k .S? fw study . New NZ ticularly proven a great stlik. /»‘<i / (, si s, ,f ' culosis legislation <lll**, I r'' t “''h'in / P il fettle. year. The National / '"’’c/jm, the Study and Prevention '<■ losis. in summarizing the *vi state legislatures during sessions, finds that out of 45 leAL' tures in session. 38 enacted culosis law's and 14 passed laws relat* ing to county tuberculosis hospitals. The only law-making bodies that failed to take action in this direction were those of Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico, Porto Rico, Utah, Hawaii and Nevada. The national association which is working with the council of national defense in fighting the spread of tuberculosis in the army, has contributed largely to this result by its vigorous propaganda, both directly and through the medium of its 1.500 affiliated state and local organizations. Believing that a fundamental of this military health campaign lies in effectual legislative protection of the nation’s homes, unusual effort in this direction has been made during the last year. Os particular importance, it is believed, in checking tuberculosis at its source is the establishment of a sufficient number of well regulated local tuberculosis hospitals to care for and segregate active cases. The number of county hospitals provided for during the year has. therefore, been especially gratifying to the workers. Most satisfactory to the national association of the laws passed in this connection is the New York State County Hospital War Emergency Measure, enacted at the instance of the state Charities' Aid association just before the legislature adjourned at Albany. This law provides that any county in the state not yet provided with a tuberculosis hospital which shall have failed to make such provision by January 1, 1918, shall no longer have option in the matter. The state department of health will be employed to step in and establish a hospital in the dilatory county and compel the county to pay the bill for building and supporting it. Os the eleven New York counties which have taken favorable action recently a large part were whipped into line by this law. Favorable legislation on county tuberculosis hospitals was also enacted in California, Florida, Illinois, lowa. Nebraska Delaware. Massachusetts, and Ohio. MUCH IMPROVED Said Mrs. Harrison —Ironated Herbs Restores Health. Anderson, Ind.,—“lf you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron—lronated Herbs with pepsin (in liquid form) — Just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt.” Following is the statement signed by Mrs. Elizabeth Harrison, who resides on R. R. 10, Anderson, where site is conducting a truck garden. In tier signed testimonial she said: "1 have been suffering for some time from a general run-down condition. Also had a bad attack of blood poison and was sick all the winter. I have tried a num ter of remedies, but none seemed to benefit me. I heard so much of this new medicine, Ironated Herbs, that I got a bottle and am delighted with the results. My appetite is improved, in I fact I am hungry all the time and am rapidly gaining strength and I eat and sleep much tetter and get up in the morning feeling refreshed.
