It : impossi ble for tin' department ‘o put on county wide campaigns against typhoid and gel to the different points to give the treat ment to prevent this disease. We are trying to cover the] sections which have cases of; typhoid present, and prevent ! new cases. I will be in t ho office all day each SfVurday and will ho glad to give the treatment five to all those who will come for it. those in Weldon, or the, ^ who can reach Weldon any iime Satur day. Kvery one who has not had the pros ntat ive 1 re it mom should do so at once, and not take a big chnnee of getting typhoid. It is possiM • to pick up the infection at so mriiiy places, no one is safe unless they are protected against it. If you cft.inot reach the Health Depart ment office, have your family physician to give il to you and be on tilt* safe side. There is only one way to get Hi • county free from typhoid, that is for every one to tnkc the preventa tive treatment. This treatment is safe, and cannot do any harm to any one taking it. (t has proven its value, tin' same as the treatment against smallpox, iid is so cheap that eo one should be without this protection against one of our worst diseases to completely recover from. We will be glad to give' any one of the preventative' treat ments, for typhoid, small-pox, or cliptheria free to any one wishing it. and will try to put these campaigns on next spring -o ( Very one can get these in uinr own neighborhood. hut we advise every one to tnko the typhoid preventative treatment now, and not wait till next I spring. It may be too late. Please renv'mber to report till cases of contagions and in fectious diseases promptly to the Health Department. That is tile only way to prevent or check an epidemic.
