Health Officer
Cites Danger Of
September Ills
Babies Need Special Care
And Safeguards Against
Infections From Other
Persons

The following reminder that danger
of Summer complaint" for babies
does not end with thes ummer
months, and that special precautions
should be continued for some weeks
longer, to protect them from the dis
ease, comes from DR.. J. H. NJ. Knox,
Jr., Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene of the State Department OF
Health.
"Twenty years ago., DR.. Knox said,
"July was the month most dreaded by
physicians and mothers, alike, as the
time when summer complaint was
likely to be particularly prevalent
among babies. Gradually the period of
greatest danger of both sickness and
deaths among babies from intestinal
diseases has come later and later in
the season.
"Now, in this part of the country,
September is included by many ply
sicians in the period when special
care should be given to infants, in the
preparation of their food, in protect
ing them from flies, and from infec-
ton contracted from other members
of the household who are suffering
from diarrhea or dysentery.
GAS special precaution, no radical
changes should be made in baby's
diet - if it is doing we'll = until the
crisp fall days are here. If the baby
becomes even slightly ill, doctor
should be called promptly.

Expansion Montgomery
County Hospital
Continued from page u

funds received during the campaign.
It is unusually well-equipped for a
country hospital, having X-ray equip
ment, an oxygen tent, dental equip
ment, complete laboratory, and other
modern equipment needed to offer
complete medical and surgical serv-
ice.
Frequent clinics are conducted
under the d. rection of the
County Health Department, Maryland
tuberculosis Association and Mary
land League for Crippled Children.
AS result of the large amount of
charity work, the hospital incurs an
annual loss of about $4,000 from in
digent patients, not including the cost
of X-rays, laboratory work and surgi-
cal and other services.
With the income from private pa
tients and other sources, the institu-
ton is able to pay its operating ex-
renses, but the deficit on charity
cases makes it impossible to finance
new construction from regular in
come.
In addition to resident physician,
the hospital has a staff of nine
trained nurses, and laboratory tech
nician. About 40 visiting and consult
ing physicians from Montgomery and
neighboring counties and from the
District of Columbia utilize the serv-
ices of the hospital. Nearly 1900 pa
tients have been admitted since the
institution opened in 1920, when it
had only % beds.
The current drive which is only the
second in the hospitals history will
center largely in Bethesda, Chevy
Chase, Silver Spring and Takoma
Park, although contributions also will
be solicited from the other commune
ties in Montgomery county. Fred L.
Lutes, cashier of the Suburban Ma
Clonal Bank IN Silver Spring, has. been
appointed treasurer of the campaign.
Among the district chairmen VINO
will direct the solicitations are the
following: Kenwood, Mrs. Thomas
Sommerville; Westmoreland Hills,
Mrs. George Wetherill; Battery Park,
Mrs. A. B. Foster, Mrs. Fred Coe,
Mrs. George Pariseau, and Mrs. E. H.

quet was of white roses and lilies
of-the-valley. The bride, walking
beneath an archway of green, met
the groom with his brother, Mr.,
Robert Fleming as best man, at the
head of the porch steps, where the
Rev. DR.. Pierce awaited them. The
bride was given in marriage by her
father. Two sets of twins, the
Misses Lucy and Lula Trundle, sis
ters of the bride, and Mrs. Donald

quets of dahlias of contrasting
shades of yellow and pale lavender.

How Birds Find Their Food

Birds find their food chiefly by the
sense of sight. Their behavior in
cooking their heads while searching
for worms and other food on the
ground leads to the belief that the
sense of hearing is involved, but this
gesture is merely to aid in seeing.
They do not have bifocal visions
and they can see best when single
eye is pointed directly at the spot
or object to be examined. Birds
have a poor sense of smell. The
only sound made by earthworms is
very slight and resembles that made
by a person when he moistens his
lips and then opens and closes them
without moving his jaws.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-12-14


Ways to Detect It
There are a number of ways to
detect hysteria. For instance, a
person will say his hand is numb.
Now, there are two sets of nerves
that go to the hand. One set starts
fairly far up the wrist, comes down
and innervates the thumb, first, Sec
ond and half of the third finger; the
other set comes down and innervates
the middle finger and the outer side
of the third finger. When there is
an actual nerve disease which causes
numbness, it can be outlined in one
of these two areas. Hysterical
numbness, on the other hand, is a
numbness of the whole hand, simply
as a mental image, and stops
abruptly at the ring around the
wrist.
The treatment of hysteria is by
psychotherapy, although a great
many curious treatments in the ma
ture of suggestion have been used.
A great deal of medicine is valuaDle
simply because it is, suggestive, NOT
because it has any real physiological
action. The best medicine for the
hysteric is probably the kind that
smells the worst and tastes the
worst. A great deal of the old doc
tors ability to cure the disease was
due to the fact that he could get up
as nauseating a mixture as anybody
is likely to want.
