DIPTHERIA
Some days ago there appeared in
a well-known periodical an advertise
ment that ran something like this,
“Total Ignorance.” Igrorance feeds
the ranks of Bolshevists, I. W. W. A.,
criminals, loafers, and all the other
cooties that infect human society,”
but ignorance isn’t wholly conlijied
to solid ivory heads, all ignorance
doesn’t come out of Russia, ignorance
isn’t always a crime—its just Lack of
Knowledge, and ignorance is more
general than we admit. In fact, ig-
npranco is the “nigger in the bus
iness woodpile today.” This is the
way the business advertiser looks at
ignorance. Ignorance, lack of know
ledge, is the wrcnch so often thrown
into the gear of Health work. Care
lessness also has a place in retarding
effective disease prevention.
Some DcHnite Information In Regard
To Diptheria
The season for diphtheria is on,
during: September and October we
have usually far more diptheria than
at any other season of the year.
The Probable Cause
The most probable cause for in
crease in Diptheria at this particular
season, is that schools open at this
sea?on of the year, and therefore,
the coM,urej;ation of lar<::o numbers
of children. Diphtheria is a spit-
borne disease, and of course children
at p’ay, swap spit often. There is
no doubt, but, that diphtheria carriers
(viz—Those who are not sick and pro
bably never have been sick with diph
theria, carryin.'LT germs of diphtheria
in their ’losc and throat,) first spread
the disease.
To Prevent And Cure Diphtheria
Ail school children should have cul
tures made from the secretions of the
nose and throat on entering school.
Thoi-o positive to diphtheria, should
remain at home and be treated till
the SL'cretions are negative to diph
theria. Every child who has the least
sore throat or cold should stay at
homo till w'ell. Call your doctor
early. If he pronounces the case
diphtheria, insist that he give your
child State Board of Health Diph
theria Antitoxin. It costs only 25c
for the syringe. The balance of
,'he cost is paid by your taxes. It
would be well for citizens to “Take
time by the forelock” and see if their
druggist and physician has State
Board of Health Diphtheria Antitoxin
thir. is already paid for by
taxes on hand in case thit it is needed
at once.
We have just received a letter
from a party who paid his druggist
$13.25 for antitoxin that would have
cost only $1.00 if he had used State
Board of Health Diphtheria Antitox
in. There are three products that
your druggist can furnish free to
his patrons, smallpox vaccine, typhoid
vaccine and diphtheria antitoxin. It
does look like good business adver
tising for your druggist to do this.
Some people cannot see a dollar in
the distance on account of the pen
ny right before their eyes.
Diphthyia is curable'if antitoxin
is given in tin\p. All suspicious cases,
those cases in Which there is no mem
brane in sight, but have other symp
toms present, should have antitoxin
at once. Take no chances by delay.
I would advise all school teachers
to be on the alert for any symptoms
of disease at all times and would
like to state that I have recently
quarantined some cases of scarlet
fever. In view of the fact that the
school were closed for so long a
period last t;erm because of influenza
physicians and teachers should co
operate in reporting and isolating any
suspicious case.

Taking Tanlac.
BE R!D OF THAT ACHE
If you are a sufferer with lame
back, backache, dizziness, nervous
ness and kidney disorders, why don’t
you try the remedy that your neigh
bors recommend? Ask your neighbor?
^Irs. Z. V. Burrell, Whitmire St.,
Brevard, says: “Several years ago
kidney trouble got the upper hand of
me and I was in pretty bad condition.
I had a dull heavy ache across my
kicineys mor-t of the time and I felt
tired out. It was almost impossible
for me to ctraighten after bending
ar>d blindini;- dizzy spells came over
me v> hen I could hardly stand. I was
more tired mornings than Avhen I
Y.ent to bed and I had hea:!aches and
nervous spells. My ankles and hands
swelled badly and my kidneys acted
too freely. Hearing of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills I began taking them and in
a short time I was feeling like my
self again.”

“One of the best doctors in Colo
rado advised me to take Tanlac, and
it has not only overcome my troubles
but I have gained sixteen pounds
since I began taking it sixty days
ago.” said A. F. Roberts, who lives
at Rocky Ford, Alberta, Canada, a
few days ago.
Mr. Roberts is one of the largest
cattle dealers in his section of the
country and before moving to Cana
da a short time ago, he had spent
most of his life in Colorado, U. S. A.
“I can now understand why Tanlac
enjoys such a wide popularity in both
Canada and the United States,” con
tinued Mr. Roberts, “ and sincp it
has done me so much good I know
that it is a very dependable medicine
and deserves all the praise that is be
ing given it. For the past two years
I have suffered from stomach trouble
and when I commenced taking this
Tanlac it was almost impossible for
me to retain anything I ate. I was
very nervous and never got a good
nights sleep and finally got so v/eak
and rundown that I was hardly able
to get about. I often had dizzy spells
and was bothered a great deal with
constipation.
“My physician certainly knew what
he was doing when he prescribed Tan
lac for me, for it has done the work
for me as I am as healthy and as
strong now as I ever was in my life.
In fact it has done much more for
me than I expected it would do. I
have a fine appetite and everything
I eat agrees with me perfectly and
I never have the slightest sign of
stomach trouble of any kind. I am
rio longer bothered with constipa
tion and never have those dizzy
spells any more. I have regained all
my strength, toe, and that nervous
ness has left me and I sleep like a
log every night. In fact, I am simply
enjoying perfect health again and I
give Tanlac credic for it all.”
