The committee adopted plan
to make the State Board OF
Health entirely responsible for
inspecting milk and cream, a
function it now shares with the
State Department of Agriculture.
The plan to abolish all 81 mo-

then turn their duties over to
county sheriffs and the State
Highway Patrol, was opposed by
Senator Walter G. Walker of
Daytona Beach.
Senator William r. Ray, of
Bradenton, submitted two pro-
.posals to tighten the states
method of collecting beer and
wine tax. Both wereSendorsed.

Your State Health
Officer Says
The Ghost OF Malaria

Today our thinking in regard
to malaria is a result Of our ex-
perience of many years ago, ac-
cording to DR.. A. L. Gray, di-
rector of the division of prevent
able disease control, state board
of health. In those years, he said,
people expected and prepared for
malaria just as they prepared for
the spring planting and the fall
harvest; they bought bottles OF
tonic and boxes of pills and cap
sules to cure a disease reported by
the thousands.
Now we find ourselves still
thinking that we have a lot Of
malaria, still buying a lot of anti
malarial drugs, still paying a ter
rifle price for defence against a
ghost of malaria" DR.. Gray stat
ed. THAT the disease is only a
mental picture, a ghost, is shown
by the fact that last year IL deaths
from malaria rel reported in
Mississippi. Investigation of these
deaths revealed that in few, il
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1949-08-25

any, instances were the doctors re-
porting these deaths reasonably
sure of their diagnosis as proven
by laboratory methods of finding
the malaria parasite in the blood.
This is the only sure method OF
diagnosis. In the same year l25
eases of malaria were reported
and few Of these were diagnoses
confirmed by labratory tests"
Warning people that chills, fe-
yer and other symptoms should
not be considered due only to ma
laria and dosed accordingly, DIR.
Gray said that this habit may re-
suit in the persons feeling better
after a few days and getting well
anyway of whatever allied him, or
in no correct diagnosis of the real
illness and consequent delay in
receiving proper treatment.
THE ghost of malaria is ex-
pensive," DIR. Gray continued.
Life insurance premiums in a
given area are influenced by the
history of communicable disease.
Many industries that considered
moving into Mississippi have seen
the red stop light of malaria as il
is purported to be-and have
gone elsewhere. Commentators
and writer's of the East and North
have pointed out the dangers OF
the ghost of malaria, representing
