QUACK ADVERTISING

In one OF our prominent neWSpa-
pers there appears an advertisement
that condemns vaccination against
smallpox and typhoid, starting off
with such headlines "Is It Possible
That Thinking, Scientific People
Would Do Such Thing and ending
by stating: IF any of these diseases
should get hold, chiropractic is the
surest and quickest way to get rid Of
it,"
This advertisement is so absurd
that the State Health Department
would not notice it If its attention
had not been called to it; further
more it attacks vaccination, which
the Florida State Board of Health
recommends as do other State boards
of health as we'll as the army and
navy.
Is it possible that chiropractor or
any one else of ordinary intelligence
believes that smallpox can be cured;
moreover, is it possible that any one,
even if small pox could be cured,
believes 1t better to have the disease
than to prevent the disease? Small
pox can be prevented and the pre-
vention is vaccination. The Florida
State Board of Health advises vacci
nation and furnishes vaccine free. It
is the duty of public health officials
to prevent epidemics if possible and
it is possible to prevent epidemics Of
small pox. Thinking people will not
be affected by quack advertisement
hut the unthinking and uneducated
may be. The State Board of Meath
is trying to bring home to the peo-
pie of this State certain educational
features that will be beneficial in the
way of preventing diseases by i'm
| proved sanitation and right living.
| Improvements in sanitation affect or
control the spread of certain dis
eases, but this does not apply direct
| ly to smallpox-hence vaccination is
advised.
] 1t has been asserted by eminent
authorities that Vaccinia (coN-poxl
confers more lasting and complete
immunity against smallpox than does

rate it represents the nearest ap-
proach to a perfect prophylaxls of

knowledge.
In the educational campaign of all
State and City Boards of Health. ii
should be recognized that the quack
advertisers, with their grotesque mis-
representations, are even as much a
menace to a community as is disease
itself. There is no subject upon
which the average man or woman is
so ignorant as that pertaining to
health and disease, so that with the
natural and Unborn yearning of the
human soul in distress for some spe-

LITTLE GIRL SKATING RUN
OVER BY AUTOMOBILE
ARCADIA News.)

Little Evelyn Steele was run over
Tuesday evening about s O'Clock III
front of Wey's drug store. The little
girl was skating across the street
when she noticed a big seven-pas-
senger car approaching. She became
confused, and tried to turn and run
back the way she had come, but as
she did SO her skates flew from un-
der her, and both wheels OF the Die
car passed over her body.
A soldier was driving with several
other soldiers and girl friends. They
stopped Immediately and got out
badly frightened, but were greatly
relieved to find that the little girl
was not killed. Although badly
bruised and skinned, she was un-
injured. This was very fortunate
and almost miraculous as the ma
chine was a heavy Studebaker tour
ing car. The little girl was rushed
to the Simmons sanatorium and put
under the care of a physician. The
doctor stated Wednesday morning
that she was getting along we'll and
could be moved to her home in day
or two.
Those who saw the accident say it
was unavoidable and that the driver
was not only driving slowly but did
all in his power to avoid striking the
child. Children are seen frequently
crossing the business streets on roll
er skates, and unless parents and the
city authorities put a stop to it Ar
cadia will witness tragedy.
The experience Of little Evelyn
should teach other boys and girls
lesson, and parents should see to It
that their children do noe go on the
business streets with their roller
skates.
