Whooping Cough.

A correspondent writes, will you
not give your readers an article on
whooping cough, stating what it is,
and whether there is any known rem.
edy."
The disease is a peculiar form of bron-
chitis, attended, in it's first stage, with
some fever, and. in the second, with
spasms of the CLOTHS, the vocal cords in
the upper part of the larynx. 1t Is
highly infectious, and since few chill
dren escape it, and it generally destroys
ones susceptibility to a second attack, il
is largely confined to childhood.
At the commencement it resembles 6
hard cold, but the acts of coughing are
more violent, and last longer. Al
length-it may be in two or three days,
or in as many weeks-the spasm of the
CLOTHS are developed, and the well.
know whoop settles it's real character.
The whoop is due to the fact that il
is impossible to take breath during the
rapid coughing, and hence, on its ceas.
ing, there is a long and labored inrusE
of air.
Moreover, as the blood cannot freely
enter the lungs during the paroxysm
the impeded blood causes the veins oil
the neck to swell out, gives to the face
a livid look, and sometimes occasions
various hemorrhages-of the nose,
stomach and lungs. But there is no
danger of the patients dying of suffoca'
ton as is so often feared.
The disease may be quite mild, OF
very severe. Occasionally the patient
gets well in a few days without any
medical aid. But generally the disease
lasts six weeks. Sometimes when neg
lected, it runs on many months. As a
rule, the paroxysms gradually become
less severe and frequent, and then
cease; though for a time an ordinary
cold will be attended with a whoop.
The most that medicine can do is to
paliate the symptoms, and short
en- the duration of the disease.
Alum acts well on the infiamed bron-
chial tube; belladonna on the sirrltated
nerves that cause the spasms of the
CLOTHS. A doctor must be consulted
for the more dangerous but efficacious
remedies. No one medicine meets each
case, nor any case In all it's symptoms
and stages.
The only wise course is TO employ ar
intelligent physician who can study It's
peculiarities and watch its tendencies.
This is the most important since there
is always danger of grave complications
acute bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy
and other lung difficulties. 1t is thus
indirectly, often fatal.
Unless where there is serious compli.
cation, it is best to have the child a:
much as possible out of doors. TIL.
diet should be nutritious. This should
be looked after more carefully if the
child vomits much. Food should bt
given often, and as early as possible
before an expected paroxysm.-Youthi
