Copeland’s HEALTH TALK
0 Complication Fear
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
(United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of
New York)
Most diseases, in and of themselves, are rarely fatal. One man
could hardly win a battle. It requires an army to carry on a success
ful war.
One germ couldn’t get far in producing disease. A whole crowd
of one kind of germs rarely accomplishes terrible
■kana.
thing It is a mixture 01 germs, a sort or aiuea
army of germs, that works havoc with our poor
bodies.
To put it another way, it is the complications
of disease that we most dread. It is these we
must avoid.
When, O! when, will men and women learn
that the way to escape the dangers of sickness
is to give attention to the disease at its onset!
Wq have had another epidemic of influenza.
We had a serious, epidemic in 1919. We had a
dreadful one in 1918. There have been lesser
epidemics during this ten-year period.
■* What have these experiences taught us? So
OR. UJttxAM), far as the layman is concerned, I fear he has
learned little, except to be scared at the mention
ot the word "epidemic.’’ The doctors have learned that almost no
body dies from influenza. The deaths are due to the complications of
the disease.
On the day I am writing this I had a telegram that a friend of
mine had been taken to the hospital for an operation. First, he had a
mild attach from influenza and because he has a strong body did not
consider it worth while to go to bed,
or even to stay home.
The disease “went down on his
lungs.'’ First he had bronchitis and
then pneumonia, involving one lung.
This got better and then the other
lung was involved.
Now. like King George, he has
an abscess in the chest cavity. To
the original germ of infection, has
been added a pus germ of some
sort.
No matter what jhe disease -is, I
beg of you not to neglect your
trouble. The seriousness of the ail
ment will make certain that there
will be no neglect when the aching
ear, abscessed lung, or other com
plication arrives. There is such pain
then that everybody is sent pn the
run for the doctor.
It is true that many calls are
made on the doctor for advice about
trival ailments. But it is also true
that there are many, many failures
to consult the family physician at
the time when he could be of posi
tive assistance.
By the way, it isn’t fair to your
friend the doctor, to overlook his
importance at the moment when he
can speedily and successfully relieve
you of your disease. You should
not regard him as you do the fire
man, to be called on after the build
ing is on fire. Take time by the
forelock and use the doctor when
he can keep you from serious trou
ble.
The way to escape the complica
tions of disease, is not have them at
all! That is an awkward way of
putting an obvious fact.

Nature City Inaugurated On An
Island In River Seine By
Young People.
Parts.—The Cult of Nudity, one
of the outgrowths of youthful un
rest in Europe in early poet-war
days, has spread to Prance, where
boys and girls today inaugurated
the nature city on an island tn the
Seine.
The cult advocates nudity as an
aid to health, being in some ways
comparable to the movements
which gained considerable headway
in Germany some years ago. The
ceremonies today were carried out
by youthful members who wore
flimsy veils as coEtumes as they
made obeisance to nature in terpsi
choreah gambol.
It will r.ot be the purpose of the
organization to carry its ideas fur
ther until the nudity stadium is
built, according to the Soclete Na
turiste, which is behind the move
ment. The stadium is being con
structed on the He Palatais, in the
River Seine.
The participants in the cere
monies numbered several hundred,
mostly young French men and
women, with a sprinkling of older
members who have adopted the
youthful ideas. The devotees of na
ture assembled in the morning and
paraded around the island, while
snch curious sightseers as were able
tb approach watched from both
banks.
At midday a luncheon, consisting
of vegetarian foods, was served
under the trdes. Wine, the custom
ary drink of the French, was for
bidden. A glass of cold water was
considered sufficient for everyone.
The afternoon was given up to rhy
thmic dances, a game of medicine
ball and various other sports.
In a statement of instructions, is
sued to the members, the society
enjoined light covering for parti
cipants, reminding all, however,
that the stadium soon would be
completed. When the new structure
is ready, It was said, the society will
inaugurate its regular program.
