December, 1948 The Health Bulletin 9 tic measures. This is seen in the need for proper diet as well as for careful management. This is equally disliked by both groups. Temperance and moderation in everything is not to be applied only to alcoholic beverages. It is equally as important that it be applied to eating, smoking, physical activities of all descriptions—in fact, to everything we do. As we grow older, this becomes increasingly important. What is the most difficult period of life? Most people always think they are living in the most difficult period of their lives, and think it throughout the entire life. For many, tomorrow is always the most difficult and yesterday was the worst. Why worry about difficult periods? Today is the most important period of life, so why should it be shunned? Live today knowing it is the most important day. But, how? Relax! That will help you do better work, more of it, and enjoy it. How is your health today? Not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but today. Of course, you do not procrastinate seeking needed medical care if it is needed. Almost all serious ailments were formerly much less serious and could have been corrected easily. Seek competent medical advice whenever needed and follow it. If you take good care of yourself until you are 65 years of age, the next 18 or 20 years will be surprisingly easy. Pactically as well as statistically you can establish your claim to this much good, active, satisfactory life and probably to several additional years. Aging is actual, active and permanent. Yet it is in aging that we see demonstrations of the finer points of differentiation between man and the lower animals as well as between various classes of humans. The person who ages gracefully and correctly is definitely due congratulations for having achieved the ultimate goal of his life as a member of the group Homo sapiens. Graceful and correct living and aging embodies not only ones opportunities and duties to himself but to his friends and neighbors as well. The individual who lives only for himself cannot live nor age correctly nor gracefully. Such qualities are not noticeable in a purely introspective existence. By all means live, but live so that you can grow old, as old as you wish. Do this by living gracefully and slowly. You will be surprised by how much better and more enjoyable it will be. Grow older, yes by all means grow and grow as much older as you can, but do not grow old until you have to. Youth is very fine in its place and everyone has a right to full enjoyment of youth. But after youth is gone greater possibilties of life unfold for every one who is interested and who can develop the proper philosophy of life. Childhood and youth are excellent training grounds for a really successful life,—and that is an essential goal in the life of every human being; else, why be a human? Omar Khayyam had a very clear conception of the proper philosophy of life with respect to aging when he wrote "Grow old [older] along with me, the best is yet to be." typhoid down but not out By Alfred Mordecai, M.D. City-County Health Dept. Winston-Salem, N. C. IT is not uncommon these days to hear the remark, that "typhoid fever has been wiped out." While this disease has been enor- mously reduced, it would be a grave mistake to assume that it has been eradicated, or even reduced beyond threat of danger. Nature still maintains
