Patent Medicines

One of the strange facts that we are
at loss to account for is the thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars that
are spent by our people for what is
ordinarily called patent medicine"
The miracle producing remedies that
are constantly kept before the public
in every way possible to attract the
attention of a sick and suffering pub
lie. How long such methods can and
will thrive among people who are
supposed to be intelligent and
ordinarily possessed Of good COM
mon sense and judgment we are un-
able to say.
If you are sick you need a physician
and not an advertised remedy. II you
need attention for any i'll, even the
slightest, you need intelligent advice,
individual advice. If you are not sick
you need to save your money against
the day when you are. and will need
attention. We believe in preventative
medicine, and with the right kind OF
sanitation, regular hours, proper diet
and exercise, you will not have that
feeling that causes you to rush to
drug store and buy some body's "cure'
all"
We could mention many different
kinds of these nostrums but as a class
those recommended for the cure OF the
VenereaI Diseases are perhaps the
most dangerous. They never cure
They perhaps lull you to believe that
you arp cured and at later day you
will awake to the realization of the
fact that you were not, and that it is
then too late, that you will likely never
be we'll.
The Georgia State Board of Health
advises our people to discontinue the
use of all so-called patent medicines
of every kind Consult your physician.

One Third Of Men Not Fit

The great world war has brought
home to us many lessons, and opened
our eyes to many problems never seri-
ously considered but dnder the light of
the present day that loom large in
our future work-nOne perhaps more
forcefully than public health.
. The draft boards Of our state found
one-third of our young men unfit for
military service. This is deplorable
condition. We must as citizens awake
to the full realization Of this and bend
our every energy to have our coming
men and women cleaner, more fit, and
as perfect as we can make them.
Venereal Disease has done its work
among our people. The reports show
that 2,4O3 cases of syphilis and gonor-
rhoea have been reported in the past
two months. Only 1904 of all other
communicable diseases were reported
in the same time, excluding only inf1u-
enza, of which we had over six thou
sand, This is one phase of reform
that we must get busy with Will you
not give this serious consideration.
and help US in the warfare against We
nereal Diseases?

| assume that he will not accept it
unless he returns to the Clerk the
funds which he has received from the
Clerk during the year. / do not
know what amount he has received
from the court in this county this
year, but it is probably not very
much in as much as we have not had
any extensive criminal court. We
have had three days Of criminal court
during the present month, but they
were largely consumed with the
Campbell cases.
The former Solicitor G eneral in
forms me that in normal times the
fees to the Solicitor General have ex-
ceeded the amount that the county
would pay him for salary. This, of
course, is no reason why the law
should not be enforced, but it indi-
Gates that the profit should be on the
side of paying the salary. We have
got an Act of the Legislature and as
long as it stands on the books as
valid law, it is the duty of those
charged with enforcement of the laws
to insist upon its enforcement.

INFECTIOUS AND
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
MUST Be REPORTED

On JAN LIST, 1919, the department
of Epidemiology was established by
the Georgia State Board of Health.
This department Immediately put in
to operation, the quarantine laws of the
State. These laws are inoperable eX-
cept the physicians report prevalence
of these diseases in their practice. The
laws of 1908 Creating the State
Board of HEALTH, Sec. 5, which says:
BE it further enacted that it shall
be the duty of the local boards OF
health, and Of physicians in localities
where there are no health authorities
to report to the State Board of Health
promptly upon the discovery thereof,
the existence of any of the following
diseases, to-wit: asiatic cholera, vel
low fever, smallpox, typhus or typhoid
fever, diphtheria and of such other
contagious and infectious diseases as
the State Board of Health from time
to time may specify" was put into
effect.
Several diseases have been added to
the foregoing list. The following is a
complete list and declared to be COM
municable and are hereby required to
be reported to the State Board of
Health. The figures opposite represent
the number reported Sunday. Ian, list:

FOUND IN MORE
BRUSHES; PUBLIC WARNED

After an extensive examination of
shaving brushes confiscated' by the
State Board of Health following the de-
elopment of a case of anthrax at Camp
Gordon, anthrax spores were found in
other brushes purchased in the open
market.
DR.. Abercrombie on Tuesday stated
that the discovery Of these spores in
additional brushes other than the one
used by the patient who became in
fected increased the danger to the pub
lie in the use of cheap brushes. In
issuing this second warning to the peo-
ple of the state against the use OF
cheap brushes, he further states that
there is always danger from the use
of such brushes.

