Show PHYSICIAN TALKS ON ONiE DISEASE iE AND HEALTH Dr A N X Hanson n Addresses Third Word Ward Parents Class Clare In First of Lecture Series The Third ward parents class was addressed ed yesterday by Dr A N Han Hanson Hanson Hanson son In the first of a series sedes of talks tulles on tho prevention of or disease or how to keep well ell This talk was wall in the nature of or an introduction of oC the general sub subject subject subject of ot health and disease tho the causes cau s of or each and especially tho the subject of or In Infection was ices WI explained in detail The Th various vallous kinds and forms of bacteria were mentioned and the part port each plays In the maintenance nanco of or health or the production of disease As S to the importance of or parents classes es Dr Hanson said he considered them one of or the most important important tant steps taken by the tho Church The questions of public and private into ate health ho he said are tho the thomoS most moS t vital questions r confronting civili civilization ration today Tho Tim magnitude of the question Is made manifest by the fact that It is a world wide movement to today today today day and Is International in its scope One of the most recent theories is that the decay dEen of or the great civilization of or ancient Greece G cc before the time Christian era was the ravages es among amon the people of or malaria And yet tho the people under understand understand stand very about the tho question of disease Fantastic takes take the time place of or exact information on near nearly nearly ly Iy all nil the phases of this subject By Infection the doctor said lalli Is meant the Invasion of or the body bod by b a parasitic organism the multiplication of oC which n tho tissues produces functional do de derangement Any An condition of the tho body wherein It varies from tho the normal Is disease This derangement is very gen generally generally generally but not always s caused by tho the minute organisms ol in tissues which are arc called bacteria These forms form of or bac bacteria bacteria bacteria teria that inhabit tissues aro ot or such minute size sire that they thoy arc are discovered only by the most powerful microscope and some as the one that causes cLuses tho the foot and mouth disease attacking sheep and cattle aro are Invisible to even the highest power microscope The organ orsan organism organism ism that causes cLuses is so small that when it Is magnified 1000 diameters diame diameters diameters it still looks like tho point paint of 01 a fair fall sized sired needle The doctor said mid that many ninny may won wonder dor dol what harm such minute organisms could do In bodies But ho declared that there thero was not one ono person in tho the room but whose bodies aro covered by hundreds of or billions of or these creatures But there are countless billions of or those these creatures In the world that do not cause disease Bacteria are divided Into two classes the tho disease producing germs gerns and the nonpathogenic In form and size and divergences the various kinds of or bacteria acteria l differ as much as do dothe tho the various arlous kinds of trees and shrubs in inthe Inthe inthe the world orld The doctor pointed out that bacteria are arc short lived and only grow well un under under der dor proper conditions Still If the prop er cloture Is present they multiply with witha I a rapidity that Is appalling For In Instance instance stance stanco the organism that causes tho puss In bolls hells when Implanted In a n good medium and kept at ret the body temperature for 24 hours ho would I Ido do develop elop somewhere between 1600 I and similar organisms organ L Jm e The Theor organism or n m of oC tuberculosis Is very slow In growth and antI would take weeks to pro produce duce duco du the z same number of germs as tho the pus PUB organism does docs In 24 2 hours Among the tho organisms that aro are not harmful the thc doctor pointed out the familiar phenomena of or decay There ore are very often germs gorm there thero that are not harmful to man The green matter that accompanies tho the appearance of or tho the head of o a boll boil is III not deadly but Is necessary t j tIn jin In lit tho the process of or decay eca So also aLo tho the or 01 organism organism that causes Cluses milk to go sour Our Moreover the taste in the butter and tn in cheese chee Is caused by organisms that aro are not Injurious In themselves to manThe man manThe manTho The Tho growth glOwth of tho the wheat of or the tho field and tho the carrots the growth of or the pota potato to of at the pine and of or tho oak and the time mightiest trees is due lue to bacterial activity ac activity activIty Various organisms have various vari various various ous functions Some are arc deadly to man and some are for his good The Tho question was asked by b one of the tho class when he was a boy bor ho used to skim off oft the mold that would appear on the top of or fruit put up In bottles and then cat eat the tho fruit Would you consid consider er that dl The Tho doc doctor doctor doctor tor answered that It was not disease producing that seldom do the or organisms organisms organisms that grow as no mold on fruit produce harmful substances There are arc as fig high as nn 20 billion billion yeast plants In this room this morning and we wo are constantly breathing bre thorn theta in inand Inand inand and throwing them out and are arc unharmed un unharmed harmed by them Yet expose in this room for a few fow hours some fruit juice juico and you will notice how ow soon Boon It will l work That working Is due to tho the tiny tin yeast plant he said Next week the tho doctor announced he would deal with specific infections ons and how to prevent them |
