State Medicine One of the specters which cause some physicians to lie awake nights is that of state medicine, tried ex- tensively in some foreign countries but never granted a foothold here. It was one of the subjects to come under discussion at the meeting of medical leaders now being held in Chicago and has been thoroughly analyzed in the report of the com- mittee on the cost of medical care which reported its findings more than a year ago, As so often happens, however, forces over which no one seems to have any control have been brought into ac- tion during the last few years and some of these seem to be pushing the nation toward one or another varia- tion of state medicine. The first of these is much liked by the physicians. It consists of that Part of the relief system whereby the Public pays the biils for a doctor's treatment of private ills. Because it bridges the gap between performing the service and getting the money for it, this system has proved popular With the doctors. The second is the institution by the FERA of a medical and nursing serv- ice of its own. Every effort has been made to coordinate it with the activi- ties of private practitioners but no adjustment can be made between the fundamentals of public service as op- posed to private service. Since last dune, for example, 48,629 children have been immunized against small- pox and diphtheria, a fact which should cut down the incidence of these diseases in future years, Dur- ing the last year 114 additional nurses have been employed, bringing the total to 122. These, while they do not substitute for a doctor, reduce the need for a physician’s services by giv- ing advice on hygiene and other mat- ters. In addition, a rural bedside nursing service has been established, thus bringing help to persons who rarely see a doctor. This development has had its in- ception in two sources. One is the fact that @ large number of unem- Ployed nurses have needed jobs, the other is the need for service on the part of people who could not afford to pay for it. Another situation which soon will force action on @ unified basis is that presented by the spread of venereal disease. Reports received by the state health department indicate that the incidence of these infections has been increasing for several years. At a recent conference of health authori- ties it was suggested that a state- wide survey may be made and that a Tule may be adopted requiring physl- cal examinations of all persons on work relief. This is a public health problem which not only affects standards of the present but of the future. A way must be found to deal with it. ‘The result of these combined forces has been to begin the creation of a system of state medicine with indi- cations of continued pressure for its further development. The situation is one which may have far-reaching effects not only on the members of the medical profession but upon the public generally. Sales Tax for Schools If North Dakota is to have a sales tax, and it seems that it is, allocation of the money to our school system seems the proper thing. ‘The extent to which we have played the role of Uncle Sam's poor rela- tions is indicated by an analysis of the federal aid granted to our com- mon schools. There are 2,267 school districts in the state and of these 580 are or will be “on relief” by March 1, according to present data. From October 22 to January 1 the number of districts in this class was 383 and the number of teachers employed was 1,500. The latter received $221,767.20 from the government during that pe- riod. All told, the government will spend more than half a million dollars on our schools this year and still the |? problem will not have been met for| | ‘this sum does not include those dis- tricts in which warrants are being vegistered and cashed at a discount. It is rather obvious that the govern- ment cannot go on carrying this and ther burdens indefinitely. Its own deficit is rising steadily and the time Paust come soon when these exten- is ~lyious need and administration of the 9 [eve the experiment a trial sions of aid must be abandoned. Un- less we intend to give up the civic ghost altogether we must make pro- vision for our schools and this seems to be the time to do it.

Ordinarily, a member of the house would have no more chance of argu- ing with the speaker than a lawyer |would of disputing with a judge on his bench. The secret here is that, jin general orders, the speaker be- comes merely a member of the house which elected him and as such has no more privileges than any of his fellows. The term is used to designate the house committee of the whole in | which every legislator has opportunity to offer amendments to pending bills. In this manner, each has a voice in shaping the d of legislation.

The White House never said a word about how the NIRB had divided them, but it was widely published that the board had stood 5 to 2 against Roccevelt’s decision. So you could hardly blame the pres- ident, when Smith and Henderson were found in support of the cigarct code he wanted to sign, for giving it out that NIRB—Chairman Williams not voting—had stood 4 to 2 for the code. The actual vote was 2 to 2. It's a silly situation, but the net eitect of the statement is to give it to us on White House authority that the recommendations of Smith and Henderson carry equal weight with the votes of the other five. ight for investigation of the eral and political boss nocratic party is more than mn gesture.

