mphe ftpad 9 &| 1 tip % ea By Dr. \V. J. Scholes (Copyright 1926, by the Bonnet- Brown Corporation, Chicago.) A Warning to Motorists! All the death* caused by automo biles are not due to reckless driving walking. Each year a or to jay large number of people lose their live« by poisoning from automobile exhaust gas. Carbon monoxide, a product of incomplete combustion, is responsible for the poisoning, which is the same that caused by the inhalation of il as lumination gas or coal gas. Many people who know that illum inating gas and coal gas are danger ous, aeem to be unaware of the dan gers of inhaling automobile exhaust And this in spite of the number gas. of deaths from this cause reported in the newspapers each year. « The story of most of these tragedies is essentially the same. The victim has gone into the garage—usually a one or two-car private garage—and started the motor of his car. He has neglected to open the doors of the garage. He has remained in the clos ed, unventilated garage for a few minutes tinkering with the car while the motor was running. In the mean time the concentration of carbon mon oxide in the air has been increasing to dangerous proportions. Gas Not Preceptible Now carbon monoxide gas cannot be seen. It has no odor or taste. One does not know that he is getting a dose until symptoms of i poisonous poisoning develop. And there uymp -1 toms are perhaps not long in develop They are headache, dizziness, j difficult breathing, a feeling of sick at the stomach. Yet they are all symptoms that may be caused by other things. But when the occur under conditions in 'which poisoning is likely, no time should be lost in getting into the open air. If heeds the symptoms and gets out of doors while he is still able to, he If he ignores the - mg. ness one may soon recover, warning symptoms, he may soon be. come unconscious. It seems likely, that in many instances, unconscious must have occurred so rapidly ness that the victim did not have timf to escape. If one is overcome by automobile exhaust gas while in a public garage, he may be fortunate enough to receive help before be is too severely poisoned to recover. But the plight of the per who is overcome in a private garage is rarely discovered until it is too late. First aid to victims of gas poisoning consists in immediate removal to the fresh air and in giving artificial res piration, such as is given to persons who have drowned. The patient should be covered with a blanket in order to avoid chilling. A physican should be called, as additional treat ment for the after -affect* of the pois oning is often necessary. The way to avoid poisoning from automobile exhaust gas is to insure a plentiful supply of fresh sir by open ing the doors of the garage before starting the motor. This is one kiwi of death that can be avoided with a little care. son * QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Infection—and Probably Diabetes Mont write«: "An elderly perron had boil«. If the discharge from the boils touched healthy «kin, a new boil started. Eight years later the same person had sores on the legs and hands, and also complained of a sore feeling at the angles of the mouth. Was troubled with bad breath and coughed frequently. What do these symptoms indicate!" Reply—A positive diagnosis could not be made without a careful exam ine tior. Boils are due to infection of the skin. People who have infected tonsils, bronchi and nasal sinuses are sometimes very susceptible to boils. Boils and other infections readily oc cur in those who have diabetes. The bad breath may have resulted from a diseased mouth or throat, chronic catarrh, bronchitis, or indigestion and constipation. The cough may have resumed from irritation of the throat, bronchitis or congestion due to a weakened heart. Running Ear Mrs. L. P. B. write*: "Last winter my son had a very bad sore throat. When he was getting over the sore throat he had trouble with both his ears. One of the ears gathered and broke. It ran for quite a while, then got all right, and he was not troubled with it all summer. Lately it has be gun to run again, and he has had a couple of spells of ear-ache, though not very bad. What can we do for hr Reply—Trouble with the ears may be serious and should not be neglected. If you have not already dona so, taka your son to your doctor.
