School days will Boon be here. It is a well known fart that con tagious diseases are most preva lent during school months. If iq natural that such should be the .aae as crowded school rooms and school buses naturally tend to the ilisemination of diseases. Parents can do a great deal to prevent* this disemination by keeping their children at home if they show any beginning symptoms of any of these diseases. One child having any one of these diseases is almost a positive insurance against same, to-witi: Typhoid Fever, Small-Pox, Whooping Cough and Diphtheria. The last Legislature passed the following law: i "SECTION 1. Tiie parent or parents or guardian of any child in North Carolina .shall have ad ministered . tp such child between tb? ages ofaU months and twelve months, ah. immunizing dose of a prophylactic diphtheria agent which meets the, standard approv ed by ,tbe United Stages Public Health JgeryJce tor, such biologic products. | "SEC. 2.<^The parent or par ents or guardian of any child in North Carolina between the ages or twelve months and five years who has not been previously im munized against diphtheria, Shall have administered to such efalld an immunizing dose of prophylac tic diphtheria agebb which meets the standard approved by the United States Public Health Ser vice for such biologic products.*' The Health Department will ad minster this vaccination to child ren of parents that are unable to pay a private physician. Now is the time the child should be vaccinated, if you have not had your child vaccinated, a pro cedure of very little pain and practically no serious after effects. If you have your child vaccinated you will probably prevent any danger of these diseases and pre vent absence of the child from school, a doctor's bill and some times an injury to sight, hearing, paralysis and even death.
