WHAT THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW

They must know the widespread
prevalence OF the venereal diseases;
the far-reaching havoc wrought by
them.
That they are infectious and COM
municable.
That gonorrhoea and syphilis often
remain in a latent state for years after
supposed cure.
That the cessation of the discharge
does not mea ma cure of gonorrhoea
nor does the disappearance of visible
symptoms mean the cure of syphilis.
They must know that they are fire.
quently carried into the home and
family after a supposed cure.
That in the female gonorrhoea has
such a wide range of manifestations
that there may be no indications what.
ever of disease, or there may be any
and every symptom of female trouble
up to the most severe and critical ill
ness.
That large part of so-called female
trouble Of married women is due to
gonorrheal infection from the old lat
ent cases in their husbands.
That thousands of good women die
or undergo serious mutilating opera
tons from the same cause.
That most of the persons who are
blind from infancy are victims of gon-
orrheal infection of the parents.
They must know that all syphilitics
are not horrible looking specimens
with sores and ulcers; that only for
a short period are there skin erup-
tions, and that superficial sores and
ulcers appear in but few cases; that
most syphilitics can mingle in any
crowd unnoticed; that there are thou
sands of these.
They must know that large percen-
tage of the inmates of the insane asy'
lums are there because of syphilis
That many diseased, defective and
deformed children pay the penalty for
their parents infections.
They must know that nature seldom
effects a cure of these diseases, but
that they can be cured by thorough
and persistent treatment.
That If not cured the penalty is
certain and the infection will most
likely be communicated to many others.
That every really cured case breaks
link in this chain Of infection and
lessons the danger to all.
That ninety-five per cent of all pros
titutes have one or both of these dis
eases.
That the female prostitute is the
source of infection; the male prosti-
tute is the carrier of the diseases.
That the Georgia State Board of
Health furnishes pamphlets ON these
diseases free for the asking.

tuberculosis PreVentabIe

If tuberculosis is preventable, why
then is 1t not prevented? Are the
thousands who are to die during the
coming year worth the saving? II we
knew that we should be among inc
number, should we not think It q ter
rible thing? If the treatment Is simply
hygiene, is 1t not strange that we are
not willing to live hygienically un.ll
after we have contracted the disease
If 100000 people die annually Oh
tuberculosis In the United States, ana
an equal number are cured of the dis
ease by sleeping and living in the
open air, why would 1t not have been
better for them to have lived ana
slept In the open air before they got
sick, and thus have avoided the dis
ease? If sleeping and living in the
open air is good for the sick, why
is it not good for the well? Is 1t not
better to stay we'll than to be cured
of tuberculosis?
If typhoid fever Is preventable, why
then is it not prevented? The pre-
vention of typhoid Is not matter OF
medical science any longer; 1t Is
only a question of public and per-
sonal sanitation. Why swallow the
germ at all, and if it must be swal'
lowed, why is it not killed first by
boiling or otherwise?
If smallpox is preventable, why then
is it not completely prevented? 1t is
only matter of universal vaccination
and is no longer a question of medical
science; it is one of personal suicide
if you die of smallpox.
If SYPHILIS and other venereal dis
eases are preventable, why then are
they not prevented. They are caused
by specific germs, and no one need
become infected with these germs un'
less they want to. The prevention OF
this class of diseases is no longer a
question of medical science; 1t Is one
of personal choice.
The Lord of creation has given man
dominion over the world and the full
ness thereof, which includes the choice
of good and evil, and incidentally the
means Of life and death.

FITS AND STARTS.

