Columbia, Jan. 2--The epidemic of Spanish influenza which ravaged the state brought an estimated death list )f between 4,000 and 5,000 and the lumber of cases was between 150,000 tad 170,000, according to the rep t )f Capt. C. V. Akin, M. D., passed as ;istant surgeon, United States Pub ic Health Service, who had charge )f the epidemiological work in South arolina. The report is male to the executive committee of the State iealth board in connection with the lisease. There were actually report 3d 86,415 cases and 3,600 deaths. TIe reported deaths among the white people reached 1,395 and a moeg the tegroes they aggregated 2,205. Capt. Akin's report shows that the lisease first made its appearanic' in Abbeville County on September 21, 1918, and rapidly spread through the .ongested Piedmont section of the State, and thence throughout every >ther part of South Carolina. The Iisease reached its apex during Octo ber and began to recede duringi the irst week of November. The United States Public health Service employ d thirty physicians and the Ameri -an Red Cross furnished forty nurses :o light the disease and, says the re port, they saved thousands e lives. l'here were hundreds of volonteer workers in the field. Capt. Akin's Summary. In summing up the epidemic and he lessons to be learned by the peo Ile of the State, Capt. Akin said: "Nations and States and even in e will arrive to-mnorr( it improvement o~rth. .o.b. Sum Street Keep Well Do not allow the poisons of undigested food to accumulate in your bowels, where they are absorbed into your system. Indigestion,con stipation, headache, bad blood, and numerous other troubles are bound to follow. Keep your system clean, as thous ands of others do, by taking an occasional dose of the old, reliabh, veg etable, family liver medi cine. Thedford's Black- Draught Mrs. W. P. Pickle, of Rising Fawn, Ga., writes: "We have used Thed ford's Black-Draught as a family medicine. My mother-in-law could not take calomel as it seemed too strong for her, so she used Black-Drau lit as a mild laxative an liver regulator .. .We use it in the family and believe it is the best medicine for the liver made." Try it. Insist on the genuine Thedford's. 25c a pack age. E-75 [ividuals have always paid a heavy tribute for unpreparedness. The forty live counties in South Carolina fol lowed the long established precedent when stricken with the epidemic of influenza. More than 4,000 lives will have been wasted and untold -suffer ing experienced in vain if the people of this State do not make immediate and everlasting use of the terrible lesson so pointedly expressed by the helpless condition into which they were thrown when influenza struck a population 90 per cent of which was without adequate health organization. The necessity for eflicient county health units, so pressingly urged by the State health officer, must now be apparent to every citizen of South Carolina. When a nation is stricken each State must look out for itself, and when a State is helpless in the grip of disease each county must take care of its own problem. It is im possible to estimate the saving of life and needless suffering had each of the forty-five counties in South Carolina been properly equipped to combat in (luenza. It must not be forgotten that there are other disease conditions which menace the health of the people of this State and 'tomorrow' is not time to get ready to meet an :nemy, the appearance of which may not be definitely anticipated." >w, and ter
