DIPHTHERIA IN OUR
CITIES

THE amount Of typhoid fever in any
a large American city has come to
be recognized as an indication of that
city's standing. A modern, up-to-date.
progressive city does not give its citi-
zens dirty water or dirty milk to drink.
It does not allow the typhoid fly" to
carry death to its people and especial
ly to its children. So low typhoid
rate for any city generally means a
good city government, while a high ty-
phoId rate indicates weak, ineffec-
tive and often corrupt administration.
In the same way, the amount OF
diphtheria In any city is measure of
the care given the city's children.
Diphtheria, like typhoid, Is now an en-
tirely preventable disease. We know
what causes it, how it is carried from
the sick child to the we'll, how it can
be prevented. Not only that, but in
antitoxin we have remedy that will
positively cure any case of diphtherla,
If given early enough and in sufficient
amount. In the Schick test, we have
positive way of separating the chill
dren who are immune and need no
treatment, from those who are suscep-
tible and sure to take 1t II exposed,
while toxin-antitOxin will protect any
susceptible child from danger Of infec-
ton.
In word, we know more about
diphtheria and can do more to pre-
vent 1t than any other human disease.
II the people and the local health off,
GERS could get together, there IL no
reason why single American child
should die of diphtherla.
The amount Of diphtherIa last year
In all cities Of the United States over
100000 population is shown In recent
article in the Journal Of the American
Medical Association. In SO cities the
death rate ranges from Nashville,
Tenn, with only 1.6 deaths per 100000
population, to Worcester. Mass. with
2S deaths per 100000. The average is
Just about halfway between. In 1923.
out OF 29.O0O.OO0 people In these cities,
there were 1921 deaths from diph-
iberia, or rate Of 1915 per 10000.

there were 1926 deaths. or rate of

scIATIcA

EVERYBODY knows what sciatica
IL is. Those who are unfortunate
enough TO suffer from 1t. will agree In
testifying that there are few Ills OF
the human body which are as painful,
chronic and wearing. But what causes
it has until recently been mystery.
Like "lumbago," muscular rheuma-
tism," and a dozen other pains and
aches in the body, it has been treated
with liniments, plasters, electricity
and massage. Sufferers have tried
osteopathy, chiropractic and such
things. also potatoes and horse chest
nuts. One of these methods of treat
ment has been about as effective as
another and. in most cases, all of them
have failed to give any permanent re-
lief. The trouble has been that little
was known about the causes of this
painful condition and so, like. all dis
eases the cause of which is unknown.
treatment has been largely a matter
Of shooting in the dark" with about
hundred-to-one chance Of hitting
the bull's-eye.
In a recent article In the Journal
of the American Medical Association,
Doctors Rosenhecka and Finkelstein
give the results Of careful study
which they, have carried on for years
on this much neglected subject. They
find as might be expected, that there
Is no one cause for this condition, but
that there are two main classes Of
sciatica. The first, which they call
symptomatic sciatica, is caused by In
lection, poisons from distant sources,
as the teeth, tonsils, gall bladder, APP
pendix, etc. In this class, the pain
in the sciatic nerve is simply a symp-
tom of disease elsewhere and disap-
pears when the disease causing it Is
cured.
The second class, which they call
orthopedic sciatica, is caused by some
disease or displacement OF one of the
joints of the pelvis, such as the hip
joint, the joints between the different
parts of the pelvis, between the spinal
column and the pelvis. etc.
The cases Of the first class, In which
the pain Is caused by disease condi-
lions elsewhere and in which the sci
atica is simply the manifestation of
this condition-the "place where it
hurts" rather than the place where
the disease Is located-must naturally
be treated by removing the cause,
whether bad teeth, diseased tonsils,
infected gall bladder or abscess around
the appendix, be responsible.
On its removal or treatment, the
sciatica disappears with all the other
symptoms.
In the second class, especially the
chronic cases caused by dlslocation
of one Of the joints Of the pelvis.
stretching of the leg, followed by plas-
ter jacket, was found to give perma-
nent relief In large number OF cases.
The moral Is, II you have sciatica,
find out what kind you have, and have
1t properly treated. Don't take medi-
cine or treatment for the pain alone.
Find out the cause and remove it.

Enjoys nephew played at being a
clown. He went from animal to ami
NAL and asked them ridiculous ques-
lions. And all the animals answered
him. for they could talk just like the
Crockeyfolk.
Among the animals which the Crock
eyjoy's nephew teased was a little
white mule with string of bells about
his neck. The nephew took off his hat,
cut two Sits in the sides of 1t, then
pulled it onto the mules head and
down so that its ears stuck through
the Sits. Then he put on his roller
skates and started to skate all around
the white mules body. He could skate
upside down and sideways every bit
as well as when he stood straight
up. He made himself sort of loop
the-loop by skating straight around
the mules body. Up one side and
down the other. faster and faster he
went. His skates dug into the mules
ribs and tickled him.
''Ha-Ha- He Haw- Ha -Ha." laughed the
mule. "Quit tickling me. Quit tickling
me-" But the nephew only went
faster.
Then the white mule started to kick
frantically, in all directions. He
knocked over row Of tin soldiers.
There was a mighty racket. Everyone
began to run.
Ruth raised her head. When she
looked about her, she saw that sud
den gust of wind had tumbled over the
Noah's ark and some OF the tin sol
diers with it. At least that was what
seemed to have happened when her
mother looked in moment later.
Ruth said nothing about the Crockey
circus. She jumped to her feet. kissed
her mother goodnight, and ran away
to bed.
