The policeman had to climb up ln'o

PREVENTION OF MENINGITIS.

Winthrop News. . =
At winthrop chapel exercises on
Monday of this week President john
son asked Miss Belle ]. Allen, Resi-
uent Physician of the college, to tain
to the student body on the subject @!
prevention of meningitis. According
Is Doctor Allen reai statements
from the public health reports of the
United States public health service
and made comments on each fact set
forth. Following are given both the
statements and comments:
81. The germ which causes epi-
demic cerebro-spinal meningitis has
been found only in the human body "
4Unl:ke the parasite that causes
malaria and spends part of its life
cycle in the mosquito, or the plague
germ which passes from the raj
through the flea to man. this germ
is found only in the. human body.
Therefore. here in sheltered Winthrop
we do not have to protect ourselves
from fleas or rats We are as safe
as We could be anywhere from this
disease. because there are no humans
afflicted with meningitis in Rock Hill.
But. we must remember that:
"2. Healthy persons may carry the
germ in their nose and throat with
out developing the disease. Such per
sons are known as carriers. There
are about ten carriers to every case
of meningitis in an infected locality" :"
"And for this reason it is wise to
defer travelling on the trains, be-
cause carriers may not be easily dis
covered, and persons taking the dis
ease might be encountered"
"3. The measures for lessen1ng the
spread of the germs of this disease
are as follows:
"(a) The nose and throat should
be kept clean. For this purpose
cleansing sprays may be used.
"(b> Careful attention to persona
vhgiene, mainly cleanliness. Avoid
chilling of the body and other de-
pressing influences. Dress to mee'
the change5in weather"
BE diligent about cleanliness, botn
of the clothing and the body. Es-
pscially guard against getting chilled
in the transition period from winte!
to spring. If you feel chilly slip Oh
VOW coator wrap"
"(c) Avoid close contact witt
persons. Healthy persons who ar>
carriers may innocently transmit
the germs. which NAV ne in thel!

ing. kissing talking. etc
