Health is a condition of physical ~well-being that comes to those who 1 are free from physical defects and who 'follow the simple rules of hygienic . living ‘ ‘No Child Need Die of Diphtheria In Canada, during the year 1926, there occurred 922 deaths from Diph- theria. This represents a tremendous amount of suffering, both bodily and mental, the loss of precious lives, and the physical damaging of many that lrecovered; in addition, the resultant expense might be mentioned. This is a deplorable condition when I, it is realized that we know as much a- bout Diphtheria than we do of any other disease. The germ that causes it is known. its method of spread is understood, there is a specific cure for it and, best of all, there is a satisfact- ory and effective means of prevention. At the close of the course a supperl was held, at which the members and their friends spent a very enjoyable. evening. At the close of the supper an address to Miss Alexander was read by Miss M. Meek, expressing in part the appreciation of the members lfor her uneasing energy during the class. Mrs. Hood then presented her with a Boston bag, a token from the class. After Miss Alexander expressâ€" .ed her sincere thanks Mrs. Hood exâ€" tended an invitation to the Victoria Square members to join them in their cooking course at Buttonv’ille, beginnâ€" ing February 27th. The gathering then broke up but the facts instilled in the minds of many of our ladies will be of benefit to the community in the future. Again, there are those who miss the happiness that; comes with health and yet are free from any physical blemi- sh. These are the people who are not following the simple rules of hygienic living. We cannot rob our bodies of rest, fresh air or proper food and con- tinue to have health. Health It is often difficult to give a meanâ€" ing to words which we use every day. One of these words is “Health.” We say that we are healthy and yet, when asked to explain what we mean, we likely find it almost impossible to put our meaning into words. In the first place, when we are healâ€" thy we are free from any obvious dis- ease. That perhaps is the commonest idea of health. As long as an individ- ual goes about his work and does not complain, he is thought of as healthy. The question that naturally arises is that if such be the case, why do so many cases and deaths continue to oc- cur? The answer to this question is that whilst we have a. cure and a pre- ventive, they are not being used by February Meeting J.W.I. The February meeting of the Junior Women’s Institute will be held on Saturday, February 11th at the home of Miss Vera Nichols. The address As a matter of fact, such people are not necessarily healthy in anything like the full meaning of the word. Freedom from actual disease is desirâ€" able, but health is far more than that. Health is something positive, some- thing that brings happiness to us. The person with health faces the day’s work with confidence, finds pleasure in his occupation, is able to do better work, and can fully enjoy the hours of relaxation. It is surprising the number of peop- le who spend a more or less miserable life, unable to accomplish the things of which they are capable because they have not health. These same people are surprised when, on a medi- cal examination, they learn that there is something wrong with their bodies, something not perhaps serious enough to cause death, but sufficient to handiâ€" cap them in their daily life and per- haps, to make them grow prematurely old. A very succesful course in Home Nursing was concluded: in the Public Hall on Friday, February 3rd. Throughout the entire two weeks the average attendance approached forty and the final membership roll consist- ed of fifty six names. The presence of many of the older members of the neighbourhood and of the members of Buttonville institute, was very much appreciated. Interest was stimulated by a First Aid and Bandaging class attended by both ladies and men whi- ch Was held on Tuesday night. Miss Alexander gave to the class a splendid instruction and in a most attractive manner Successful Home Nursing Course Concludes at Victoria Square Canadian ?Medical Association Presentation To Retiring Member of Choir HEALTH SERVICE OF THE HeaVy Rubbers. in laced style, from $3.00 to $5.50.

Injections of diphtheria toxoid (An- atoxine-Ramon) or of toxinantitoxin will develop, in the individual injected, a resistance to Diphtheria (immunity) similar to the resistance developed a- mongst those Who recover from an at- tack of the disease. As Diphtheria deaths occur chiefly amongst children of preâ€"school age, these children should be immunized or protected a- gainst Diphtheria. Diphtheria can be stamped out by immunization. No cases or deaths will occur amongst those immunized. Diphtheria antitoxin is a specific cure if given, in sufficient amount, on the first day of the disease. Deaths occur when this is not done. Cure deâ€" pends upon securing prompt treat- ment. The usual reason for delay is that parents wait until to-morrow to see if the child is better before calling the doctor. We shall hope that since their knew home is not so far distant we may of- ten see the family in the neighbour- hood at a future date.

Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not be answered. ‘ » We, the members and friends of the choir meet to-night in honour of you and your family, to try to Show to you our appreciation of your help and kindness in our community and church.
