SALE OF VALUABLE LAND
Under and by virtue of an order

ial proceedings entitled Wilkins Sto
vall and others, ex parte, the under
signed Commissioner appointed in
said order, will offer for sale, for
cash, at the Court House door in Ox

acres, more or less, being the tract
of land mentioned in clause 3 of the
will of the late John W. Stovall. Said
land adjoins the following properties
On the north by Mrs. M. F. Stovall

into three separate tracts, and then
sold separately and as a whole, so
that purchasers may buy a part or all

sold for division, and while the terms

extended payments may be arranged
at the time of the sale. This is a
valuable tract of land, and well lo

J Danger Signals .of lubercilbsisl j
HiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHin!
TfN a previous article, it was stated that nearly everybody has tu
: I berculosis at some time or other during his lifetime. Autopsies on
11 people have shown that hardly a single human being reaches
mature life without a scar on his lungs or elsewhere showing
where tuberculosis had attacked him, and he, by his normal resist
ance and vitality, had warded off the continuation of the attack.
Because tuberculosis is so widespread, every man, woman and
child should give the most careful attention to those signs of the
disease which point out danger. The treacherous disease germs may
enter the body in early childhood and may not cause any 1 serious
trouble for ten or fifteen years. Then, all of a sudden, when the
body is weakened by overwork, worry, sickness, or bad living and
working conditions, these sleeping germs wake up and become ac
,tive in the destruction of the lungs or other organs. The working
man or woman, therefore, cannot be too careful in the safeguarding
of health and in watching out for those symptoms which indicate
that the disease of tuberculosis is actually present. What, then,
are some of the danger signals and what should be done about them?
(1) First of all, there is a cough that hangs on and. will not
clear up. If it lasts for a month or longer, it is a red light, a danger
signal, which you cannot afford to ignore. It may start with wet
feet or some other insignificant circumstance, but no matter how the
cough started, if it does not go away, see your doctor at once. Colds
frequently weaken the bodily tone and resistance, so that it is easy
for the lurking germs to get a foothold.
(2) Loss of weight, accompanied by a loss of appetite, and a cer
tain amount of "stomach trouble" is another danger signal, which
you must not pass unheeded. Sometimes loss of weight may come
from some other cause than tuberculosis, but it pays to be on your
guard. You may not have a cough, and you may experience very
jittle trouble except a sort of chronic weariness. You ought to know
what your normal weight should be. If you begin to lose' five, ten
or more pounds without any apparent reason, look; for sound med
ical advice at once. Sometimes with loss of weight goes a loss of
appetite, and trouble wtly bowels and stomach, even running Ho"
diarrhea. "Whether you are losing much weight or not, look out for
this danger signal. It is a warning that something is wrong.
, (3) Then there is that run-down, all-the-time-tired feeling. Most
Xeople have days when they feel unusually tired, for some reason
or other Such an occasional period of "spring fever" or "lazy
liver" may not be at all dangerous, but when every day for two or
three weeks you hate to get up and dread to do anything but lie
around and be lazy, there is danger ahead. This is Nature's warn
1 ing to you that some enemy inside your body is sapping your
vitality. Don't ignore the warning signal!
(4) Anyone of the three symptoms just mentioned may occur
singly or all of them may come at one time. When, to any or all,
there is added a fever in the late afternoon or during the night,
accompanied possibly by sweats, beware of this danger signal. It
is a bright red flag which Nature waves before you, cautioning you
to give immediate heed. Anyone's temperature may rise at times,
some people's more easily than others. But when for a week every
afternoon about four or five o'clock you've felt feverish, or when
night after night you wake up in a , dripping , sweat, you may rest
assured that there is nothing normal about that. Go to your doctor
at once and tell him about it. You may have no cough and no other
sign of disease, and this may be the only warning you'll get. Give
heed to it at once. .
(5) If you have a cough and in spitting you find streaks of
blood in your sputum, you may rest assured that something is
wrong. It may not be a direct sign of tuberculosis, but whatever it
is, you should attend to it at once. You cannot afford to waste
time putting it xoff. Nature may give you that more emphatic
warning of the presence of tuberculosis, a hemorrhage of the lungs.
If so, don't be scared unduly. It is a danger signal, and if you
heed it, you may be safe.
There are other danger signals, some which you can see and
some which only a trained physician can detect. Your safety lies
in getting medical attention as early as possible. Tuberculosis can
be cured if it is discovered in time. The time to discover it is when
the first symptoms show themselves. Don 't take chances with
Death. You'll lose every time.
Go to a good doctor, if you notice any of these danger signals,
and insist that he examine you stripped to the waist. If you can't
afford a doctor, go to a free clinic and be examined. It may cost
a few dollars to be examined, but it may save you hundreds oi
dollars, untold suffering, and possibly your life and that of your wife
and family. - ":; . ; ' ? " - , '
"SAFETY FIRST" is a motto that applies to tuberculosis,
especially when it is first showing itself.
