MEDICAL INSPECTION
Advocated for Msriden Schools by Supt.
William p. Kelly.

An especially interesting portion of
School Superintendent William P. KEEL
iy's annual report has to do with medi-
cal inspection Of the Meriden schools,
n subject which will be brought UP and
acted upon at the coming town meet
ing. Mr.. Kelly's discussion will give
the citizens view of the matter from
the standpoint of the educator. He
says
The medical inspection of schools is
so far advanced in this country and
abroad that we are not obliged to
pioneer the way. / shall endeavor
briefly to present the nature and aims
of the inspection and a. plan of work
for Meriden.

Conditions inevitably dangerous to

of grouping together children from all

Boston diphtheria has fallen off about
two thirds and scarlet fever about
five-sixths Before medical inspection
began, some diseases, such as diph-
iberia, for instance, were more com

inspection was introduced, they were
less common during the school term
than during vacation.
Ninety per cent. of the deaths from

years. hence the importance of check

The Lee e. Osgood Co have sold hun

refund the purchase price to any dis
satisfied purchaser, not one jar has
been returned.
While this Is surprising in itself, yet
the most marvellous thing to them is
the reports of chronic cases of eczema
that have been cured by this simple
skin food. People who have suffered
with scales, scabs and even bleeding
itching, have found relief and cure in

No matter where the eczema, pim-

whether on the face, hands, legs or

give quick relief and even the worst
