SYMPTOMS!

Not one person in fifty knows accu-
rately the symptoms Of beginning con-
sumption. The doctor can detect some
things which the layman can not; but
the following signs anyone can notice.
The commonest symptom is a con-
tinual cough, either a few spasms of
coughing each day or little hacking
cough at intervals all day long. A
slight feverish condition between one
and seven o'clock in the afternoon,
generally about 4 o'clock, and some
times lasting only half hour, is an
other common sign. II a person has
both the cough and the fever the
trouble is almost surely tuberculosis,
especially II combined with a steady
loss of weight; q gradual loss Of ap-
petite; a feeling of being continually
tired or lack Of interest in life, or
night sweats, the other common signs
of beginning consumption. Any one
of these persisting for some weeks
should cause the person concern and
send him to the doctor. Don't delay. De-
lay is dangerous! Find out what ails
you! Everything can be gained and
nothing can be lost by knowing
whether or not your affiiction is tuber-
culosis.

MEDICINE!

Most Of us place all together too
much faith in medicine. OF all the
hundreds of known diseases, very few
can, in every instance, be cured by
any single kind of medicine. Some
times one person, suffering with a
given disease, will not be affected, or
may even be harmed by a medicine
which has been given with good effects
to another person. Most diseases are
the result of self-indulgence, or care
lessness, or ignorance, and nearly all
of the sure cures, where cures are pos
sible, are provided by nature. This is
especially. true in the case of con-
sumption. There are some few cases
that are benefited by medicine, but no
medicine can yield cure, or even a
considerable improvement, unless II
co-operates with the forces of nature
There are quantities of medicine sold
in the stores and advertised in every
conceivable way, as cures for tuber'
culosis. Most Of them actually injure
the person who takes them; because
most of them contain opiates or other
harmful drugs. Every one Of these
Consumption cures" is planned simply
to enrich the manufacturer at the ex
pense of the most helpless people in
the world. If your doctor is unable
to give you medicine to cure you, DOM
think you can pass the druggist sc
cents or $500, and cure yourself.

BATH TUBS!

Keep on friendly terms with your
bath tub. 1t is the business of the
skin to pass off to the surface of the
body some of the waste products. In
the process Of hard manual work or
violent exercises unusual large
amounts of waste products are made,
and the sweat carries them off with
greater rapidity. The action of the
breeze and the rubbing of the clothes
remove some of this waste, but it can
not be thoroughly done except with
water. A warm bath with the use of
a little soap once a week is the min
imum with which the skin can do its
best work. Baths can we'll be taken
more frequently, especially If one
takes a great deal Of exercise. Quick
baths in cold water without the use
of soap toughens the body and makes
one less liable to have colds. How.
ever, such baths do not give the skin
thorough cleansing, and ought not
to be taken by very delicate, sensitive
people except under the recommends
ton of a physician. Baths not only
cleanse the skin, but they also start
the blood to moving faster. 1t is
known also that they have a marked
effect on the nervous system. People
who are exceedingly nervous or in
sane can be more easily and surely
quieted by properly administered
baths than in any other way. Fol
continuous mental and physical health
a bath day is an excellent rule

VISITING NURSES!

A visiting nurse is trained nurse
with a special experience, supported
by the city, or county, or some char
table organization, who devotes her
time to visiting the sick, giving them
advice, and such assistance or service
as she can render in a short time. OF
course, visiting nurse is unable to
attend cases of such highly infectious
diseases as scarlet fever in the course
of her regular duties. She is under
the orders of the physician and is not
allowed to make diagnoses. One such
nurse can relieve a great deal of dis.
tress; but it is rather a harder task
to prevent disease than to cure it.
When, for instance, she goes to look
after one case of consumption in a
family, she watches the other mem.
bers of the household carefully in or.
others just coming down with the dis.
ease. She visits patients during the
period of convalescence to guard
against a relapse or the catching OF
some other disease. She educates the
families of her patients regarding
what to do for the patient and how to
take care of themselves so as to avoid
the same disease. There are at pres
ent few visiting nurses in Kentucky
Wouldn't you like to have one in your
community? Wouldn't it be worth a
little of your money every month fol
her support?

