taxation from the people and was for
their benefit. 10 speaking on this mat

wHooPTNG COUGH.


Whooping-cough is one Of the most
fatal II the acute diseases affecting
children. Tue dsath-Fats is greater
than that from measles and scarlet
fever combised. II ls caused by germ
which 10 thrown from patients mouth
or nostrils In the act Of coughing. These
germs may be thrown directly into the
faces Of other children, or into the room,
where they will mix with dust, when The
sputum dries, and be inhaled.
The preyenation Of whooping cough
may be accomplished by isolating the
infected child until the symptoms OF
the disease disappear. This means IN
til the child has stopped coughing for
at least two or three weeks. The per-
iod Of isolation Is necessarily long be-
cause It requires from one or two weeks
10 sometimes two or three months for
whooping. cough to run Its course.
During the period Of isolation, II the
child 10 old, enough, he should be taught
to cough into paper napkin; other
wise the attendant should, whenever
possible, hold paper napkin in front
Of the coughing. The quarters occu-
pied by the child should contain as little
furniture as possible-certainly no car
pet-and should be cleaned frequently.
The clothing used by the chill and its
attendant should be disinfected In fiye
rer cent carbolic acid before being
placed in the general washing. All
handkerchiefs used by the child and all
execreta should be disin.ected. II strict
quarantine could be carried out, whoop-
ing -couVh could be practically eradi-
Gated. Aud quarantine must be de-
pended upon because at this time no
aulitoxin or vaccine of undouhted eifie-
iency has been effected from the efforts.
The high death rate Of whooping cough
renders this disease one Of the most i'm
portant Of children's disease, go much
go that every parent should take an
interest Ia the disease aud assist In its
eradication.
