DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1927.

“Your Health” This Column Is conducted by the Adame County Medical Society and the Indiana State Medical Association In the Interest of ths public's health. Sterilization Law Upheld The Virginia alate law which provides for sterilization of defectives through operative procedure and which wus upheld by the I'. S. Supreme Court is very similar to the law enacted by the Indiana Legislature of 1927. The chief criticism of both Virginia Law and the Indiana Law is that the principle, so clearly defined by the U. S. Supreme Court, falls when it Is applied only to the small number «f febleminded under the institutional cars and is net applied to the larger number outside of institutions. The opinion of the IT. S. Supreme Court which upheld the Virginia Ixiw was handed down in the case of Carrie Buck, a feeble-minded white woman in the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feeble-minded. Botulism Botulism is a rare form of foodpoisoning caused by the toxin of an organism known as Bacillus botulinus,

which is present in the food eaten by tlie patient. The disease is character-' ized by a painless, progressive paraly-l sis of the secretory and motor nerves of the autonomatic'system terminating in respiratoiy paralysis. The intoxication simulates to a certain extent poisoning by atrophine and wood alcohol. The disease is usually fatal because it is not recognized until paralysis has developed, after which treatment is probably useless. The symptoms of botulism first appear usually in the first twelve to twenty-four hours, and consist of gastro intestinal disturbance to be followed invariably in two or three days by obstinate constipation. There is no edema of the eyelids or face, no conpunctival catarrh, lachrymal secretion is arrested, there is ptosis of the lids, dilatation of the pupils, paralysis of both the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the eyes, with double vision. The pupils do npt respond to light. There may be weakening and incordination of the voluntary muscles of the neck anti limbs. The tongue becomes thick, saliva is mocous and tenacious, may be abundant and partially obstruct respiration. There is more or less paralysis of the throat, making speech and swaflowlhg difficut or impossible. Later on, respiration may be come entirely abdominal and when abdominal breathing fails, death occurs. The pulse is usually roman, but may be rapid. Respiratory rate increases as paralysis develops; temperature is normal or sub-normal at first, hut as pneumonia is a frequent sequel there may he a later rise in temperature. Thirst is moderate or absent. Sleep is usually restful there is rarely any pain any position is confortable. The general appearance of a person suffering with botulism is that of a life and deaeth struggle with the patient obviously on the losing aide.

In 191 S, there were seven cases reported from Decatur, Indiana with four death.

In 1926, a fatal case of botulism was

reported from Indiana. Since then, the state board of health has a quantity of anti-toxin of both types on hand to be available to any needing it. In case of need, on request wired to the state boar-1 of health, anti-toxin will be sent or taken any-where in the state. —Monthly Bulletin, Indiana State Board of Health.

He Was Constipated, • Bilious and Weak

Just Dragged Himself Around for Years. Perfectly Well Now.

“I suffered with stomach trouble and a torpid liver for ten years. My appetite was poor and I was troubled with frequent attacks of biliousness. My complexion was yellow, I was troubled with constipation and all run down. I just had no pep at all. I tried different medicines and nothing did me any good. Several friends recommended Viuna to me, so I tried it. After a couple of days I saw that at last I had found the medicine that I had been looking for. My appetite came back and the things I ate began to taste good to me. The bilious attacks stopped and my complexion began to clear up, so I kept right on, and now I feel fine. I ean eat anything, my constipation is gone, and for a man 63 years old, I am full of pep."— William Beal, 117 N. High St., Hartford City, Ind. Viuna acta promptly on alusglah bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys, it purifles the blood, clears the akin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then it you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Icelaud Medicine Co., Indlanapolla, Ind.