Great Need Of Health
Organization In Georgia

AS the years pass, thousands of
human lives are absolutely wasted be-
cause of the lack of control of pre-
ventable diseases To punish this eX-
trayagance of human lives as well as
human health and money, it is neces-
sary to institute a campaign that will
not only reach each county, city and
community in the state, but each indi-
vidual as we'll
There never was a day when full
mand as they are today. Men are
awakened more than ever as to the
great needs of their communities as
regards public health measures. Coun-
ties are adopting the ELLIS Health
Law" faster than we can get trained
sanitarians to fill these places.
The adoption of this law by the vari-
Gus counties is one of the wisest steps
that can be taken. The first grand
jury to meet in one of our newest coun-
ties, recommended the adoption Of this
measure.
Why so important? 1t is next to
impossible to administer typhoid vac
cine extensively, without a public
health organization. 1t is not practi-
cal to inforce our Venereal Law with
out this health department. 1t is al
most impossible to have any system
of school inspection without this or
ganization. 1t is difficult to do any
thing toward eradicating malaria, ty-
phoid fever, hookworm, dysentery,
small pox and many other contagious
diseases until two successive grand
juries have adopted this law.
The State Board of Health therefore
urges each county to take this step in
the interest of humanity.

SWEET POTATOES MAY
Be Treated FOR ROT
Losses May Be Lessened BY Single
Methods.

Between four and five million bush
els Of sweet potatoes were lost IN
Georgia last year from potato dis
eases, and the astounding fact is that
these diseases may be controlled by
simple and inexpensive methods.
Some of the diseases attack the
sweet potato before harvesting ana
others while it is in storage. The
latter class is known as 'moulds' and
II proves very destructive to 1000
stuffs generally The most common
diseases of the sweet potato are
black rot, scurf, soft rot and blue
mould.
Practically all of the diseases may
be controlled by three very simple
methods-crop rotation, seed selec-
ton and seed treatment. Black rot
and scurf may be carried over in the
soil from a previous years crop OF
potatoes or they may be introduced
on diseased manure or diseased slips,
hence the advisability Of having
new seed bed every year and planting
some other crop or crops in rotation
with the sweet potato which are not
affected by the same diseases.
Planting potatoes should be select
ed from disease-free hills. Just be-
fore bedding the seed potatoes should
be treated to destroy rot spores on
the surface. For seed treatment one
ounce of Bichloride of mercury Is dis
solved in eight gallons OF water by
suspending the crystals In loose
sack Just below the surface or the
water. Never use metal conta1ner
for the bichloride solution but wood
en- tub or barrel. The potatoes are
placed in loosely woven sacks and
dipped into the solution for not less
than ten minutes or more than TWEEN
ty. The potatoes are then removed
from the liquid and bedded ae once

SOLICITOR SALARY LAW
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED

out and that it was his business to
make a report to you in compliance
with the term of the Act and pay over
to the Treasurer such monies as had
been collected since January 1st for
the account of the Solicitor General.
He informed ME that he had already
paid over to the SOLICITOR General all
monies that had been collected for
him since January LIST that he had re-
ceived.
If you see fit to put the Act into
operation, the first thing to do is to
call on him formally for a compli-
ance with his duties under the Act.
II he fails to comply, then your rem
edy would be mandamus against
him to compel him to comply The
duty is on him to pay to the County
Treasurer and not on the Solicitor

