Yarborough, * * foiiuty Hcultli Officer * * ? ????????? This is the time of year for vaccinations. especially against typhoid fever, diphtheria and small-pox. Since vaccination against typhoid fever has been emphasized by the Health De partment this disease has been reduced to a minimum, not a case of typhoid fever was reported as originating in Franklin County last year. Vaccination against ty phoid fever lasts only three years if three vaccinations, one vaccina tion protects for only one year. If you have not been vaccinated recently do so at- once. ?> The last legislature passed a law requiring all parents to have their children vaccinated for diphtheria before they are six years of age. If this law is ob served diphtheria will soon be an obsolete disease. Small-pox is a comparatively rare disease in this State at pres ent' but neglect of vaccination against same may allow it to be corhe epidemic. The Health Department will be glad to arrange clinics for vacci nation against these diseases in any community requesting same. How the change from horse to mechanical power has affected farm demand is shown in the fact that it took 82.000.000 acres to feed workstock in 1015. while in 19S5 only 46. 000. 000 acres were required. ,j)|i Doctors Say KEEP BOWELS OPEN During Cold Epidemics When colds are all around you, don't let weak spots in your defense arise due to constipation. "Keep 1 Regular," many physicians advise. For constipation and its strength sapping symptoms; headache, bil iousness, sluggishness, dizziness, sour stomach, use a laxative that acts thoroughly but not harshly.

It contains ?pleasant- tasting aro matics, carminatives and what is known by medical authorities as a gastro-intestinal tonic-laxative. It helps tone sluggish bowel muscles. Or.
