THE HEAX,TH BULLETIN 205 the various and sundry patent medicine advertisements that come his way. In a recent issue of this Bulletin, under the heading of "Sugar-Coated or in Solution," we called attention to the fact that a great number of patent medicines were being prepared and sold in liberal solutions of alcohol whereas these same medicines could just as well be put up in pill and tablet form and even sugar-coated, if so desired, were it not for the fact that they sell much better when put up in alcohol, in that way forming a substitute for whiskey. Now it appears that Uncle Sam will get a little rake-off through his internal revenue department from at least a few of the various medicines put up in alcoholic solutions. SIGXS WHICH CALL FOR PROMPT ATTENTION AND CAEE The following are conditions which should call for isolation and special attention in children who feel ill: A sore throat should make one think of scarlet fever or diphtheria; a persistent discharge from the nose, of diphtheria; a catarrh or cough with fever, of measles; vomiting with fever, of scarlet fever; weakness or lassitude in a child previously well, of diphtheria; a cough which comes in spells, of whooping-cough; a croupy cough, of laryngeal diphtheria; a rash on the skin, of measles, scarlet fever, rubella or chicken-pox. Call your doctor at once if you notice any of the above symptoms. "CARRIERS'^ "A Carrier" is a person who has recovered from typhoid fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis, or other communicable diseases, but still carries active germs of the disease in his nose, throat, intestinal or urinary tract, etc. Or, he may not have had the disease and yet harbors the germs as noted. The latter is specially dangerous because no one suspects him. The patient who has had the disease may be more easily followed up, tested and treated. Here the cooperation of the medical profession is most important. Such human carriers are constant sources of danger to the people with whom they associate, because they are apt to infect them through their hands, clothing, or other articles of contact —there is special danger that carriers may pollute food. It should not be forgotten in this connection that flies, fleas, mosquitoes, bedbugs, cockroaches and other insects, as well as rats and other animals, often act as carriers of contagious disease germs. THE TYPHOID STORY IN A NUTSHELL Typhoid fever is caused by the presence of minute plants, known as "typhoid germs," in the human body, and is "catching." Typhoid germs come from persons, and only from persons. Typhoid germs come from persons who suffer from typhoid fever and also from some persons who are in apparently good health. Typhoid germs are discharged from the bodies of infected persons in the excretions from the bowels and kidneys. Typhoid fever is preventable by practical measures which prevent human excreta from reaching human mouths. Proper disposal of human excreta will prevent not only typhoid fever, but also many other serious diseases, and constitutes, for any community, one of the best possible investments. "Are you unmarried?" inquired the census man. "Oh, dear, no," said the little lady, blushing; "I've never even been married."—Ladies' Home Journal.
