"Of the total deaths, 1907 were
under rs years old, 2,872 from Is
to "A; and 14,017-or over two
thirds of the total-were over As
years old. What we speak Of as the
degenerative diseases of middle age
groups, were responsible for 10,773
deaths or more than half of the
total from all causes. Diseases OF
the heart were responsible for 1925
deaths, diseases of the kidneys for
2,439, cancer for zoos, cerebral
hemorrhage for 1907 and diabetes
for 39S deaths.
Nearly all of these degeneratiye
diseases have slow beginnings, and
sickness or death from such diseases
can often be postponed or even pre-
vented, if the advice of the family
doctor is sought and followed. We
have grown accustomed to having
regular medical supervision Of bab-
les and young children, and the boys
and girls Of school age, are acquiring
the habit of health supervision and
periodical health examinations thru
the physical examinations that are
part of the regular school routine.
It is the grown-ups, now, who need
to acquire the habit Of going 10 tha
doctor while well In order tfat they
may be advised how to keep we'll.
By having an early diagnosis and by
following the Doctors advice, great
deal can be accomplished not only
in prolonging life, but in prolonging
it for healthy usefulness"

THE HEALTH RECORD OF
MARYLAND FOR 1898

In spite of the depression, there
was less sickness from commune
icable diseases in Maryland last year
chan for several years, and there
were fewer deaths in the State from
all causes in proportion to the pop
ulation than at any time since the
records of such matters have been
Kept in the State. In commenting
on the record, DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health said: Last year was pa
ticularly favorable to the younger
element in the population but less
favorable to those who have reached
middle age. There were 1858
births reported during the year in
comparison with 28,740 in 1882,
but there were fewer deaths among
babies under year old, in proper
ton to the number of births, than
at any time since the State mas been
keeping the records of births and
deaths. There were 81. AGA births
in the white population and 6,16s
in the colored. There were 1,149
infant deaths in the white popula-
ton or approximately 54 desths UNI
der one year to, each thousand live
births; and 644 deaths under one
year in the colored population or ap-
proximately 1O4 deaths to each
thousand colored births.
There were 20,596 deaths from
all causes, at all ages of which IT,
S46 were white and 4.750 colored.
Considering these deaths in relation
to population. there we're IL deaths
in each thousand of the total popu-
lation of the State. IL In each thous-
and of the white population and IT
in each thousand of the colored.
These proportions continue the de-
cline that has been evident during
the past five years.
There were encouraging decreas-
es in a number of important causes
of death. There were 1852 deaths
from tuberculosis, 149 less than in
1882; 1856 from pneumonia in
comparison with 1.7s0 last year; 81
from typhoid fever in comparison
With az In 1912; and 80 from diph-
iberia In comparison with So last
year.
"There were fewer cases Of sick
ness from the reportable diseases
than for several years. Some of
these diseases-like measles--occur
in epidemic form, at more or less
regular intervals. Last year was q
favorable one In this respect. The
total number Of cases Of sickness

TEETH AND HEALTH

TETANus OR LOCK JAW

TETANUS OR LOCK JAW
This is very severe and serious
infectious disease that is mainly
produced by a germ known as tet-
anus bacillus.
Tetanus babillus presence is wide
ly distributed upon the universe,
being found in manure, street and
dirt. The poison from these germs
are absorbed directly into the blood
and this causes a specific blood
poisoning. Puncturing the hands
and feet with rusty nails, burns from
gun shot wounds, and SO forth, have
been known to produce lock jaw;
not because of the injury that they
produce but because they carry these
dreadful germs and they infect q
lacerated wound. For lock jaw to
develop it is absolutely necessary
that the germs of tetanus to develop
in the wound.
Tetanus manifests itself within
five to eight days, from the date at
which the germs have actually ex-
tended into the tissues of the wound.
This infection as rule begins grad
ually, but on the other hand its on
set may be sudden and may extend
for a shorter or longer duration;
depending upon the severity Of the
infection.
The first signs are cramps and
stiffness of the muscles around the
lower jaw and neck, The low er jaw
soon becomes fixed and the person
Is unable to open the mouth, masti-
cate food, talk, or swallow. The
muscles of the face contract in such
a manner as to produce wild, ex-
cited expression with silly grin.
The pain at this stage is very
severe, and the individual is run
ming very high fever. The con-
traction of the other muscles con-
tinue until the individual becomes

this disease the mind Is clear.
This is a vey serious infection
and death may follow shortly If
proper treatment is not administer
ed at once; therefore, in any case of
wound that has been received with
anything that has been on or in the
ground tetanus antitoxin should be
administered in large doses at once,
SO as to prevent this dreadful condi..

INNOVATION
Freshmen Admitted In February
Donation For Reading Room

Freshmen Admitted In February
Donation For Reading Room
Two announcements of interest
to Maryland and nearby States are
made by President Gilbert Wilcox
Mead, of washington College, Ches-
tertown, Md. An innovation in
Maryland academic procedure will
be inaugurated in February when
freshman students will be admitted
in the middle of the school, year,
special arrangements of courses hav-
ing been made to permit this depar-
ture from custom.
Three classes of students will be
thus accommodated, those gradual
ing from city high schools in Febru-
airy, those transferring from other
colleges in the mid-year and those
whose economic condition did not
permit them to enter college in Sep
TENDER but whose financial situation
has now sufficiently improved to let
them matriculate.
The latter class come from both
large cities, towns and rural COM
munities and it is said numerous in
quiries and applications in this and
other commonwealth are being re-
ceived by the local college from
prospective students in these class
es. Some students may therefore
be able, it is believed, to graduate in
three years and half through the
speeding up of work made possible
by the new curriculum arrangement.
Meanwhile the local academic
head said that Mrs. Frank Madison
Dick, of Cambridge, Md, and New
York City, librarian-g general of the
national organization Of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, has
donated fifteen hundred dollars to
establish and equip reading room

The contribution has been made
through Dorset Chapter, D. A. r., of

now being equipped and will be ap-
propriately dedicated on February

tional holiday and observance at
