Dr.. +. T.. Bullock opened the as
scmbly programs for the year, We'd
ncsday, Sept. 10. by giving US talk
on "rhe Prevention of Contagious Dis
eases" The doctor discussed differ
ent kinds OF contagious diseases and
their method Of attack upon the body.
Three common methods, through which
germs, which cause contagious ais
eases, gain entrance Ia the body are
by incubation OF contact, through
the nose o. mouth, by breathing, or.
with food or drink, and by the bite OF
insects. Influenza and similar diseases
are obtained by breathing the germs
into the body; typhoid fever germs
are taken into the body through the
mouth in food or water, while typhus
fever IL spread by the body louise. All
insects Of this kind should be avoided.
We hope that series of talks may
be arranged whereby We may be in
formed about IA number of diseases.
