FIVE FILTHY FINGERS

Did you ever make a diary of your
fingers? Did you ever set down in
cold black and white the things your
fingers touch every day and did you
ever consider the number of times
daily that your unwashed fingers seek
your mouth?
When surgeons discover that it was
their own infected fingers which car
ried germs into wounds they set about
trying to discover a means whereby
their hands could be rendered sur
gically clean, e., free from germs.
The whole realm of chemistry was
ransacked for agents which would
disinfect hands, and the scrubbings
and immersions to which they subject
ed their hands are even yet tender
memory to the surgeons of that per-
iod. But all of these efforts proved
useless and at last in despair sur
which could be boiled, thus brinOing
to each patient, as it were, fresh pair
of sterile hands. In other words, try
as you will you can't by any known
method make your hands absolutely
clean.
The treat agent in the spread of
those diseases whose causative organ
ism is present in the secretions of the
mouth and nose, is the human hand;
and if salive was bright green we
would be amazed at the color of the
! fingers. AS matter of fact most
of US carryeour fingers to our mouth
or nose many times daily, there to
implant the germs of disease which
other careless people have spread
about there to collect a fresh cargo
of infectious material to scatter fol
somebody else.
1t is true that most germs of dis.
ease die quickly once they leave the
human body but what does the death
of few billion germs matter so long
as the supply is copious and never
ending.
What an enormous number of in
fected things we touch during the
day and how infrequent and cursor,
are the hand washings we perform
The answer is to keep your fingers
out of your mouth and nose. Thu
we limit the spread of disease from
these orifices at least, thus we elm
mate the danger of contracting dis
ease from someone else who was no
quite so careful.
