Union County To Tell
HoW To Stop Typhoid

work in Union county is expected to
stimulate interest in other sections Of
the state, and arouse the people to the
necessity of conducting a similar cam
paign in their communities.
The people of Union county are TAX
ing very great interest in the cam
paign. The health authorities believe
that this interest and cooperation
will prove of great benefit to the peo-
pie of the county, as 1t will not only
be the means of preventing sickness,
death, sorrow and suffering, but will
result in advertising Union county in
a commercial way, for what Is now be-
ing accomplished there will be the
theme for many articles and speeches
all over the country, being used as an
illustration of what intelligent effort
will do.
DR.. Lumsden will divide his time be-
tween Union county and the other
demonstration communities. The
house-to-house campaign will last about
five weeks, and when that is finished
two men will be left in the county to
do "follow-up" work, continuing this
until November.

of patient suffering from cretinism
disease characterized by physical

been announced at the Academy OF
Medicine by DR.. Veronoff, we'll
known surgeon.
The patient, child of fourteen
years, was attacked by myolodona at
the age of s, as an after effect of scar
let fever. His physical and intellectual
growth stopped. Six months ago, DR..
Voronoff, in the presence of nineteen
doctors, grated on the child's neck
the right lobe of the thyroid gland of
a large baboon.
Almost Immediately the patient be-
gan to improve and marked develop
ment took place in body and mind.
While formerly the patient was apa-
thetic and stupid, he became active
and quick-witted.
Members Of the academy consider
