"FAGGEO-OUT" WOMEN
Will Find Helpful Suggestion In
 This Letter.

Overlooked, run down Tagged out' women who feel as though they could hardly drag about, should pro- fit by Mrs. Carter's experience. She says:-"I am the mother of six chil- dren and I got so weak and run down that l couldn't eat anything and it seemed almost impossible for me to get around and do my work. I tried different doctors remedies with out benefit. I saw Vinol adver- tised and decided to try it, and re- ceived so much benefit from the first bottle that I continued to take it, and it has built up my strength and made me strong and we'll. l consider Vinol the best medicine I have ever taken, and advise all weak, run down women to try it.

terviewed 8 large number of prom Health Commissioner Haven Emerson a summary of their advice. The lat ter put his official O. K. on the fol- lowing treatment:
 Take a cathartic.
 Then take a brief hot bath to warm up the body and start the blood running freely.
 Drink a large bowl of hot lemon- ade and go to bed early. Cover ones self thoroughly and warmly even to an extra pillow to protect the head and ears, and get nine hours sleep.
 Take the greatest care, by dressing warmly, not to catch cold in the morn ing.
 "If the trouble seems to be chiefly in the throat, wrap the neck in wet woolen cloth covered by dry woolen cloth"
 The official qualified his recommen- dation as far as the hot bath part of the treatment is concerned, saying that none should do this unless they were very sure that they would be able to keep themselves perfectly warm during the night and the morn ing afterward.
 "But the hot lemonade, the cathar- tic and the warm sleep stand as off, cial preventive for the dread disease which is adding from 10 per cent to 40 per cent. of the weekly death records in many parts of the coun- try"

REDUCE TYPHOID IN
 RURAL COMMUNITIES
Surgeon Generals Report Tells of
 Visits by Health Officer to 16,-
369 Homes During Year.

369 Homes During Year.
 Washington, Jan. 21-Reduction in typhoid fever and improvement in sanitary conditions have followed the intensive investigations of rural com munities carried on by the United States Public Health Service in CO., operation with local and State health officers, according to the annual re- port of the Surgeon General of that service. During the past fiscal year 16,369 rural homes in eight different states were visited and many of them revisited. In each of these homes information was obtained as to the prevalence of disease and lnsanltary conditions and a complete sanitary survey of the premises conducted This was followed by reinspections to determine if remedial measures had been instituted. In but relatively small percentage of the cases did the persons concerned, after having their attention drawn to the danger of particular unhygienic condition, fail to inaugurate corrective measures. Stimulus was given to the work by means of public lectures, the forma- tion of active sanitary organizations, and the enlisting of all public spirit ed citizens in the campaigns for re- form. Public buildings were also in spected and local authorities given expert advice in solving such sani tary problems as the disposal of ex- creta, the prevention of soil pollu- tlon, and the maintenance of pure water supplies.
 T1on n 1914 had shown that in rural com- munities less than one per cent. of the homes had sanitary toilets and that more than fifty per cent. of the people were using water from pollut- ed sources. This condition, accord ing to the Public Health Servicc, made the rural sanitation question loom large among the matters vltallE affecting the welfare of the nation. Following these studies and as re" suit of the interest aroused, the ty- phOld fever rate, an excellent lndl- cator of the sanitary status Of community, has in some places Ire quently been cut to Onequarter or us previous figure. In Berkeley county, West Virginia, the cases of typholu fever were reduced from 249 to 40 in one year. In Orange county, North Carolina, the rural sanitation campaign resulted in reduction of the cases from 59 to 17.
 The tangible results of operations in rural sanitation indicate that marked advancement in maintaining hygienic and satisfactory surround ings in country districts is possible by the application of the common principles of preventive medicine h. sanitary conditions exist largely be- cause they are not known to be such. Actual demonstrations of their harmfulness, together with defi- mite recommendations for their cor rection, remain one of the most grat- flying and successful methods for in. stituting reforms and has been, in the experience of the Public Health Service, invariably accompanied by definite and measurable results.
