Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been restoring women to health who suffered from irregularities, displace ments, backaches, headaches, bearing; downpains,nervousnessor the blues. Today there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States wherein some woman does not reside who has been made well bv it. That is why Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for yuch ailments. ; aniined at clinics show Improvement by follow-up work. During the past year the former nurse, Mrs. I.ee nursed 29 patients during the Influenza epidemic at Hutte Falls. . The present nurse besan' her duties the 5th of June, 1921. One week in June was spent in Portland and salem visiting the various state institutions ! and relief 'organizations. " '! Personal visits wore made to all doc tors In the county. With the aid of the Red Cross and other' agencies, food, clothing and sup plies have been j?Ivcn to -20 Jaipllles. Tho Colony club lias promised to supply the Loan Closet-for one year. Visits have been made to all the packing houses where women are em ployed and recommendations made for bettw sanitation, first aid .supplies, sanitary serviettes, etc. In1 all in stances were the recommendations kindly received and Improvements made. Four layettes secured for expectant, mothers. Two days' spent at County Fair at Ashland where nurse had rest room and talked with mothers. J Two days spent at County School Fair in Medford where nurse had a rest room, distributed literature and gave a demonstration on the care of the baby's nursing bottle, showing the proper und Improper kind, etc, . Nurse attended tho conference at Portland July 1-2-3. This was the first annual conference of the public health workers of Oregon. Nurse attended n conference of the committee on health and hygiene held at Portland, Oct. 2. Tho meeting of this committee' was called by the O. S. T. A. During the past few months special stress has been laid upon the school work and the home follow-up work and thru the courtesy and interest of the Red Cross, the services of Miss Mar garet Van Scoyoc have been given to the Jackson County Public Health association, who in connection with her work in home nursing classes held thruout the county, has assisted the county nurse in the work in tho Ash land and Medford schools. Miss Van Scoyoo has done soriie very Intensive school and follow-up work, which her own report will Bhow Efforts have beet) made to, reach as many schools as possible, but owing to the trouble in the way of transporta tion, bad roads,, etc., this work has been somewhat retarded. , Whenever the nurse has visited a school inspection ot; the building, toi lets, the. lighting and heating system and the general condition of the school has been made and a report sent to the county superintendent of schools. An attempt has been made to establish the health crusade work, thereby in stilling in the minds of the children habits ot health and hygiene. Very good, results have been obtained in this respect, as reports from the county superintendent of schools and the county supervisor of schools and the various teachers, as well as from the parents of the' children show. Efforts have been made to reach, and bring any help possible to those in isolated districts who are ill or in any way needing the attention or the help of the nurse. '': ,j ' Owing to the confidential nature of the work of the nurse it is Impossible to give a full account of the work done, as the citing of cases would betray the very confidence she tries first of all to win and which brings her into the very position where she can best help them. i During the past year two patients have been placed in the T. B. San. at Salem. - One child has been taken'' from a home where . the parents were both mentally and physically unable to care for the child and placed In a good per manent home. , , Arrangements are under way where by two mentall ydeflclent children will be sent to" the Home for the Feeble Minded nt Salem. A permanent health centre has been established at Ashland where . the nurse meets with mothers once each month for weighing and measure of children and for consultation This completes the work of .the past year. . ' I wish at this time to express my appreciation to Miss Van Scoyoc for her splendid work and hearty co-opera tion in the school work, to the Red Cross for their assistance and interest thruout the year; to Miss Pool who has assisted with the nutrition work at the clinics and to the doctors who have given so freely of their time in the clinics, free examination and treat ment of patients, as well as to the var ious churches and individuals thruout the county. . ' During tho coming year we are look ing forward to a much wider field of usefulness' along the lines of public health. We are planning to open a public health centre in Medford. Also we feel the time has come when both Ash land and Medford are In need of a community nurse and we hope to bring (his about during the next few months. In the stress of hard times, which this Inst winter has brought to the different communities, there has been hmucht out tho need for a free bed In the various centres where hospitals are located and it is the hope of the association to plan some way whereby this can be accomplished. .

Held touk Jho second, and the third ,was about .cyen. Thep came tho fourth and a bloody ending for j Wild mil. In the third a stiff rlht swing had drawn a trickle of blood from Hold's left ear, and while the men were in a clinch near the ropes In the fourth, Heid suddenly dropped," his ' knees buckling as he crumpled to the floor At tho same Instant a gush of blood came from Wild Bill's injured car, What had happened was this: Held had dropped "out"- without 'a blow being struck.
