IMMUNIZATIONS ©

WE'D like to believe that all evil is on the way out. Ina sense it
ig. On the other hand, the general evolution of things is constantly
bringing into view new evils or new aspects of evil, that we had not
formerly recognized. So, constent vigilance and continuous effort

are required to keep us relatively up to.date. These general obser-
vations apply to the health situation as neatly as though they were
made for it. hature itseif seems interested and persistant in "pur-
ging” those less fit, but its methods, while admittedly effective,

aré erude end expensive.

CONSIDER G)ALL POX. Nature will give you almost a life time immunity
Oy having it once, but at a cost in lives, up to forty percent of
these so inmunized, of painful illness of eround three days for each
immuno, and an everage loss of time--fourteen to twenty days. You
ean dDpy a satisfactory immunity in any doctor's office for a dollar

or two and a negligible illness of a day or two. This man made pre-
tection does not lest so long as the other and should be renewed avery
rew years, Why dontt you do it?

THINK OF DIPTHERIA, It was formerly the great killer of children,
Lawrence once had an epidemic of around two-hundred cases in a Quarter
ofa year or so and many children died. Under better methods of
treatment as now attainéd, more would survive, but under the present
day prectice of immunizing, practically no one ever gets ill with it.
Your physician will probably charge you around five dollars for such
immunizing end you should begin it when baby is about a half year old.
TYPHOID FEVER and the pseretyphoids should be rientione-. Formerly
called “traveler's disease", it wae the scourge of adolescents end
young adults. £8 soon as one beea me old enough to move a little out
of his home he was sure to be exposed to it. Sometimes it was brought
to him at home. It usually killed more soldiers than the enemy did.
All differant now. Improved sanitation helps amazingly, but the
bacterial vaccination is probably the mest important factor in the
improvement, It is usually done in three doses, has a high efficeincy
for four or five years, and should be repeated about that often or a
"booster" dose may be fiven each year,
