FOR PUBLIC HEALTH

To Editor State Journal
The Public Health Nursing asSoci-
alton has something to say concern
( ing an article with the heading,
/ Cruel. Cold City
There is never any need for any
/ human creature to suffer (for even
single hour for want of medical at
/ tention in Topeka. for if ever city
was blessed, Topeka certainly is with
! it's splendid public spirited. ready and
/ willing doctors. a group of men who
have never been known to refuse a
case. day night, whether it was
! charity or not. The Public Health
/ Nursing association can not stand
quietly by and allow such an aSper
sion the doctors of this town with
out protest. The Public Health
/ Nursing association finds cooperation
with the medical profession and all
/ other recognized organizations of the
community one of the simplest things
in the world. There never has been
and never will be a case reported to
the Public Health Nursing association
which needs medical attention or
nursing service that will ever have to
go without it. Neither the so-called
welfare workers of this city any
one else, has any occasion to pay for
medical attention for a sick, needy
person, if they call upon the Public
Health Nursing association. The
welfare worker was in the Public
/ Health Nursing office about two weeks
ago and was told that she could at
any time have any case that came to
her attention taken care of by US. as
| far as medical and nursing and hos
pital service is concerned. But in
spite of this, exaggerated accounts of
the suffering of certain cases that we
have already had under our care, have
appeared in the papers recently. At
the time of the publication of an ar
ticle asking for clothing for an ex-
pectant mother, this case had already
been provided for, with medical care
bed clothing and a complete outfit for
the baby.
If there is necessity for city welfare
workers. then it is very necessary that
they cooperate with all charity and
philanthropic organizations. Wher-
ever nursing and medical attention
are needed, the Public Health Nurs-
ing association stands ready to take
care of every case reported. The
Public Health Nursing association in
this city has been a separate organi-
zation for two years. 1t is not char
/ ity institution, but a community en-
terprise, established for the good of
the city.

Pi7,pIes Disappear

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to clear away all pimpleS black
heads and skin eruptions and that
makes the skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch,
pimples, rashes, black heads in most
cases give way to zemo. Frequently,
minor blemishes disappear overnight.
Itching usually stops instantly. Zemo
is safe, clean, easy to use and depen-
dable. 1t costs only csc; an extra
large bottle, s1.00. 1t will not stain,
is not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
