Tiine ias whea there was always the dread of typhoid- One never Imew -when ill might strike. Often Miolei families were sick with ty phoid. Sachsmmner there were in moat -coniimniities v death, some times inere than one, from this aw fol dlaeaAe. t- While we have no statistic- at hand to show to what ex tant thej dasger iroin typhoid fever 4us !bea - mitigated, it ig a well Imowk fjwt. that in . . recent years, thgough the systematic inoculation of schoo) children and others, the danger Jrom typhoid fever has been drastically reduced. Few persons have typhoid fever now. fiul ($e germ ' is still with us. There is still danger unless the pre venath$s traetment is taken. The county has provided for all its citixensfree immunisation, not only from tjfphoid fever but from diph theria as well. It is three years since tje last clinic was conducted. Three jears is the period covered by the uncminization treatment Those who tofk the treatment three years ago are no" longer immunte and, therefoj, they should avail them selves of the opportunity to protect themselves and their households for another three years. Diphtheria does not take the toll of, life it once took, due to the pre ventatfoe. treatments administered, generaQy through the public clinics. All Jroung" persons anouid by all means take advantage of this oppor tunity to secure free immunisation from typhoid and diphtheria. For the here is not so much danger. Ihe danger to some extent is 'present. OW HILL NEWS Ralph Harrell had as her Thursday Mrs. Marvin Ben Old Neck. Edse and Jesse Harrell were in ilertford on business Saturday morn ing. . Mrand Mrs. W.