MEDICAL BOOKS!

Probably at some time or other, a
smooth book agent has tried to sell
you "a doctor book" Generally 1t is
a big, heavy volume, with the names
of physicians in distant cities on the
title page, and a big, heavy price set
on it. The agent will tell you that by
a little study of its pages, you can al
ways tell just what ails you, just what
medicines to get at the drug store, and
Just what doses to take. So you will
save all doctors bills. If you buy the
book, you put yourself among that
class of fools from whom the sharpers
of the world make a rich and easy
living.
The central record., 1913-08-22
DISINFECT!

When the doctor tells you to disin-
feet after the recovery or death of a
member of your household, do exactly
as he tells you. He knows what is
best, and you don't. For instance, you
may believe that burning a little sui
phur in the room will destroy the
germs; as a matter of fact, it will
probably not even kill the bedbugs.
Formaldehyde is by far the best disin-
fectant for most purposes. But formal
dehyde gas does not penetrate. Germs
lodged in mattresses, feather beds,
heavy bed clothing, books, carpets,
wall paper, and similar things are not
in the least affected. Everything in
the room should be opened up as much
as possible. Heavy blankets and SIM
liar things should be boiled for an
hour. Especially after consumption,
bedding, mattresses and upholstered
furniture ought to be burned. After
the fumigation, all the woodwork
should be carefully washed with hot
soapy water and then wiped off with
cloth wet with some disinfecting
solution. Then a room ought to be
left unoccupied for a couple of days
if possible, with the windows wide
open; for, after all, sunlight and fresh
air are the best disinfectants.

DIAGNOSIS!

II you suspect that you have con-
sumption go at once to your physician
to be diagnosed. Don't delay! Every
day lost decreases the chance of cure.
And go to the best physician. Even
the best physicians can not immedi-
ately distinguish tuberculosis in its
first stages from other troubles. Ex-
pect your physician to take a sample
of your spit, which can be examined
free of charge in the laboratory of the
State Board of Health. If germs Of
tuberculosis are found, that is abso-
lutte proof that the disease is present,
even though you can see no outward
signs of its inrOads. II they are not
found, you may nevertheless have tu.
berculosis; in the early stages of the
disease more often than not the germs
will not be found in the sputum. Ex-
pect your physician also to make a
careful physical examination of the
trunk Of your body from the waist line
to the neck. 1t will take him a full
half hour to do 1t thoroughly and, if
he requests 1t, the patient must be
stripped to the waist line.

AS Uncle Bill came out of the post
Office with a letter in his hand, the
discussion of the tariff lulled, and one
of the men yelled. "UncIe Bill'
The old mans face wrinkled into a
smile as he held up his hand and said,
Hold on, hold on, know what you
want to ask. You see this letter, it's
got just the answer you want, I'll bet

envelope, adjusted his silver-rimmed
spectacles and continued, "You recol-
lect that about week or ten days ago
all of US here at the store was talking
about State Aid for road building.
Some of you fellows asked whole lot
of questions. One of 'em was, what
some of the roads in this state cost

Have you got the figures?"
"Yep, just went home and wrote
up to Frankfort and got 'em straight.
Say, there're more of 'em and they're
bigger than | thought they was. I'm
going to read 'em out. if you want
'em?"
Sure we do and the group drew
closer about Uncle Bill as he seated
himself cautiously on a nail keg.
"Well, find that way back in 1921
Kentucky gave 1000 to improve the
grade over Muldrow's Hill. That was
part of the Lexington to Nashville
road. But later when the people be-
gan to build sure enough good maca-
dam roads, the State put the money
up in big chunks. When they built
the road from Lexington to Frankfort,
she gave S78. 122. That was q miles
of road. Then here are the other
