TOWNS HEALTH GENERALLY GOOD
Report for Past Year by DR. George ThompsonBut Taft
vile Had Epidemic of Measles Last Spring More At
tention to Reports Of tuberculosis is Recommended

In the annual reports OF the town OF
Norwich which have just been issued
In printed form by the selectmen is in
Guided the annual report of the town
health officer, DR.. George Thompson.
It Is as follows. for the year ending
Sept /, 1916: a
Measles: During the spring months
We were visited with quite an epidemic
of this disease, no less than lie cases
being reported, the greater number of
which were in Taftville The disease for
the most part was mild in its mani
festations and as is usual in mild epi-
denies of measles, it is probable that
there were many unreported cases.
tuberculosis: Only two cases of pull
monary tuberculosis were reported, and
both Of those were in the last stages
when the attention of the health officer
was called to them. very much de-
plore the negligence of attending ply
sicians in reporting these cases; it is
so fatal and SO contagious If not prop
erly cared for. ] can hardly believe
that these two cases were the only ones
occurring during the past year. While
the attending physician may give full
directions for their care when not SEM
TOT a sanitarium, yet the attention Of
the health officer would serve to en-
phasiZe the importance Of such care.
Scarlatina: Eight cases of scarlatins
were reported from different parts Of
the town during the year and at scat.
tered intervals. so that it did not APP
proach an epidemic. It was of much
milder type than that of the preceding
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1915-09-21

year, and do not recall fatal result
in any Of the cases reported.
Diphtheria: Five cases Of diphtheria
were reported, two of which were of
the croupous form, and all recovered.
cannot too strongly commend the
action of the state legislature in pro-
viding antitoxin for the treatment Of
'diphtheria, and am convinced that 1T
has resulted in averting many deaths
where its use would have been delay
ed otherwise.
Typhoid Fever: Only two cases of
of these came from another town after
one that could have contracted the
disease IN Norwich. The recent cpl
demic in the city of Norwich has not
extended to the outlying districts of
the town so far as I am aware.
Nuisances: Five nuisances were re-
ported and abated. It frequently hap
pens that the health officer is called to
abate a so-called nuisance which is
not legally nuisance. In such cases
although they may constitute an an
noyance, unpleasant to look upon, etc.
yet they are out of the province of the
health officer. Such cases sometimes
cause dissatisfaction and irritation and
require considerable tact to adjust.
Schools: So many of the school
buildings are in process Of renovation
that am unable to report upon them
at this time. They will all be in
spected before the opening of the
school year and any recommendation
made that are deemed proper.

RALLY DAY SOUNDS
A RINGING CHALLENGE
Earnest Sermon by Rev. G. n. strouse
| at First Baptist Church.

With his theme A Ringing Chal-
lenge, Rev. George H Strouse spoke
inspiringly on Sunday morning at the
Rally day service at the First Bap-
verses LIST Chron. 1885 and Matt. 9:37:
Who then offereth willingly to con-
secrate himself this day unto Jeho-
yah % Then saith he unto his d.
sciples, The harvest indeed is plen-
teous, but the laborers are few"
The first text referred to David's
invitation to the people of Israel to
tor said, is issued a challenge for a
bigger task than the building of a
temple to last a few centuries. Jesus
said: The harvest is great" There
is a great demand for laborers, and in
His name I challenge you to a world
wide task-the taking part in the
building up of everlasting kingdom.
The thing of primary Importance to
study in a Rally day service is the
standard around which we rally. First
let me define the word rally. 1t isn't
an explosion or a f1are-up. It means
reunite; to arrange in order. But some
have never yet united. Rally day
means for them to fall into line. The
church is a great recruiting sutton
for the King. On Rally-day we aim
to find and enlist recruits. We can
expect no response to this challenge
while. We need not a passive sym
pathy, but a positive cooperation.
We ask you to rally around a stand
ard which means fellowship with the
best men and women who ever lived
is a standard of purity, truth and hol-
mess, stands for Christs church and
certain victory.
The challenge is urgent, positive and
personal. Don't be a charity patient
| forever, using somebody else's time
Be a. helper and not one who always
needs help. =
The challenge comes from Christ
and should mean four things in 'oul
| lives today. It should arouse us, and
we should arise and attack. A good
enemy to attack is the deadly microbE
of indifference. Then advance, fol
Every day is a fresh beginning; every
morn is the world made new"

BEADED APPLIQUE FLOWERS
Employed in the Seasons Smart MILL
nery-VeIours Liked for Turbans-
Hats Quiet OF Elaborate. to Suit All
Tastes,

Cooler weather Monday revived in
terest in the question of fall and win
ter millinery, and there were increased
numbers in the stores, inspecting the
newest and most charming designs
fresh from the workrooms.
Noticeably handsome was a small,
close Bendle model in black panne, a
chic little turban, given distinction by
three elegant taupe plumes set high at
the back.
Gray plush was the material of a
quiet little toque, its trimming a band
and pin Of silver and a soft gray
wing.
i A taupe round turban had for trim
ming beaded applique flowers, a velvet
bird and ear of self-tone velvet
Effective was a blocked lowered silk
rolling sailor. faced in black, fitted on
TOP with Powered silk. This had a
black velvet fiange and a natty white
bead ornament.
Russian green velvet was developed
in large hat with shirred top brim.
The facing was of panne, in chamois
shade. There was smart twist OF
chamois velvet on the brin.
A desirable model for early fall wear
was a slashed turban in tete de Negro
velvet. This had a modish wing in
broad, effect at the back
The favored Belgian blue formed the
shirred top of large rolling sailor in
velvet. Flowers were appliQued around
the crown. For finish there was fiat
rosette of gold and black ribbon.
Velours in Belgian blue worked UP
well in g. rolling turban which had a
Georgette ribbon band and steel
buckle. A fancy blue wing adorned the
side.
No description of the rainty hats
offered for inspection just now can give
an adequate idea Of their smartness
and charming style.

while yet the modes are new and I'M

TREAT CATARRH BY
NATURES METHOD

+
Nearly. every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish 1t is TO try and
cure it with SPRAYS, lotions, and the
a.ssTemporary relief may be given,
but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have a
change Of climate; but now with a
simple preparation called Hyomei you
can carry a. health giving climate IN
your vest pocket, and by breathing It
a few minutes four times day sue
cessfully treat yourself.
Thetcomplete Hyomei outfit Is mex
pensiye and consists of an inhaler that
can sbe carried in the vest pocket, a
medicine dropper and a bottle or n.y.
omei The inhaler lasts a life time;
and, if one bottle does not, give per-
manent relief an extra bottle or Hy-
omei Gamble obtained at any time for
a trifiing sum. It is more economical
than all remedies advertised for the
cure Of scatarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature
in her method of treating diseases OF
the respiratory organs.
The Lee & Osgood Co. sold great
many Hyomei outfits and the more
they sell the more convinced they are
that they are perfectly safe in guar
anteeing to refund the money If Hyo-
mel does not relieve.
