PROMPT MEDICAL ADVICE AND TREATMENT. Health Notes by Dr. Alvah H. Dety. The Importance of prompt medical advice and treatment In the presence of disease and Injury Is bnt little ap preciated, and. In the light of onr pres ent knowledge of the prevention and treatment of disease, the most success ful results may be obtained If proper means are employed. On the other hand It would be difficult to overesti mate the loss of life and the number who are permanently Invalided or crip pled through neglect In this direction. The latter Is largely the result of what t h e t e l e p h o n e s e r v i c e in ENGLAND — CONTRAST WITH AMERICAN METHODS. (R e p rinted from the London (E n g land) Times M onday.

This practice Is aid ed and abetted by charlatans and man- | ufacturers of patent medicine who, with no scientific knowledge of the subject, prepare and offer for sale in numerable nostrums warranted to cure every III. it Is hardly necessary to state that almost every home contains some of them, particularly headache 1 powders or tablets. Those who use the latter know nothing of their com position and danger, for they are com j posed chiefly of coal tar products and 1 are extremely lepresslng to the heart. The more serious the disease the more numerous are the\ remedies offered for Its treatment. It may be very truthfully said that a person who treats himself employs a poor physi cian and usually suffers In conse quence. Today there are many dispensaries and various other means of securing medical advice and treatment for those who cannot afford to pay for It and there Is no good reason why at least those« who live In cities should parochial. They have realized that de fective telephonic communication Is, In every sense, bad business, and that the factors constituting good service, in the order of their Importance, are (1) si>eed and accuracy In securing connections; (2) volume and clearness of sound transmitted; and (3) cost They have realized that the money value of the time and temper wasted by the public over a bad service is a far more serious consideration than any reasonable charges Imposed for a good one, and they have therefore pro ceeded on the principle that speed and reliability are more Important than cheapness. Furthermore, Mr. Vail’s civic Ideals have been applied, with loyalty and enthusiasm, throughout. Esprit de corps, and a spirit of emula tion betwen exchanges, are encour aged to the utmost. One of the best features of the telephone business ns organized In America Is the public ap preciation of the staff’s keenness, Its “team work,\ and pride In efficiency. Under such conditions the public -- — ouvsuiu ; **'-**.* wzzv** uzv/zio wjc pULMlU not be able to secure the attention of service retains Its human Interest—no a physician If required. In close relation to home medication Is the misconception on tbe part of the public regarding the definition and use of disinfectants and deodorants. The function of a true disinfectant Is to destroy infectious germs and not odors, for even the most valuable disinfec tants cannot -e depended upon for this purpose. On the other hand deodorants are agents which neutralize offensive odors chiefly by chemical means, but cannot be depended upon to destroy Infectious germs. During recent years tjie public has gained some Information regarding the germ theory of Infectious disease, but It has been limited and has rather en couraged the .belief that Infection ex ists everywhere and that It is with great difficulty that we escape germs In their active state concealed in cloth ing, baggage, money, furniture, etc., and also In public places and convey ances. As a matter of fact, this con dition does not exist, and m? ny unnec essary and fldlculous means are taken by the public to prevent disease. This small factor In smooth working—and the \telephone habit’’ becomes easily explicable. In January, 1911, the number of telephones In New York was equal to the combined totals of London, Paris, and Berlin. * * * Failure of Government Control. In Great Britain the history of tele phone legislation has persistently re flected the vacillations of immature opinion, whilst the attitude of perma nent officials, of the Post Office, and the Treasury. The situation today Is the result of years of laisser-faire, Im providence, and vacillation. * * • Further causes of disorganization lie In the relaxation of discipline and es prit de corps consequent upon the transfer of the telephone company’s personnel to the Post Office; In the Jealousies and friction between old employees and new, all tending to im pair smooth working; above all, in the technical telephone staff’s recognition of the fact that under the cast-iron, water-tight compartment system of Post Office tradition there Is little or no scope for Intelligent Individual ini- Ask Your ST G R O C E R y for a bag of CHARCOAL » « U se it to kindle your Range and Furnace fires.