General for the first quarters salary

to occur in his practice should report
same to city health officer IL the, pa
tent lives in a city or town having
such an official, or to the county health
officer, if the county has such an Off
Ger, otherwise to the State Board Of
Health.
Franked cards are furnished by the
State Board of Health for such re-
ports, so that it cost the physicians
nothing, so far as postage Is concern
ed, to make these reports. On jan
uary 10th, the physicians were notified
that this law had gone into effect and
that 1t became their duty to make
prompt returns on the prevalence OF
these diseases in their practices.
Only one report Of each case is
required, and this is to be forwarded
on the day the case is diagnosed. This
REQUIRES not more than two minutes
of the physicians time, and a large
number of our doctors have been very
diligent in making these reports. For
this we are greatly indebted to these
gentlemen, and the communities where
these physicians practice can congratu-
late themselves on having as their ply
sicians. doctors who have the welfare
of the people generally at heart.
But what can we say of the family
physician, who occupies position OF
trust and confidence in the hearts and
lives of their patients, and yet fails TO
keen faith with the laws of his state,
certainly there are but few physicians
in Georgia who would willfully violate
such a law, especially since we have
made it so easy and inexpensive to
comply with it's requirements.
Everyone of course can see the WIS.,
dom of such legislation, since without
such reports the State Board of Health
cannot take the necessary steps to
prevent or suppress the spread of these
conditions.
Could one imagine this department
trying to prevent an epidemic OF scar
let fever, unless its presence in the
community was made known? How
would it be possible to quarantine
case of diphtheria, yellow fever or
case of social disease unless we know
of it's existence? How can we know
what sections of our state are infested
with malaria unless the physicians ID
these sections send us that informa'
ton.
During certain seasons Of the year,
typhoid fever and the diseases eS
pecially Characteristic of children are
markedly prevalent How can we
know just what months these are un,
less we are informed by the medical
profession. And how are we to de-
ternine why they are more prevalent
during any particular season, unless
we know that they really do occur
during this or that season.

WOUNDED JOURNAL MAN
is BACK IN AMERICA

We have a letter this week from
Judson Stanley, one of the Marietta
Journal boys, who was wounded in
France last October, stating that he
is back in the "good old United
States" once more, and hopes soon to
get furlough and come south.
Mr.. Stanley is in the Naval hospital
at Portsmouth, Va, not yet having
fully recovered from two shell wounds
which he received in the Champagne
drive, after having safely gone
through the St. Mehiel fighting.
He left Marietta last May, enlisting
in the Marines, and got to France in
August, and was soon in the fighting.
He was wounded on the 3rd of Octo-
Der by a high explosive shell and one
fragment he still carries with him, al
though he has had several X-ray ex-
aminations in trying to locate the
piece of shell. He is still only able
to get about on crutches, but is as
sured of complete recovery.
He is anxious to see his old friends
in Marietta again, and they will be
delighted to know that he is coming
soon.
This office furnished number of
men to Uncle Sans army and navy,
but Mr.. Stanley is the only one who
comes back with wound stripe on
his sleeve, and he will be accorded
most hearty welcome in this office.

A GREAT ECONOMY Be-
CAUSE Of EXTRA WEAR

after a trip to Kilauea, the active
volcano of Hawaii, my Ne6lin-soled
shoes were the only ones not abso-
lutely ruined. Many in our party
wore hob-nailed boots, said Miss Jean
P. Lane of Seattle, Washington.
The sharp jagged lava OF kilauea
cuts an ordinary sole to pieces quickly.
That Ne0lin Soles stood the test but
emphasizes their toughness and dur
ability. These qualities are built into
them by a scientific process. Women
and men and children, too-who are
hard On shoes should buy them with
Nc0l;n Soles. They come in many
styles, and because Of the extra wear
they give, are great economy.
And any repairman will re-sole your
worn shoes with Neolin SoleS, which
are flexible and waterproof as well as
long-wearing. They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron.

guaranteed to outwear all other heels.
