FREE CLINICS FOR IMMUNIZATIoN
OF CHILDREN
To the, PARENTS:

To the Parents:
In checking our records we find that
1878 children in Cecil County between
the ages of six months and six years
have not been immunized against
Diphtheria. We have written the
mothers of all these children asking
them to either have their children pro-
tected against Diphtheria by Toxoid
incubation by their family physician
or take advantage of the Health De-
partment Toxoid clinics to be held in
Cecil county.
The following is the number of cases
and deaths in Cecil County for a five
year period and our records show that
of the thirty-seven cases in the five
years, none of the children had been
immunized against Diphtheria:
1890: Cases IL, deaths s; 1881: cases
4, deaths o. 1892: cases 8, deaths O;
1888: cases 3, deaths 1; 1894: cases 10,
deaths l.
We should never have a death from
Diphtheria in this county and should
not have a case of Diphtheria develop
within the county. The only way,
however, to prevent Diphtheria cases
and deaths is to have all the children
between six months and six years i'm
munized against this dreaded child
hood disease.
Free clinics for the immunization of
children, ages six months to six years,
against Diphtheria by one incubation
of Toxoid will be given according to
the following schedule:
Tuesday, April 23rd-Cecilton Church
House, 1000 A. M. to Noon. Ford s
Hall, Chesapeake City, 1880 to $3.50
P. NJ.
Wednesday, April 24th-Health De-
partment, Elkton, 1000 A. M. to 900
P M.
Thursday, April 25th-North East
High School, 1000 A. NJ. to 200 P. NJ
Monday, April 29th-Washington
Hall, Port Deposit, 1000 A. M. to
Noon Perryville Elementary School,
1:30 to $3.50 P. NJ
Thursday May 2nd-Calvert School
School, 1880 to $3.50 P. M.
If you have any children between
the ages of six months and six years
that have not been immunized against
Diphtheria, please take them to your
family physician and have them i'm
munized at once; or, if this is not pos
sible, bring them to the clinic sched-
uled in your neighborhood on the
above dates
Until we have all children between
the ages of six months and six years
immunized against Diphtheria, we will
not be able to prevent this dreaded
disease in Cecil County. 1t can be
prevented if every parent does theii
part.

CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY OF
CECIL COUNTY

Seven brothers and sisters are back
home with their mother again, thanks
to efforts of the Children's Aid Society,
and they declare they are going to
sink or swim together" from now on.
When the father deserted some
months ago, the mother was financial
ly unable to support her large brood.
AS an emergency measure she dis
tributed her children among relatives
of two States and took a job at do
nestle labor.
Relatives finally objected to keeping
the children any longer and appealed
for help in getting them in an institu-
ton. Their mother could not bear the
thought of their being put away" and
appealed to the Children's Aid to help
her make plans.
Miss Nellie ]. Beardsell, Director,
says: I'VE studied the family's history
and learned all we could about the
mother. We found that she is per-
fectly capable of caring for her chill
dren, except that she has no money.
Certainly in cases of this kind, the
children should be with their mother
who is their best guardian, of course
We helped the mother find house
large enough for her brood and sent
for the children. They are happy TO
be reunited and l do not believe they
will require financial help so very long
as the older children will soon be able
to earn and assist their mother with
the expenses. Then too, she has a
garden and is making every effort to
help herself
I'm the meantime, the Childrens Aid
Society must ask the citizens of the
County to stand by and thru support
of our work enable us to help this de-
serving mother and chiidren,
IAN important feature of the work
)f the children's Aid Society is that
# keeping families together. Chill
len are not taken from their parents
wien the only handicap is poverty.
they are never removed from homes
until those homes have proven unfit
N every way. We believe that chill
dren always fare better in their own
homes unless there are grave social
problems there, such as crime, i'm
morality, disease, etc. We believe in
home life for boys and girls and are
always glad when we can be instru-
mental in keeping families together"