So often we see things done by "fits
and starts We see surveys made for
certain diseases and great hue and
cry for short time, then slowly the
dramatic endeavor dies, not because
the work was not needed; not because
reform was not necessary; not be-
cause fostering sore did not need a
severe enrichment; not because a dis
ease did not need curing and a cause
removed for ailing people, but the
enthusiasm just died and the great
movement slowly passes into the for
gotten.
have just been thinking that it was
not so many years ago when the whole
South, even America, was startled when
the hookworm was discovered and the
cause of much of the disability of our
people was brought to light. Surveys
were made, almost every county in the
State was visited, the heavily infected
areas thoroughly worked and much
remedial work done. The worm was
studied, it's mode Of entrance to the
body shown beyond all question, and
the remedies, simple and easy to ad-
minister, were given publicity; yet we
have not eliminated this one Of the
greatest drawbacks to the progress of
the South. Thousands of our people are
infected today; we have almost quit
talking about hookworm, comparatively
speaking, yet the problem is the same;
soil pollution still goes on, children still
go barefoot and have ground itch !;
many, very many, are "puny," anaemic
and poorly nourished, lazy and good
for nothing, when it is all due to- the
loss of blood from hookwor1n.
When one is i'll, not doing we'll, fee
BILE, poorly" and has that tired feel
ing" you had better send little
of the bowel movement to the State
Board Of Health and see if the trou-
BILE is not hookworm.
If you have been diagnosed as tu-
bercular and do not improve as you
should, you had better find out
If you are not feeding worms. The
diagnosis is easy; we furnish the prop
er container and your physician can
cure you, oh, SO quickly! Recently
new remedy has been discovered
for the cure of the hookworm; it is
almost harmless and your doctor car
put the bloom of health in salloW
cheeks and fat on your skinny form
with just a dose or so.

Uncommon
Sense S 5Sa7 BLAKE
LET'S NOT DESPAIR

TAKEN generally this world is
! about what may be expected of it,
considering the sort Of people who are
in it.
Mourning for the dead, dead days
Of long ago has sentimental value
but otherwise is pretty useless.
Man was not born to become per-
feet in hurry. He isn't perfect now,
even after. some millions of years Of
opportunity for development.
But he is more nearly perfect than
he was two thousand years ago, Or
for that matter, a hundred years ago.
In other words, he's progressing.
He isn't war-proOf yet. He hasn't
found any means of settling his big
gest quarrels except by taking up
arms.
But he doesn't burn witches any
longer and he accords his fellows
more right to their opinions than he
used to.
incidentally his morals are better
than they were in the time of Rome,
and he has done considerable TO auu
to his comforts and to his education.
We have better means of under
standing each other than we used to-.
We know what is going on in Sydney
and Nome and Tokyo, and can go to
the movies and see pictures of ele-
plants a pilin' teak in India. All
this makes for education, and as Fl.
G. Wells tells us, education eventual
ly means perfect civilization.
1t may not be the best-ef all posi-
BILE worlds, but it is the best world
that people now living have expert
enced. And we think it is getting
better.
Anyway, just because women wear
short skirts, and crowds go to prize
fights, let's not despair. We're I'M
proving, slowly but surely, and by and
by we can work out our own saliva
ton. And time like this, when there
is more going on than there ever fas
been before, is surely good time In
which to be living.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

Remember your failures are but
your stepping stones to success.
Fiction has q higher aim than fact
It is the possible when compared with
the merely positive.
An able man shows the spirit by
gentle words and resolute actions. He
Is neither hot nor tlmld.
Under all the false and overloaded
and glittering masquerade there Is in
every man q noble nature.
The art of using moderate abilities
to advantage often acquires more rep
utatlon than real brilllahcy.
The great end Of the modern, civ
llized war is to reach state Of peace
In the soonest possible time.
Every experience that we live
through will lead on to lower or a
higher experience, as we choose.
Do not weaken and distract yourself
looking forward to things you cannot
see and could not understand If YOU
saw.
You may. salute man and exchange
compliments daily yet know nothing OF
his character, his inmost tastes and
feelings.
Love labor, If you do not want 1t
for food you, may for physic. 1t is
wholesome for the body and good for
the mind.
If there is any one quality Of the
mind in which the really great have
conspired, as 1t were, to surpass other
men, 1t Is moral courage.
History is never hysterical, never
proceeds by catastrophes and cata
clysms, and it is only by remembering
this that we can comprehend its high
CIR meaning.
