It is given to but few of us to save even one life a year. But there is a way in which Madiscn county can save many lives each year. Unless an individual. has had it called to his attention, ',ho does not realise, the large number of ba bies killed each year, the most of whom are dying from preventable causes. Nearly everyone, if he pau ses to think; a momcn can recall one or more babies dying before it is a year old; The chances are that thisjjaby died from, infant diarr hoea or colitis. Many can recall young mothers dying at childbirth. These deaths,' are practically alwa) a un-necessaryA' ... . i 4 One of theybest ways in which to attempt to Idwer the maternal and infant deatbs.is for the county to employ, X nurse whose duty it wou d be to visit tho homes and help the mothers with-'their problems. She would fell the mo her the best me thods of clothing and feeding l.er baby and advise her about any problems that arose with the baby. There are few? women who either during pregnancy or during their baby's first two years of life have not fplt .Jtha uied of someone to ad vise them ; concerning 'their "prob lems which they feel reticent of taking to their physician. The in fant Hygiene nurse would fill this need for that would be her primary duty: to help'-the mother as she visits the home. If she discovers anything a miss, she will be glad to tell the mother the trouble, if necespary advising an early consul- tatlon with the family', physician . Your physician ia always , alert, to previent iljness:and he always wants to be called before it is too late tov cure his patient. The mother might? not have noticed the trouble with her baby for it might have been coming on so slowly. , North Carolina has becrf one of the first states to awaken to the need of this work and we should feel proud of ' our State for this step." It gives material help to any : county desiring to inaugurate this work by contributing one half tho 1 amount necessary to properly car ry on this work. Our county, to . secure this ne'eded, work would have to contribute only one hun dred and four dollars a month. . ' Madison county needs this work, for over forty percent of all yotnr deaths not including, stillbirths even, occur among babies under two years of 'age and among ex pectant mothers: Such a work is , so needed that the expense should' not be considered: o n c mother' life saved would j more than cover the entire outlay and more than' one life saved would make tho nurse's wo"rk invaluable She will not only save life -but she would save sickness. It is ' impossible to deny that a sick mother, lessens the chances of her family, receiving the proper amount of care, it also is true that a baby sick through its baby days Btands much lfcSS chance of growing up to be a strong, heal thy, happy citizen. So, let's all ' ftmlnrsA this fnwminf. to irivfi Ma. - y . . o--- " dison's mother's and babies better chances of living long and useful lives. . i . . '"- KlBYSraLIJEYrinj fin Bu.cn( KHmiiiwtBwwx .
