THE CHILD WITH THE GROUP
Care and Cure of the Child Affected with this
Dangerous and General Complaint

into the throat, and provides an open
ing sufficiently large to admit the air
into the lungs. 1t is great improve
ment upon the other method, as it does
not necessitate cutting through and
opening the wind-pipe, thus making a
wound which must be dealt with after
the trouble is over.
None of the different kinds of Group
occur much earlier than six months, and
the croupy child outgrows it and gen
orally leaves it behind soon after he is
five years old
A child with tendency to Group
needs especial care to get in a condi-
ton in which it will not easily Weld to
attacks. Catching cold is the great
cause , OF Group. The child exposed to
draughts, which often occur without
the mothers thinking of it, as when the
child stands long at window in cold
weather, or creeps about the floor where
cold air comes in under the doors, may
have an attack of Group. A child with
a catarrh of the nose is likely to be
croupy, or if the throat is unhealthy, or
If the growths called "adenoids" are
present.
Preventative Measures
In short, when child has a tendency
to Group there is reason for it which
should be sought and measures taken
to strengthen the child in the weak
points, so as to avoid such attacks.
Sponging the neck and throat with cold
water has been recommended and found
useful. The child's digestion should be
watched. Especially should it avoid at
night indigestible food.
old-Fashioned Effective Methods
From what has been said in the de-
scription of the different forms of Group,
it will be seen that all measures of relief
should be directed toward clearing the
larynx of the accumulation of catarrhal
secretions. The old-fashioned idea was
to make the child vor1it, and | think
that it has value, in spite of what some
of the modern writer's say. If the men,
brane has formed quickly and the child
is blue from lack Of air, one should not
stop to make the child vonit by means
OF medicine, but tickle the throat with
q feather or spoon, Or introduce the
finger.

In flowers we have quite a variety,
but roses, violets and other small BIOS
SONS are favored. Recently roses made
of ribbon or silk grenadine have been
adopted, and have given lis some of the
most beautiful effects, combined with
great durability and good style.
AS effective trimming as possible is
achieved when the mourning hat is
adorned with made wings, flowers or
bows fashioned of the materials used in
the hat. Ornaments are sparingly used,
and are almost invariably of dull finished
jet or enamel, or are crepe-covered
Bearing these facts in mind, we need
only abide by one simple rule-mourn-
ing millinery should be simply trimmed,
although the workmanship may be elab-
crate and the materials rich in quality.
Correct mourning millinery is compact,
and always put together with the great
est care and reatness.
Choice OF Materials
In materials choose only the water
PROCEED varieties The test is easily
made by ilnmersing a small piece of the
goods in glass of water Moisture
must not remove the crimp from crepe
or the finish from grenadine, or cause
the dye to run.
1t is well to know the rules govern
ing the length of time one must wear
mourning, and to remember that in as
Stunning it, we also assume some obliga-
tons. Wearers of deep mourning must
not lay themselves liable to criticism by

Removing superfuous Hair
In times past | have given formulas
for the removal of superfuous hairs
with directions how to use them; but
in the light of experience / do not now
think it wise to do so, as allS depila-
tories act by burning action on the
skin, and unless used with greatest care
they are liable to cause injury.
Electricity is the best means of re-
moving superhuous hairs if they are
scattered and are coarse, but if there
are many fine fuzzy hairs it is not
we'll to use it, as it promotes the growth
of these, and it is long, painful, tedious
process that one has to go through be-
fore the face is cleared of its hairy
growth Therefore, electricity should
only be used in those cases in which,
except for. the coarse hairs, there is
no tendency to hairy growth on the
face.
Dangers of Electricity
If it is decided to employ electricity,
be sure that the one to whom you 20
for it understands the business thor
oughly; if not, the result will not be
successful. A tiny needle must be in
PRODUCED into the root of each hair,
then the electricity is applied and the
root is destroyed. If the needle does
not enter the hair foIlicle exactly the
tricity is applied too strongly or for
too long time, the result will be a
scar.

sMfM rected to this disease the last
" decade than almost any other.
"a ' IA" 1t is the disease which has
claimed the greatest number of lives in
civilized communities, and its stamping
out will be the result of well-directed
individual effort, Hitherto consumption
was considered an iacurable disease, but
recent years have led to the understand
ing of its causes, and shown the means
of preventing, and in many instances
of curing, it.
1t is caused by germ which Koch
discovered twenty-five years ago. The
tubercle bacillus exists in countless mil
lions in a person who has consumption.
IL these can be prevented from reach
ing others the disease can be kept in
check. These germs. can only spread
when in dry state. 1t is, therefore,
in dust that they are scattered abroad.
This gives the key to the prevention of
the disease. When constructive coughs
he should keep handkerchief before
his mouth, for it is then he expels enor-
nous numbers of the germs.
He should use paper napkins or
cheese-cloth squares, which can be
burned after using. If handkerchiefs
are used, they should be put into a
disinfecting fluid at once and not al
lowed to remain in dried condition.
Rooms occupied by consumptives should
be swept after sprinlsling the floors or
carpets so that no dust can rise.
Curtains and furniture should be
wiped off with damp cloths. All ex-
pectorations should be made in re-
ceptacles in which is some water or
disinfecting fluid Small TASKS come for
the purpose, which can be carried con-
cealed in handkerchiefs, when a con-
sumptive goes from home. 1t is moth
ing short of criminal for consumptive
to expectorate in the street.
Other Causes Of Consumption
Heredity formerly was considered a
prominent cause. The part heredity
plays is to afford a good soil for the

the hoarse, barking cough and the la

sound the alarm, and that she must bat
tie with the dread disease.
Group is inflammation of the larynx.
There are several forms of the disease,
which are hard even for the doctor to
distinguish between in the beginning,
and the most frequent form is called
false Group. They are all characterized
by catarrh of the larynx, the membrane
OF which secretes discharge Indeed,
the trouble is generally Continuation
OF the cold from the nose to the throat
The inflammation irritates the vocal
chords and gives rise to the hoarse,
spasmodic cries which are characteristic
Of the disease, and the irritation which
keeps up the continuous and distressing
coughing This trouble affects the up
ger part OF the larynx, and is rarely, if
ever, fatal. There may be slight fever
with it.
Fatal Group
The true fatal form OF Group IS really
diphtheria of the larynx. The symp-
toms from the beginning are severe.
The mucous membrane of that part Of
the throat is swollen and inhained, and
a membrane is formed, and the child
will literally be choked to death if the
air passage is not opened The throat
is so small and narrow that it quickly
becomes blocked.
Before the days of antitoxin, deaths
from true Group were very frequent, but
r:e ravages of diphtheria have been
wonderfully lessened by the use of the
serum. In the olden times tracheoton1y
was practiced, by which is meant that a
slit was made in the throat and tube
introduced below the place where the
throat was stopped Up, through which
air could enter the lungs. Tracheotomy
was seldom performed early enough to
be of avail.
Ono Method Of Treatment
A procedure which has saved many
lives of children is called "intubation
Of the larynx." A metal tube is passed
