SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By Do. @. "a. @. Reed

VoU win recall that I have re-
4 peatedly told you about car
riers''-a carrier being person
who has about him or her the
germs of a particular disease with
out having the diseale itself.
The carrier problem, according
to Mccartney British Med. jour-
nab, is becoming Of increasing
Importance to all who are con-
cerned with disease. It's economic
Importance cannot ,e ignored, for
each carrier in a certain insti.
tuition was estimated to cost
$1,000 a week to maintain, and
one hospital alone often has 40 or
so carriers to keep.
Convalescents may and often do
prove to be carriers. Such a car
rier Is a source of danger to
everyone he meets, for he may
give them the disease in a most
dungeons form. Many diseases are
known to be distributed by car
riefs. The convalescent carrier IS
OF especial Importance in diph-
iberia and typhoid fever. The
other kind. the contact carrier, :"
especially in infections OF the res
piratory tract, usually harbors the
germ for a short time only. Oc-
casionally. however, it settles
down in his nose and throat and
he, becomes chronic carrier.
The chronic convalescent diph-
iberia is perhaps the most dang
erous individual in the community.
That is because he Is the com.
monest and because the germs he
carries about are very virtulent
Some people carry non-viruleut
bacilli, physically quite like the
diphtheria bacillus These car
riers may be unnecessarily de-
tanned in isolation. They how.
ever, must not be released until
it has been carefully proved thai
their organisms really do not k'u

non-virulent germ will never turn
into a virulent one and will never
produce fresh case OF dlph.
iberia.
Unfortunately for the patient,
carrying" is often very inter.
mittent. 1t has been found neces-
sary in many such cases TO keep
them in quarantine until six tests
have been negative over a period
Of six weeks. On the whole the
milder cases are more likely to
become carriers, and carrying"
Is cornmonest of all in small chill
dren.
In Us per cent of carriers, &C
cordinR to Mccartney, there Is
some defect, such as diseased ton.
sils, chronic inflammation of the
nose, or DETECTED septum. When
this is cured the germs usually
go away for good. Sometimes
they hide themselves away in

uses and are most difficult to dis
lodge. 1t is said that sometimes
local treatment within the nose
will clear them off.
About per cent of sufferers
from typhoid become chronic
"conValescent carriers" They
continue to pass the germs in
their excreta. Such people usually
have chronic inflammation of
