A DEATH THROUGH
VIOLENT POISON
Is Viewed With Horror By
General Public.
Eating Bi-Chloride Tablets
Cause Public Thrilless.
Spectacular Poison
Passes Unnoticed.

When we read that some one
has accidentally met death
through taking bi-chloride of
mercury tablets, or some other
violent poison, we are shocked
and deeply deplore the untimely
end of the victim. The most
widfelt prevalent form of poison
ing is that which is profession
ally termed Auto Intoxication,"
a designation which, unfortunate
ly, is not sufficiently comprehend
ed by people in general. Auto
is a Greek word meaning self,
toxic is poison and auto intoxica-
ftion plainly means self poison.
When a person Intentionally
takes violent into the system and
death results, it is common
suicide, but if they generate this
poison in their own body until
death ensues,it isjust negligence.
This is exactly what thousands
of people are doing today; run
ming their own little private
labratory for the production of
poisons with which to innoculate
their systems. Stomach trouble
leads to indigestion, which is in.
varibly followed by constipation,
A man or woman in this con.
dition should Immediately take
steps to put their stomach in
working order and clean out the
intestinal tract. Peplac, which

Murnps.

Mumps is generally considered
a sorry little disease and a joke
by everybody except the patient.
Health authorities, as a rule, pay
very little attention to it, because
its prevention usually costs more
n time, effort and money than
the ravages of the disease war
rant. But even at that, the dis
ease ranked fifth in the United
States navy in importance in
1915, and even now many of our
men in the training camps are
incapacitated as a result of a
"swell'' case of mumps.
Thus far no one has success
fully isolated the germ or specific
cause of mumps. 1t appears that
the infection is carried in the
secretion Of the mouth and nose
and that it is Catching" when a
victim of the disease coughs or
sneezes without using a handker-
chief for a muff1er or strainer,
causing others who have not had
the disease to inhale polluted
second hand air particularly in
closed rooms or poorly ventilated
schools, Offices, churches and
stores. To prevent infection as
in the case of most other infec-
tious diseases, all dis charges from
the mouth, nose and throat
should be carefully destroyed
and not scattered out on common
roller towels, drinking cups and
door knobs.
Mumps are usually character
lied by feverishness and a severe
swelling just below and in front
of one or both ears. Earing
chewing and talking sometimes
become difficult or very painful.
While very few fatalities result
from mumps it is very important
that the patient remain quietly
in bed during the height of the
disease. Working, walking, OF
even sitting up frequently cause
serious complications involving
: other glands. Ordinarily nc
medicine is required and if the
: bowels are kept freely opened
and hot or cold congresses ap
piled to the affected parts, thu
disease will run its course II
from one to two weeks.
