Zurich Herald, 1930-10-09, Page 7THE ANAEMIC GIRL Who Has Lost !ler Charm and Beauty "Sheseems to be losing her looks:' This remark is often heard about girls who were once noted for their spark- ling eyes, their rosy cheeks and their vitality. The cause is not far to seek =—they have become anaemic; that ac - senate for the pallor and the loss of charm. The anaemic girl, if she ueg- lecte her health, may be n sufferer all her life. Take heed, you pale, anaemic girls. Plenty of fresh air, nourishing food and rest will help you, but what you need most is good blood. Those wretched headaches; that fickle appe- tite and those terrible heart palpita- tions can only be banished if the blood is rich, red and pure. Good blood—the kind that brings good health, is created by Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, The whole mission of these Pills is to build rich, red, health -giving blood. The Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine or hy- men ymail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

For medical science has eular Sensitiveness, Spinal Pain, Ap- recently learned a great deal about parent or Real Rigidity of the Neck Muscles. Now, pbysiclans have developed a substance known as "Convalescent Serum." This serum is actually taken from the blood of individuals who have recovered from the disease. As I indi- cated ndicated ,it cannot prevent the disease, but if given during the critical period of forty-eight hours after the onset of the disease, it does enable the body of the sufferer to flight off and prevent the crippling. Why does it do this? It has been proven that very very rarely does .this disease recur in the same individual. That is because the blood of one who successfully recovers from it has de- veloped an immunity to the disease. It has been found that if a very small quantity of the blood of a recovered patient is injected into, the • blood of one who is just contracting the dis- ease ,the new sufferer will quickly de- velop the same immunity that exists in the blood of the recovered patient. Now you see why it is so important for parents to memorize carefully the symptoms of this disease. And why it is so necessary'that the doctor be summoned immediately, upon the first suspicion of their presence. It's all a question of speed—if the doctor gets on the scent within forty- eight hours after the first symptoms begin to manifest themselves, he can save the child from crippling or death. Otherwise the serum is useless, for it has been proven that once the crip- pling begins to set in, it is too Iate for the serum to work.

The early symptoms (it is most im- portant that you note and remember these symptoms, so I am going to say thein' over very slowly), The early symptoms are: Fever, Vomiting, Slight Diarrhoea, Listlessne$s; Un- usual leretfulnes nusual-Fretfulnes sand Drowsiness. Later and more characteristic :symp- fighting it ,and so, while warning you. against it, one is also able to tell you how to protect your children from the crippling and death that so often fol- low in its wake. These methods of protection differ from those employed in safeguarding human life and health from any other disease. We know how to prevent smallpox, 'and we know how to pre- vent diphtheria, but our doctors have not yet learned how to prevent the crippling that follows the disease. That, of course, is most important. For while the disease is 'a serious and dangerous affliction under any circum- stances, it is robbed of much of its "terrors when parents know that they can practically assure their children ultimate and complete recovery from it. "Now another hand than mine Soon shall train the trellised vine, Alien eyes shalt watch unfold Buds of crimson and of gold. Oh, little home—how well I know That no one else can love you so!" —Edith D. Osborne, in the Woman's Magazine. There are, however, some things which must be borne in mind if this happy conclusion is to be reached on behalf of the little sufferers, and it is those things which I would like to es- pecially stress now. In the first place, speed is essential in diagnosis and in giving treatment. Every moment of delay in calling the family physician when suspicious symptoms manifest themselves, is a moment of added danger: If you would save the life of a sufferer from infan- tile paralysis, you must call in the doc- tor early. Delay is fatal. In order that you may understand why this is the case, let nee tell you something about the disease. It is caused by an "I am going to the ball game." "What fat?" "Just to kill time." "Why waste your,ammunition when the umpire 'is there?" In a small village in Ireland the mother of a soldier met the village priest, who, asked her if she had bad news. "Sure, I have," she said, "Pat has been killed." "Oh, I am very sorry," said the priest. "Did you re- ceive word from the War Office?' "No," she said, "I received, word from himself." The priest looked perplexed and said, "But how is that?" "Sure," she said, "here is the letter. Read it yourself." The letter said:— "Dear Mother, I am now In the Holy Land," - Doctors Don't Like Aircraft While the man in the street sees only cause for congratulation in the way in which aircraft are now annihi- lating distance, medical experts are becoming a little alarmed at it. They are pointing out that transport so rapid as this is destroying one of the safeguards against the spread of disease. Por instance, two of the most dan- gerous diseases of the East plague and cholera—are now held in check by the efforts of health authorities at the world's ports. If a man infected by either of these diseases boards a steamer, the trouble has developed during the voyage sufficiently to en- able it to be recognized, and the port authorities can take the necessary steps. • Bit aircraft are quicker—and an infected man 'may land in a new country before the ..disease has de- veloped. Another clanger is that mosquitoes, bearing the germs of Malaria or yel- low fever, may "stow away" on an aeroplane and be carried from one part of the world to another by air.
