Guarding Your Family's Health

The human family has dangerous enemies far too small to be seen without the aid of a powerful microscope. They are called the germs and the viruses. They are harmful and dangerous enemies that could spread very quickly and could cause epidemic disease known to man.

Most germs can grow in places that are warm and moist. On the human body, the germs can enter the creases of the skin, the palms of the hands, around the rectum and the genital areas. It is very important to wash our hands frequently, and bathe the whole body thoroughly every day. We should also be sure to clean our teeth and gums, brush them three times everyday.

Animals also carry disease germs. Mice and rats may spread dangerous germs, those that cause plague, typhus and many more. Flies carry many germs on their feet and bodies that cause typhoid, dysentery, diarrhea and other gastro-intestinal diseases. Even birds carry germs and viruses when they migrate from one place to the other.

Rotten garbage and clogged drains are the breeding places for diseases. Proper disposal of body wastes is one of the first laws of health.

Clean living is the first and most important step in the prevention of diseases.
