CenterS OF
Infection
By Brice Belden. NJ. ID.

BY Brice Belden. NJ. ID.
~ URING the last ten years. a
great number OF medical
writers have presented scien-
fc psoof OF the relationship OF what
are called focal infections to sys-
temic disease.
BY a focus Is meant the chief
center OF a morbid process. The
tonsils take first rank in this con
nection; then follow the teeth; next
( the sinuses (auXiliary chambers
communicating with the nasal pas
sagesJ, and finally the middle ear
Chat part OF the ear internal TO
the drum
The causative relation OF these
primary foci OF Infection TO consti-
tutional diseas is now established
beyond all doubt.
In order to cure patients, the pri-
mary focus or foci must be found
and eradicated. The whole body is
looked over by the conscientious
examiner. and what is obviously
pathological is corrected. The focus
is dealt with according TO it's loca-
ton. by wcll-known methods.
Among the diseases which have
been shown to result, sometimes
from focal infections somewhere in
the head. are appendicitis. ulcer OF
the stomach or other portion of the
digestive apparatus. neuritis. mus
cular and joint rheumatism, neur-
asthenia. boils. bronchitis. asthma.
Bright's disease, gall-bladder, dis
ease. shingles" heart disease, men
nights, pleurisy and pneumonia.
Certain inflammations of the eyelids
and also hives have been ascribed
to focal infections.
a great amount OF painstaking
work has been done to show that
the same germs may be found in
some remote organ which has be-
come diseased as in the head focus,
and many demonstrations Of this
sort are now a matter OF record and
familiar to medical practitioners.
DR.. Mayo, the great American sur
geon, regards disease as an infiam-
matory process from infection and
the efforts at repair. The infections.
he says, which produce the greatest
number OF disease enter the system
by way of the portals which we
have mentioned. Somewhere in this
line. he argues. are to be found the
sources of the germs which termi-
nate life in the majority of in
stances

the best white citizens of Glen

made it possible for us tohave a

We have continually urged the

First-because of the amicable

But to mention the first three
reasons without giving the
fourth, we cannot successfully
induce the best colOred people
to locate here. The Negro no
longer feels safe to continue in
total ignorance. If his job is
cooking, sewing, blowing Or Dor
ing a hole, he desires to do that
in a way to meet the demands of

What the good white people
have done to make it better for
US will inspire US and our gener-
alton to be true to our town, our
country our flag, and TO our God.
Now to the colored people of
Glenlnora let US learn to spend
