November, 1927 The Health Bulletin Children grow stronger on milk than they do on coffee. Who was it that spread flu today? Not I. Who opened up his mouth and sneezed? Not I. Who spat upon the prone and passive ground The seeds of human pain? In truth, not I! An epidemic, with its whirlwind sword, Must first be loosed upon the passing horde By one who's wide of mouth and blind of eye And hard of heart!—How long, how long, O Lord? Those who cough, sneeze and expectorate without shielding their face are responsible for infectious diseases. NORMAL AVEIGHT CHILDREN DO HAVE TUBERCULOSIS BUT OH! YOU UNDERWEIGHTS In Dr. Hudson's paper printed elsewhere, the percentages given show the following facts: Normally nourished children do have tuberculosis but only one case was found out of 276 normal weight children examined. There were twenty times as many children who had tuberculosis in the ten to fourteen per cent underweights and the number inci'eased consistently until those 25 per cent and over showed thirty-five times as many cases of tuberculosis as the normal group and this is only half as man}' cases as found in the 25 per cent and over underweights in the work of the National Tuberculosis Association in Cattaraugus County, New York. BOW LEGS AND KNOCK-KNEES There is no need for a child to be bow-legged or knock-kneed. It is a matter of faulty nutrition. Any good doctor can give the parent proper directions about this and the specialists in the disease of children, who call themselves Pediatrists, are esi)ecially keen on this thing. Take your child to your physician for examination every six months. THE WOMEN'S CLUBS OF NORTH CAROLINA are using their powerful influence in the fight against tuberculosis. The State Federation has a sub-department of tuberculosis and Mrs. Charles R. Whitaker of Southern Pines is the efficient State Chairman. Each and every local club has a chairman of health and this chairman and her committee study the subject and present programs at stated intervals. Among other visible concrete things done by the local clubs through their chairman and committee, is the sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals, from Thanksgiving to Christmas. They have been quite successful with this, and with the 75 per cent left in their hands have done many worthwhile things. The Raleigh Woman's Club has conducted the annual seal sale from the beginning. Among the many worthwhile things they have done with the money derived from the seal sale are: Establish the first tuberculosis clinic in Raleigh. Establish public health nursing in Raleigh, which was at the same time the first public health nursing ever done in North Carolina, and which was the forerunner of the establishment of public health nursing in the State with a state director at its head under and financed by the North Carolina Tuberculosis Association. The Raleigh Woman's Club is now financing a large number of patients at the State Sanatorium. The Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Sale the first year brought in $3,000.00; in 1926 it brought in more than five million dollars. The first flight to Europe was made under prohibition. The National Tuberculosis Association is doing one of the finest pieces of cooperative research ever known. Thirteen university laboratories, the United States Laboratory of Hygiene, the laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture, and two commercial laboratories are all working on the tubercle bacillus in an effort to find a cure for tuberculosis,—all financed by the sale of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals.
