Copeland’s HEALTH TALK
9 Neglect Is Dangerous
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. V.
(United States Senator and former Health Commissioner of
New Y'ork)
(Inquiries may be addresed to Dr. Copeland, care The Star, Shelby,
N. C. If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad

In this world of ours arc many living inhabitants. Some of them are
tiny organisms known to everybody as ‘ germs.'' Some of these are essen
tia! to our well-being, but these are dangerous and even deadly.
MC U* »UhMt
the harm! ul germs are watenlui, rraltj |
sneaking, treacjrerous beasts. Like assassins in j
the night they pounce upon their victims. They
seek to take his life.
One of the most vicious of the common germs j
is known to the scientilic world as the ‘ strepto-1
pj coccus ." This agent is responsible for much suf- j
f fcring and. I am sorry to say. for many deaths.
I wish we eou'.ri get everybody to understand
(that any wound where skin is o roken is an open
door through which dangcrouk germs may enttr.
Once they arc inside the body nobody knows what
havoc will be wrought. Let me give you a word of
warning against neglect of any injury or bruise,
even the slightest.
It is characteristic of boys and girls and even
’Ome men and women to want to appear brave and
Irr or burn, or the tear caused by a rusty nail. Fear of beiiv' considered a
"baby" or a "poor sport," or the desire to appear very brave, makes many
persons appear to look lightly on t
such seemingly simple wounds.
No one should neglect an injure1
or a bruise, whether it is the prick
of a pin. or a more serious acci
dent. Blisters, burns, tears and ab
rasions. lacerations, punctures made
by sticks or toys, scratches from
nails, splinters, and torn metal,
ause wounds which require careful I
mention. The attention is required
to guard against blood poisoning
with the possibility of a fatal effect.
Every wound. no matter how
slight, should have immediate at
tention It should.be washed wil.i
clean water and soap to remove all
dirt and foreign material. Then
iodine, two per cent. or another
germicide should be mopped on the
part. If the skin is broken, a small

dressing of clean gauze, held in

applied after this emergency treat
ment is used.
Blisters, cuts and bruises of the
feet are very apt to become infect

creases the inflammation and the
dye and the germ-ladendust from
stockings may be carried into the
wound. *
For this reason the greatest, care
must be exercised to keep these
abraded surfaces covered and free
from the possibility of infection
Once an Infection starts it may i
travel rapidly through the entire
system.
