THAN WORDS
By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D.
Head Department Parent Education
Cleveland College. Western
Reserve University
A New York publisher has just
brought out a booklet of mine en
titled “Training the Toddler In Safe
ty,” It is dedicated “To All the Lit
tle Children Still Alive.”
I wish I were rich so I might put
ths booklet into the hands of every
young parent who would read it.
Maybe then I could help save some
of the 7,000 babies under five who
will have their precious lives snuffed
out in accidents during the next 12
months. Please let me relay some of
it to you:
“Each year 7,000 babies, from the
ages of one to four, are killed by ac
cidents in the United States!
“Each year 8,000 boys and girls
from five to 14 are killed in the same
swift and terrible fashion! Twice as
many as die from any one of the
dread diseases against which we bat
tle with quarantine, vaccine an inoc
ulation.
“Four times as many youngsters
from five to nine are killed by acci
dent as die from diphtheria. . . .
“Sudden death” is too mild a
phrase. A third of these babies and
boys and girls are burned to death,
not always swiftly.
Yours One of Them
“Suppose one of these children was
yours! . . .
“To start with, we shall have to
turn our backs on a recent and now
prevailing theory of child training.
As interpreted by most parents it
simply means that children should be
alowed to do abuot as they please.
“Put not your trust in the tongue
in teaching tiny toddlers their way
about in their brave new world. Bet
ter put it in the palm of your hand.
“Let your child learn that certain
thnigs—dangers—are to be avoided.
Later let him learn the reasons. . . .