TEA LEAF POULTICE FOR BURNS Popular magazines have recently described in the usual extravagant fashion the alleged discovery by a factory physician of the efficacy of tannic acid treatment for burns, The Pittsburgh Medical Review. May, 1890, contained a report of the effects of such treatment of burns. It gave simple instructions as follows: A five per cent solution is squeezed from a sponge over the denuded (raw) surface, which is then dressed with soft ointment (say soft paraffin, or as it is more commonly called in this country, Petrolatum or petroleum jelly) with or without tannin. Pain im- mediately abates, and the healing process is wonderfully rapid. The tannin (tannic acid) solution must, of course, be freshly ap- plied as often as the dressing is renewed. To that I would add the advice to renew or disturb the dressing ONLY when discomfort demands it. Once any burn, wound or raw surface is clean and in condition to heal, the Jess frequently it is dressed or handled or disturbed or moved unnecessarily, the more satisfactorily will it heal. Tannin or tannic acid is a strongly astringent brownish white shiny sub- stance obtained from nutgalls, sumac and tea. Coffee contains less tannic than tea. Tea or coffee made without boiling contains less tannin than do the same beverages after boiling. Moreover boiling drives off the pleasant aroma of coffee or of tea. That's why I say it is a crime to boil the coffee, and when you smell coffee before you get down to breakfast the cook should be sentenced forthwith. Tannin is not bitter at all, but. oh, gosh, how it does pucker up things and harden your insides. uble in warm water as it is in boil- ing water. ‘Way back in 1871, Dr. W. H. Searles, Warsaw, Wisconsin, published in the Chicago Medical Examiner (April is- sue) his homely remedy for burns, reporting its successful use in the case of a child who had been terribly burned over the entire front of the body, arms and legs, by a kettle of hot water the child had upset upon itself. Dr. Searles prepared a large PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Letters should be brief and written in care of this newspaper. the sufferings abated and, without the use of any other anodyne, the child soon fell ihto a quiet sleep. In a few hours I removed the ap- Plication, and reapplied it where it was necessary. I found the parts dis- colored and apparently tanned. Ten- derness had nearly disappeared ... little patient made a good recovery in about three weeks. Since then on several occasions I have had reason to recommend tea leaves, till now I have come to prefer it to all other remedies in the first stage of burns and scalds .. .” I, (Old Doc Brady) suggest that the tea leaves be made into a poul- tice with BOILING water, rather than just bot water. Ordinary green tea is oke for such @ poultice, but black tea contains mere tannin and would probably be even better, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS English Bubble ita! are the original int flationists, Reading Dr. Brady says he can name PHGs who cannot read or write English. Of course I suppose he meant Amer- ican bred, Can you get a list of them for me? (H. G., Ph. G.) Answer—H. G., Ph. G., is one. I never said what he imputes to me. I repeat, any pharmacist who tells a customer he has never heard of iron and ammonium cannot read English. Pin Swallowed ‘Ten days ago our young daughter swallowed an ordinary pin. Should we try to locate it with X-ray? We live 16 miles from the nearest hospital ++. (Mrs, F. 8.) Answer—When a child accidentally swallows a foreign body the best course is as follows: Give no physic and no emetic. Instead, feed the child as much banana as he will take for Also give all the mashed potato or other vegetables chopped fine. The purpose of this is to sur- round the object in stomach or intes- tine with a mass of residue, so that it will pass through without injur- ing the mucous membrane. Usually the object passes naturally within 48 hours. Good Lad I wash my mother’s kitchen floor without shoes or stockings, sliding around the floor covered with soap and water. Is there any physical poultice of tea leaves, softening the leaves with hot water, and applied it while yet quite warm, upon cotton wool (I suggest that sterile gauze would be better) over the entire harm in this? (FP. A.) Answer—No. More boys should wash more kitchen floors for their mothers. (Copyright, 1935, John F.
