CAfTRST FIHAIXE PRKVTXTIVE MEDICINE. ; Paper Read Before the Teacher's i Meeting by lr. R. M. Held, Hchool Physician. , Today is the day pf oreventive medicine. ' The medical profession of today is attaching ever increasing impor- ' tance to preventive medicine ratner " than to the rapeutic medicine, that la. the profession is daily realizing j that far more benefits to man-kind - follow their efforts to prevent dis- eases than have ever followed their attempts to cure diseases. - 'While National and State govern menu are spending time, money and thought in the employment of scientists, engineers and medical ex ports to draft numerous and various laws which are now on our statue book for the protection of their citizens, still all this counts for ; naught, unless we can get the Bemny co-operation oi me leacuern In our public schools. The last word in sanitation, public health and prevention of disease resolves itself ' Into the enthusiastic, unstinted and . untiring support given this subject , by our public school teachers. I v To the thoughtful and intelligent . teacher this fact Is too obvious to . need mentioning, except to keep ever : in your minds the following sen . evident fact, that the hope of all , future sanitation is inseperably linked with the conscientious in v structlon on this subject by our teachers and by lndellibly stamping ,: , It on the susceptive and receptive minds of the children now in our public schools. To reverently para ' phrase a scriptural quotation, the : government may plant, the physi cians may water, but our public school teachers only can give the de sired increase in sanitation. - The history of our public schools is that they have ever been a veri table hot-bed for the transmission Af fnfajaHAiia HiaASBAtt anH tho ran- . ton for this is conspicuously ap- parent when you consider these facts, that our schools are filled, or very oten more than filled, with children from every walk and condition of life' and who are of the age of greatest susceptibility to disease, who lire In close daily contact and -who have no thought or knowledge along this line. With these facts as a prelude to , the subject I wish to discuss with r you. I now desire to present a few of the more frequent and important in " fectlous diseases, with their promi nent and suggestive symptoms, wjiich I trust may aid you in prevent ing Jthelr transmission. As you well ; know, no one or even two symptoms, - are "ever absolute proof or diagnos ' tic of any given disease but simply suggestive of some specnc disease, r Just here let me urge upon you never to make a positive diagnosis, in fact I would advise that you make no diagnosis, for it is entirely out of your provence and may lead to an embarressing position for you or 5 even disastrous results to the child. , ,To impress this fact lndellibly on WAnv mlnrfa narmlt m A in Til Q La thia statement:' to be able to habitual ly make a correct diagnosis, in the majority ot cases, requires years oi discriminating study and - scientific training and has ever been "the consummation devoutly to be wish ed" by every conscientious member of the medical profession in all ages. ;Jn v considering an infectious dis ease, it is well to know: First, that the symptoms of dis eases are both subjective and ebjoc tive. Subjective symptoms are those unseen or constitutional sym ptoms and, therefore, can seldom be of much benefit to you except in ' certain cases. Objective symptoms are those that can be known by one or more of the five senses, as sight, touch, taste and smell. Of these five senses you will necessarily rely upon three, mentioned in their order of importance, namely sight, touch and 'bearing and just here let me say, that the conscientious and con sistent use of these in your daily work, will be a revelation to you in the amount of information you per sonally can obtain and will, not in frequently, enable you to prevent an epidemic and thereby preserve the health and even the lives of some child or children entrusted to your care. Second, the period of incubation. CALOMEL DYNAMITES YOUR LIVER! MAKES YOU SICK AND SALIVATES "Eedsci's liter Tone" Starts Your Lhtr ' Beflw ;.TIai Cali&El ni Yen Don't . v Lki i Dai's Wort liven an your slupjjinh lirpr! Feci tne mud rlieeriul ; make your work a pleasure: be vigorous and "full of ambi tion. Bwt . take ; naty, dajipiTou calomel ' Ix-cause it makes you tskk and joa may lot g day's work. . Calomel is meceurv or quicksilver which eauaes ' necrosis of the bones. Calomel . crashee . Into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. listen to me I It you want to enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experieaeed just take spoonful of harmless Dodaon's Liver which is the time between exposure to a disease and the appearance of the first symptoms, and is of impor tance as you will observe later. Third, the method of onset may be gradual, mild or severe.' Fourth, the degree of sickness. Is fairly characteristic of each dis ease, but it must not be forgotten that a typical mild case may trans mit a severe case Co others. Fifth, sore throats exists in acute sore throat, tonsillitis, diphtheria. and scarlet fever. Sixth, a skin rash (often more or less characteristic in each case) ex ists in scarlet fever, measles, Ger man measles, chicken-pox, small pox and from scratching in scabies. seventn, diseases and defects re sulting from infectious diseases are numerous and various. In scarlet fever the kidneys may be irreper- ably damaged. Heart disease fre quently results from diphtehria. scarlet fever, rheumatism and ton sillitis. Scarlet fever, measles. grippe may cause abscesses of the ears or glands of the neck. From the foregoing you can readi ly realize the responsibility of mak ing a differential diagnosis between the four or five diseases that begin with the common symptom of sore throat or between the six or seven diseases that have skin manifesta tion as the initial symptom; then couple with these the not infre quent, irregular, a typical or mild cases, and you can understand why it is not only difficult but sometimes impossible, even with mediclal men to make a positive diagnosis. We now come to the practical ap plication of these facts. If any child has a general eruption over his hands, face or oerspn; if he has a severe cough, red watery eyes; if he has sore throat, difficulty in swal lowing; if he has minute furrows over his hands more especially be tween his fingers; if he has en larged glands or kernels about his ears, neck or angle of his jaws; if he complains of headache after read ing, near or far sightedness, mouth Dreaming, noticeable dullneus or backwardness; or if he has inflamed ana weeping eyes; send him at once to his family physician, or to the school physician. You will find one or more of tbe above symptoms present In every acute infectious disease that demands investigation in the school room. The following infectious diseases, with their period of incubation and length of quaran tine necessary, may be of aid to you: Diphtheria incubation period. 1 to 7 days, quarantine 2 weeks. Scarlet fever incubation period, 2 to 5 days, (2-4 most often) quaran tine 6 weeks. Measles incubation period. 1 1 to 14 days, quarantine 3 weeks. German measles incubation period, 11 to 20 days, quarantine 3 weeks. Chicken pox incubation period, 10 to 14 days, quqarantine 3 weeks. Mumps incubation period, 14 to 21 days, quarantine several days after swelling has disappeared. TODAY'S POEM THE LITTLE FARM. Margaret E. Sangster, Jr., In The Christian Herald. There's a little farm that nestles in tbe shadow of a hill; It's a lonely spot in winter when the earth Is white and still; When the tempest makes your heart ache with its bitter, wailing sigh, And the roads are all unbroken, and a storm is in the sky. There's a rocky bit of pasture where the huckleberries grow; It's a quiet place in winter 'neath the ghostly sheet of snow; And the vines that twine their ten drils all about the stony wall Are the wraiths of creeping wood bine that was scarlet in the fall. There s a time I can remember at the twilight of the day. When the shadows growing purple. look like forms that kneel to pray; When a little mother standing in the window strikes a light, And the lamp-shine glimmers golden all across the winter night. There's a little farm that nestles in the shadow of a hill. And a group of memories haunt me I am sure they always will. For a boundless love, far reaching, stretches toward me where I roam. And my heart Is lonely, sometimes; for that little farm Is home! THE HOY WHO MEANT TO. Selected. He meant to get up early, when the air was crisp and cool.
