MumpS.

Mumps, or parotitis, as the doc
tors call it, because the parotid
gland is the one to be affected, is
an extremely contagious, and a dis
agreeable but not at all dangerous
disease. When it attacks children
the symptoms are likely to be mild,
the child playing round and making
few complaints of discomfort. When
an adult is the victim. the symptoms
are likely to be much more severe.
1t is most frequently seen between
the ages of four and fourteen years.
Its great contagiousness is seen in
the fact that the infection may be
conveyed by third person, the pa
tient having had no personal con-
tact with a sufferer from mumps.
Cold, damp weather IS favorable to
an epidemic, especially among peO-
ME who hve in badly ventilated
houses and sleep in st0fy bedrooms.
Those unfortunate people, mouth
breaihers, who seem to pay the
price for their physical wrong do
ing in so many ways, are said TO be
more likely to suffer from mumps
than are those who breathe properly
with closed lips, aud ibis is very
probably The fact,
Although it is known that mumps $
must be caused by a germ, the par
ticular germ has not yet been dis
covered.
The woFd parotid is derived from
the Greek, and means smear the
ear" This gland begins near the
front of the ear and runs down the
lower jaw. When a person is ain
for mumps" the first symptoms may
be swelling IN this gland, although
In many Ses there are preliminary
symptF .ch as slight rise in
temperature, with headache and a
feeling of general discomfort and
illness. In this stage the diagnosis
will be in doubt, but the doubt will
soon be dissolved by pain and stiff
ness localizing in the angle of The
Jaw below the ear, accompanied by
swelling of the entire gland.
In many cases the lett side Is the
first to be affected, the right side
following in from twenty-four to-
thirty-six hours. By this time the
sufferer is not only in a state of con-
siderable discomfort, but IS also
rather comically dis6gnred by the
tremendous swelling of the lower
part Of the face. He also has q
good deal of pain radiating toward
the ear, cannot open his mouth more
than half an inch, cannot chew, and
can hardly swallow or speak. Pres
emily the gland first affected begins
to go back to its normal size, and
In week or ten days the attack is
over.
There is not much 10 do in the
way of treatment. AS long as there
Is fever the patient should be keps
In bed, and In the house until the
swelling has quite disappeared. The
diet should be fluid, because it caus,

The HumOr of Railroad Bonds.

Since the railroad bonds have
been compromised, and we have
realized that we are paying them
off without bankrupting the county,
as was predicted by many persons,
there have come to be some humor
Gus phases of the hard, dark times
through which we passed while we
were being harassed over the various
matters arising from these bonds.
1t will therefore be seen that Mr..
Otto A. Rothert is opportune in his
article vSomc Side Lights on the
Old Railroad Bonds" which ap-
pears in this issue, and which will
be read with much interest by all
who are familiar with the olden
times, as we'll as by those who are
unfamiliar with the matter. Mr..
Rothert has written much about
Muhlenberg, where he has land in
terests, and where spends consider
able of his time with our people.
During the past five years Mr..
Rothert has spent more or less time
compiling the traditions and history
of Muhlenberg county. Much of
his material has been printed in
THE RECORD. These sketches, with
others on which he is now working,
will, in year or two, be published
in book form. Mr.. Rothert will ap-
preciate any information given him
relative to any early people or events
of the county. He will be glad to
look over any old letters, news
paper clippings, etc submitted to
him and will return all such papers
to the lenders.
Mr.. Rothert is also making a study
of the remains of the Indians and
Moundbuilders in the county, and
will be glad TO have his attention
called to any mounds, Indian relics
or other evidences of prehistoric
men in Muhlenberg. Preparatory
to writing on this subject he not
only wishes TO personally view the
various known mounds and examine
the lndian relics that have been
found, but is also gathering Muh-
