ISSUES MEASLES WARNING.
Health Department Shows Patient
Must Be Carefully Treated.

Although there are many cases Of mea-
sles in the District, the number of cases
and character of the disease are not such
as to cause general alarm, according to a
report issued by the District of Column
bia health department.
The report points out that. although
measles is too often spoken of as a trivial
ailment. the fact should not be over
looked that the percentage of mortality
caused by the disease may ne consider
able.
THE mortality of measles" states the
report, rs not altogether due to the dis
ease itself. but to complications gener-
ally connected with the respiratory sys-
TEN, the more common of which are
laryngitis. bronchitis and pneumonia To
avoid as much as possible the liability of
any of these complications. the patient
should in the first place be put to bed. no
matter how mild the attack may seem to
be. The room should be well ventilated
and, owing to the fact that the eyes are
sensitive and easily irritated during the
progress of the disease. they should be
protected from the light
