CITY HEALTH OFFICERS
MONTHLY REPORT
Ocala. Fla, Aug. l, 1914.


To the Council, City of Ocala:
1 respectfully submit the follow
ing report for the month of July,
1914:
First. l wish TO thank you for the
leave of absence granted me last
month. This trip should be produc-
tive Of good to the city as we'll as TO
myself. as l made the acquaintance
of many men prominent in public
health work, and learned methods
that will be of benefit to US in the
conduct of our health department
here,
l also want to congratulate you
l. on the health ordinances just passed.
There are few cities the size of this
| one that have similar laws, l intend
to do my best to enforce them. Or
lando is organizing a department of
health and applied to Jacksonville
for information, they referred them
to the City of Ocala as having the
best health department of any city
1.-THE size OF Uh1S one.
Under the new ordinance the city
Iclerk is now reporting births and
deaths to the state board of health.
We can thus compare our birth and
death rate, and sickness with other
lcities and states, and refute the idea
so long prevalent that Florida is an
unhealthfuf place in which to live.
We are making a strenuous effort
to prevent children with whooping
cough and other contagious diseases
from attending public gatherings,
our new ordinance giving us this
power.
} Mr.. Cleveland is working to get
rid of uncovered rain barrels, which
in certain neighborhoods are un
ldoubtedly the cause of so many mos
quitoes..
There are now eleven markets il
the city. l graded them all GooC

Modern Housekeeping.

Milady sings at her work The
portable vacuum cleaner - Milford
keeps up with all the latest improve
ments-gratefully eats up its daily
dust The fireless cooker prepares the
meals with a perfection and deli
ciousness unrealized in the old days.
A bas mother and the way she used
to cook! But in serving these meals
of a hitherto unrealized PERFECTION
and deliciousness Milford and milady
must needs chase each other between
kitchen and dining room. The guest
at dinner, if he is luckily accustomed
to picnics, carries his own plate and
washes it afterward. / have myself
entertained many a guest In this
fashion, and he has carried his own
plate, and, being that kind Of a guest
or l wouldn't have invited him, he
has cheerfully helped wash the dishes,
wearing a borrowed apron. But it
would be absurd to claim that this
performance, indefinitely repeated,
is an improvement upon an orderly,
efficiently served dinner party. Con
versation at dinner is more desirable
than a foot-race between the courses;
nor do l believe that life under such
conditions can possibly become sc
alluring that one day the great ma
| jority of us will choose it first OF all.

Important Discovery in War Against
White Plague May Have Been
Made by the OsteOpaths

Philadelphia. Aug. 5.-The most
important step undertaken for the
CONQUEST Of the white plague was
announced today Al the eighteenth
annual convention Of the American
OsreoDathic Association al the Belle
vue-Stratford. Dr.. Louisa Burns,
director OF clinics at the Pacific Col
Iege of Osteapathy, Los Angeles,
gave the first news OF the discovery.
She declared that she and her CO.
workers have found out how to-rec-
ognize the disease before it mani
tests itself by any of the symptoms
heretofore known This makes it
possible to take steps early enough
to cure every case, as it is we'll
known that the disease can always
be cured if treatment is begun early
enough and that failure is merely
the result of a postponed diagnosis.
This newly discovered diagnosis
as announced by DR.. Burns is merely
the recognition that an examination
of the blood pressure of apparently
we'll people discloses the presence OF
absence of incipient tuberculosis
DR.. Burns said in part:
This report is-sbased upon &
| study of the blood pressure of more
than 1900 persons, including abou'
| 5000 patients examined in the clinic;
of the Pacific College of Osteopathy
and about 800 normal persons o
varying ages and habits. From thret
to twenty or more different test
| were made for each person. Th'
| lowest blood pressure recorded wa
45 and the highest, that of a man q
| years old with arterio-sclersis, 2S5
II These studies indicate b.
means of watching the blood pres
sure, tuberculosis may be recognize
at a very early time-before othe
symptoms appear. Changes in bloc
pressure may cause symptoms of in
: durable diseases and these symptom
may be easily and quickly relieve
by the osteopathic measures for low
ering or raising the blod pressure.
