The Herald, 1908-09-11, Page 6RENTERS' WARNING. Find a House's Health Record Be- fore You Move In. :.i (Phfadolphia Record.) Some timely suggestions or hints to persons about to move into new homes are given in the weekly bulletin issued by Dr. Neff, liestd of the Department of Health and Charities. Every one, he points out, should exercise the greatest care, in changing his domicile, in safe- guarding against the contraction of dis- eases from which former residents of the houees may have suffered. In order to be certain of the cleanliness of the houses the Director suggests that infor- mation as to former tenants be sought from his department, and 'that it would be well to avoid a building recently oc- cupied by a patient suffering from some contagious malady. In his warning the Director says: No sane person would move into a house where there is a serious nuisance plainly visible to the eye, or where there are foul odors from imperfect or impro- per drainage, without having the owner correct 'the trouble; yet a much graver danger, that cannot be detected by the senses, may exist in germs of contagious diseases. If the room or house has previously been occupiedby a person suffering from contagious diseases thorough disinfection should be made before ocupaney. Tele- phone or write to the Bureau of Health, City Hall, where complete records are kept of all contagious diseases reported to the Bureau, and the desired informa- tion will be furnished. There will be a few houses where contagious diseases have occurred of which there is no re - card, owing to failure of physicians to report them, although required to do so by act of Assembly. The responsibility for loss of life from their neglect must be assumed by them. C'pon application such dwellings or rooms will be fumigat- ed by the disinfectors of the Department. The law at present compels plumbers to submit plans for alterations and new buildings to the Drainage Division of the Bureau of Health, and these plans must be duly approved before any work is done. A similar law should be passed governing the rental and sale of houses, compelling the insertion in the lease or deed of a clause, protecting the purchaser or Iessee front these evils. Renters should demand from real estate agents Ina owners a certificate to the effect that the house has.been examined by the 'health officials and that it is in good ,sanitary condition and free from conta- gion. Tuberculosis germs under favorable .conditions, such as the absence of Iight, live for a. long time after the room has ceased to be occupied by a person suf- THE COME AND SEE SIGN This sign is permanently attached to the front, of the main. building of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Company, Lynn, Mass. What Does This Sign. Dlean ? It means that public iinDssppection of the Laboratory and methods of doing business is honestly desired. It means that there is nothing about the bus- iness which is not "open and above- board." It means that a permanent invita- tion is extended to anyone to come and verify any and ,m.1 statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs — with- out drugs ? Come and, See. Do the women of America continu- ally use as much of it as we are told. Come and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Prnk'ham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick woman are asked to wl.ite ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondence with sick women conducted by women only and are the letters kept strictly con�.dential ? Come and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one bauldred thousand women correspondents? Come and. See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured. thousands of these women ? Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know from their own personal experience that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve etable Compound for female iris will still go on using and being ben- efited by it; but the poor doubting, suffering woman must, for her own sake,be taught conlid.ence for she also might just PA well regain'her hes,lth. Mrs. M. Barrett, boa Morvan St., Montreal, says: " A horrid rash came out all over my baby's Lace and spread until it had totally covered his scalp. It was irritating and painful, and caused the little one hours of suffering. We tried soaps and powders and salves, but he got no better. He refused his food, got quite thin and worn, and was reduced to a very serious condition. 41 was advised to try Zam-Buk, and did so. It was wonderful how it seemed to cool and ease the child's burning, painful skin. Zam-Buk from the very commencement seemed to go right to the spot, and the pimples and sores and the irritation grew less and less. Within a few weeks my baby's skin was healed completely. He has now not a trace of rash, or eruption, or eczema, or burning sore. Not only so, but curer of the tor- menting skin trouble, he has improved in general health." Zam.Buk Is sold at all stores and medicine ven- dors, 5oc, a box, or post free from Zam•Bult Co., roronto, for price, 6boxes for $2.5o. A certain cure for all skin d,seases, cuts, burns, etc., and for piles. fering with consumption. A great many eases of consumption are contracted by healthy people moving into apartments that had previously been occupied by a person suffering with the disease. .As an illustration, in February, 1907, 'the chair- man of the committee of a certain home for incurables where consumption is treated wrote to the Department that during the preceding few years about 25 applications from consumptives for ad- mission to the home were received from certain houses located on Monroe street, from Second to Fifth --a larger number than had been received during that per- iod from any other street in the city. A list of these houses was obtained, and all were thoroughly disinfected. Since that time there has not been a single ap- plication filed from any of these houses. QUININE IN ITALY. State Sells It and Uses the Profit to Fight Malaria. The sale of quinine in Italy is carried on in a peculiar fashion. The Govern- ment sells the drug to the peasants in malarious districts and then uses the pro- fit to fight malaria. The first aim is to protect the pea,. sants from mosquitoes. But it is ahnost impossible to get them to take care of the wire screens which are given them for their hcuses. As for their \veering veils and gloves when they go abroad, as they are urged by the authorities to do, anybody who knows the Italian peasants can guess how many of them will do it. The Government has therefore to de- pend chiefly on draining and filling up the pools where mosquitoes breed and on what is called bonificaanento, or the improvement of the land in various ways. Last year the Government sold to the peasants about $300,000 worth of quinine, with a net profit of about $75,000. How One Farmer Does It. A farmer wrote as follows to his home newspaper: "When I ' a ready to sell my stuff I insert alittle adver- tisement in the local paper telling the people what I have to sell, and if live stock, how many head of each and when they will be ready to ship. The result has been that the buyers are right after me, either personally or by mail, and naturally I always get the highest price. If 1 want to buy a cow, a steer, a horse, or a dozen of each, I insert a little ad. that costs me maybe 25 or 30 cents, and instead of travellnig over the country inquiring of my neigh. bors who have this or that for sale, the newspaper does it for me at less expense, and those who have what I want lean - age to let me know in some way. 1 save the time and expense of travelling aimlessly about and get a better selec- tion to choose from."—NewaTimes, Ma- ma, Ill. THE VALLM OF A SMILE. What It Did for a Scotchman in Cal. gutta During Plague. On the door leading into the private office of the treasurer of one of the Hartford banking institutions may be seen by all earners seplain white card, on which are these two words; "Keep Smiling." • Aek the treasurer the significance of: the placard, and he will say simply; "Just keep smiling. That makes every- thing easy. That's what snake are for. A good, unfeigned, sincere smile is a veritable battering-ram to knock hard things out of , the way. Sometimes 1 smile out loud, all to myself, when 1 run against anything hard; and the in- vitation is out to whoever enters my door.' I take it that people' will smile as they read the card, and 1 want them to continue the act while in here!" He tells of a visitor who came to see him last winter, a Sooteluuan, who had nerved in Iudit in the army. "My dear sir," said the visitor, "I am greeting that legend heartily.' Many years ago, when the plague was raising 1 was in Calcutta, and sick. The hospitals were full, an with other patients 1 was ly- ing in a shed, a very sick man. On each side of mea poor chap had died, when a man came around with one of the doctors to measure the bodies. As they finished the second fellow's mea- surement they looked at me, and the man said: 'Three of 'em, heigh7" and whipped out his tape measure at my side. In spate of all effort, I could only stare. To save my life I couldn't speak or move. All I. could do was to smile, and I just smiled. Instead of the mea- suring line I was given better attention, and recovered. The smile did it! That's right! 'Keep smiling!' "—Hertford Tomes. DR. HUNT'S BUST DEVELOPER Will develop your bust from two to three inches in a very short time. ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. Price $1.00, express prepaid.
