such places it is likely to spread like

Apparently the gorilla has been

of his ferocity must have been all wrong
for now We are told on what seems TO

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mad Dogs And Rabies

B. R. asks: rs it true that rabies
or hydrophobia is spread only by dogs
or do other animals contract it? Some
one says that bites about the head and
face are more dangerous than else
where. Is there any other way to con-
tract the disease than from the bite of
a mad ANIMAL
Answer The statement that rabies
is spread only by dogs is not correct.
The disease may be spread by a num-
Der of other biting animals. including
especially wolves in regions where they
abound. The worst cases seen by the
great Pasteur when he first began to
apply the specific preventive method in
rabies were those in men sent to Paris
from Russia, where they had been bit
ten by wolves.
Worms
l. B. writes: Il. Just how can it be
told if person is afflicted with worms
2. What are the cures and how are
they administered
Answer: l. There are no symptoms
absolutely characteristic of the pres
ence of intestinal worms. Persons may
have worms without showing any symp-
toms. On the other hand. severe mani
festations may result. This depends on
the species and the number of worms
present, their location. and the age and
general condition of the patient.
A positive diagnosis can only be made
by the discovery of worm, or seq
ments of it, or by the finding of eggs on
microscopic examination. The latter
procedure should always be done by
someone trained in the method of study
and examination.
z. Treatment varies with the species
Of intestinal parasite present. Worm
remedies. in general are poisonous. In
asmuch as the treatment depends on
poisoning the parasite without serious
ly poisoning the host, it should be d-
rected by competent physician.

wise me whether or not the use of hair
dye is injurious to the general
health? / have been informed by hair
dressers and others that it has been
known to cause headache and other
serious illness and should like some ex-
pert advice on the subject"
Answer: Under most circumstances
the use of hair dye has no effect on the
general health. Some dyes, particularly
brown dyes containing parapheny-
lendiamin or quinone. used on the hair

Answer: There is no known method
by which the color of the hair can be

would therefore be impossible to change

In these busy times men have come
to realize that it is good business to
keep healthful. The loss of time from
disease, the loss of efficiency due to
poor working conditions or fatigue, and
the actual loss of human working units
may be measured in terms of dollars and
cents. Therefore, all large employers
of the state of their health, such as
borers interested in the welfare of their
members give special attention now
adays to these problems. In many
states, as well as in the federal gov
bureaus that are especially concerned
with the care of the physical health
Of the industrial workers
As pointed out by DIR. Emery r.
Hayhurst, the waste of human material
through i'll health and death results
from four definite causes.
The men have no actual knowledge
o fthe state of their health, such as
can be had from a proper physical ex-
animation. While some men re in
different to the rules of personal n.y.
giene, others have no knowledge of
such laws. Certain industries are as.
ISOLATED with definite hazards to
health which must be sought otu and
eliminated and these are not only
such menaces as lead to accident, but
processes or the use of substances that
lead to disease. Finally, many work
ers may be improvident and be unpre-
pared to take care of themselves when
disease or accident occurs, and many
states make no provision to aid the
worker when he is confronted by such
a. dilemma.
1t therefore follows that the indus
trial worker. as well as others, ought
to arrange for regular physical exami-
nations to detect the beginnings of dis
ease while there is still chance to cure
easily. He ought also to observe the
simple rules of hygiene.
DR.. Hayhurst has carefully outlined
10 rules which are presented here
somewhat elaborated:
is Rules For Personal Health
l. Ventilate properly every room you
occupy. The best air is fresh, outdoor
air. An open window with proper pro-
lection against drafts will provide sat
isfactory ventilati
2. Wear lightweight. loose and porous
clothing. Give the skin a chance. If
the temperature is too warm less cloth
ing may be worn. An air bath to the
skin in invigorating and exposure to
sunlight is healthful
3. Men were not house animals orig
inally. A certain amount of time out
of doors every day is necessary for
health.
4. Dissipation for recreation is not
rest.
