Copeland, MUD.,¢'! Comissioner of Health New York City.) re | How to Safeguard Othors Against Coughs and Oolds There is always a scientist ready |to investigate any human problem. | When once it is suggested that there |is a problem, the right man volun- |teers to solve it. i The other day I saw a newspaper | digpatch from Paris, telling of a! | meeting of the Academy of Sciences. ySermspraading was under discus- sion, and Profs. Seiffert and Trilla | reported the results of their exten- sive study of the subject. | According to their dbservationms, ||| | | | | when one speaks in an ordinary tone [ot voice, the particles of saliva are | projected from the mouth a distance of twelve to fifteen inches. Cough- ling, they say, will carry the mois- ture five feet, and sneezing will pro- ject the particles eleven or twelve | feet. | Every mouth and nose harbors the germs of disease. This is particu- | larly true, of course, when disease | |is present. A common cold, influen-! za, pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphth- | jeria and many of the other infec- | {tions cause the nasal and mouth se-! |cretions to swarm with germ life. | In discussing the emission of, | {these germ-carrying particles, Trilla! land Seiffert contend that after they! are projected to the limit or their travels they remain stationary in the air for five or six seconds. Then they glide slowly to the earth. Here the microbes dry up, but, like seeds, they will germinate immeddately when conditions are faverable. This {8 a very interesting report cn a very important subject. Sani- tarians and health officials have song contended that sneezing and cough- ing in public are dangerous acts. It is a common thing to have a man jarrested for shooting a pistol, but | you hardly protest if he sneezes in |¥cur face, really a muen more dan- | Berous procedure. { It is only by educating the pub- |lic to this danger that everybody | will come to understand the impor- | tance of guarding against what is | called "droplet infection," the infec- (tion carried by particles of sanva or nasal secretion. In many places [it is contrary to law to cough or sneeze without covering the face with a handkerchief. But laws are of little value un- less public opinion supports them. | We have laws against this particular levil and against smoking in street- {cars and subway trams, but until the public assists in their observance they will be broken frequently. ! There are not enough health in- spectors and policemen in any city on earth to catch every offender. Anyway, how much better it is 10 re- frain from these dangerous prac- | tices because they are dangerous {and not because they are unlawful. There is no doubt that one of the chief methods of couveylng eerfain | diseases is by the new: and mouth | secretions. Every effort must be {made to precent this evil. Sneezing or coughing behind the protection of the hand is not enough, because this creates another equally dangerous condition. The hand becomes con- taminated by the spray of moisture, and, in its turn, it carries the germ- | spreading material to another hand [or to some object which may convey | it to another person. | | "Phe secretions of the nose and! {mouth should be captured by the | handkerchief, which is to be boiled later, or by a square of gauze which | {will be burned. Care ofthis sort| | will- materially aid in the control of | {infections and contagious diseases. | | i | DRAWS $50,000 PRIZE IN A RUMMAGE SALE But a Little Red Ink Spoils the Whole Fortune Found. ------t Toronto, April 21.--Opening one cf the two leaf or steamer trunks whioh he had bought at the sale of unclaimed railway baggage yester- day for $6, a customer started back in amazement as bundles of Domin- fon of Canada Victory Bonds were brought to light.
