Mi tmtii WHAT SHOULtf 8 DONE? OR. GUDGER SUICIDES. - NATURE'S WABMIMGL 1 , oooooooooboootobbcoooooboao frrrfr o Aa Appeal From A Woman Te North Caro . Iloa Manhood. Last week the secretary of the State Beard of Health received a letter in which the following facts were set forth : The writer was an orphan girl, and judging from neatneis. arrangement, and the general tone of her letter, she is a lady of refinement and culture. She is a daughter by birth and residence of North .Carolina. A little over a year ago a relative with whom she was living fell a victim of consumption . The young lady, then forced to earn her own living, moved to another State. She is now herself, in the early or curable stage of the disease, which she undoubtedly contracted while nursing her rela tive. Why does she write? What does she want? Simply to live. She has not the dollar a day which it is necesBarv for her to Day in order to enter the State Sanatori um for the Treatment of Tuber culosis. But why write the secretary of the State Board Health for this vitally necessary help? Because that office is commanded to disoharge the public-health obli gations of something like 200,000 able-bodied men. In this capa city, he is the personal representa tive of eaoh one of them, and this orphan girl's appeal is, there fore, to every North Carolina man. Then it is to you, able-bodied man, that this North Carolina woman comes for help. Woman appealing to man to save her life I A man, too, who claims the inspiration of a noble parentage, a man who considers 1 himself a pure-blood patriot, ready to die, if necessary, for North Carolina or North Carolina womanhood . All that is asked is a mere pittance in the form of a health appropriation. Five or ten cents from the average man would be enough. But oh.the hor ror of that word tax 1 Is it more horrible than the unnecessary dath of a helpless woman? So far, North Carolina manhood speaking through their representa tives haB seen fit to make io small a public-health appropriation that our State, wtych is four teenth in popluation, stands about thirty in her public-health appro priation. At present wa aie spending only six mills per capita, which means a tax of only one fourth of a cent on every hundred dollars worth of the State's prop erty, Our appropriation to the State Sanatorium for the Treat-""-"Bient of Tuberoulosis is so small that it is necessary for the few who enter to pay a dollar a day for treatment. The appeal of this woman is the only one of many such appeals. She simply represents a class. It is hoped that the State press will bring this vital matter to the attention of thoae whom it con cerns. It is really every man's business whose heart is warmed with a real gympathy fo suffer ing, helpless humanity. What will you have your State do? If it is your duty to help save these lives, tell your represen tatives in the next Legislature to assist in making adequate provi sion for the publio health. Bul letin State Board of Health . f $ioo Reward $ioo The reader of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that cience has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
