the Village Chest what coin they can command, mid still are

Personal Health Service
l By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
. -t i NoUd Phytlcian and Author
Strictly
In endeavoring to account for the
reul or apparent increa.se in the prev
alence of cardiovascular disease tho
other day (heart artery wearing out)
I said that the chief xauae of cardio
vascular discRHC are
of an individual na
ture and that public
health author! ties
do not interest tho
individual in his
porsonal hypione. In
order to illuHtratc
whut I mean let. me
cito two. recent ex
amples of advice of
fered the public by
health authorities:
Novo mber 15th,
11)23, tho health
commissioner of New York gave this
advice:
"Commandmonts to mothers . who
would protect their children from
taking colds:
"iiewarb of damp feet.
"Hhun excessive clothing. -
"Give hot baths twico a week at
night.
"Ventilate bedrooms and living
rooms.
"Avoid drafts.
"Provide moro oil and fat In soups
with meat base.
"ITse good plain food.
"Let children sleep 10 hours at
IeaHt.
Pci'bonal
"Give children plenty of light while
doing home work."
I submit that to tell people to ven
tilate rooms, and in the same breath
to warn them to avoid drafts, is. sim
ply chin wagging and can do only
harm, because people are willing to
concede that ventilation is sufficient
anyhow and they already have an
overweening fear of drafts which
incidentally never do any harm.
Hut tho main fault I find with the
New York health commissioner's at
tempt to teach personal hygiene is in
what he failed to say. He failed to
say a single word about the very nub
of tho question of the communicabil
ity of tho diseases termed "coldB." Not
a word about muzzling coughs and
sneezes or keeping away from persona
who are coughing or sneezing or run
ning at the nose.
In April, 1 122, the health commis
sioner of Buffalo issued this advice to
the public: .
"This is the weather to got colds,
bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza.
"If you get your feet wet, take a
hot mustard foot bath and a hot drink
which means hot water as hot as you
can stand it' with either lemon, orange
or grape juice In it, and go to bed.
"In the month of March we had
more cases of pneumonia, lobar pneu
monia, bronchitis and influenza re
ported", with incidental deaths, than
wo had for a long, long time."
So be careful, don't get your fV I taw i.rldeo. llavo not as ,yo, ,
.. ..... .1 t,...., n... ,... i-usj&d the. question or tn . donnr',
wet, if you live in Buffalo. But if you
live beyond the ;ininiediate control of
uA -D.. train health rinnnrtmant. in the
absence of any specific direction for
such cases.. I'd say in a General way
just be careful that your friends or
associates do not splash in your face
when they're sneezing, coughing or
talking within four foet from your in
take. . . - -
QVESTIOXS AND 'ANSWERS
i . .Foolish Maiden .
A number of years ago. tho very
younjr, I hnd faint lines from noBe to
mouth and foolishly had paraffin-injected,
with the result that it hus loft
my face with a lump on each side.
I consulted a supposedly reliable phy
slclan and surgeon, but he informed
mo he would not attempt to do any
thing, as tho paraffin has spread and
is In very small pieces all thru the
flesh. But before giving up I decided
to ask you. .-.'.. - -
Answer. It is a very difficult thing
to remove paraffin .from the .tissues,
and even if it had to bo done (as is
sometimes the case when a -cancerous
condition follows the prolonged ft rita
tlon), considerable scar is likely tt; be
left.,.. The injection of paraffin Jor
"beauty" purposes alone should bv
classified with the practice of tattoo
ing. Either of these operations may of
course sorve a useful purpose in thea
hands of a competent surgeon.

What sum is considered a reason-'

tion? . Would you favor having such
an operation before a clinic?- Follow

I have several teeth extracted. That
