Public Health Service Screens Planes For Mosquito Threats
In 1926 the Public Health Service tested whether mosquitoes from South America could enter the U S by air. Stained mosquitoes were released in planes, found 1200 miles from port, leading to stringent inspections, fumigation, and tracking of passengers for nine days to prevent yellow fever and other diseases. The program reduced epidemic risk despite infected regions along routes.

Public Health Advice on Black Eye Treatment
Doctors from the U S Public Health Service say if you get a black eye you should eat the beefsteak and apply a cold compress. They admit raw meat pressed on a black eye reduces swelling mainly because it is cool and moist, and warn that any cool moist item works, though cold compresses are more effective.
