usher in the severe eases. The common
catarrhal symptoms are sneezing AMI
running at the nose, redness of the
eyes and lids, and cough. The throat
is red and the mucous membrane there
of is swollen. The symptoms increase
until the fourth day At that time or
a day later the rash begins to show.
The general symptoms do not absts
with the appearance of the rash, but
persist until the end of the fifth or
sixth day, when they lessen.
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids follow
often this disease. Those parts are
thus left less able to resist tubercIO-

Middle ear disease follows often the

sequel of measles.
If the child manifests measles that
child should be instantly quarantlned
to protect those who have not had the
disease. All possible precautions should
be taken against the spread of the ds'

protracted as that of scarlet fever

MEASLES.

Measles, called also morbilli and
Rubeola, is an acute, highly contagious
disease, characterized by catarrhal In
fammation of the upper air passages
and in the skin a rash accompanied by
a fever. The most significant nantes
tation is an Inflammation of the con-
junetiva or mucous membrane which is
the lining of the eye lid and eye ball.
Another valuable sign or symptom by
which it is recognized is the cough,
which has often been described as me-
tallie in character.
Tie disease was recognized as carry
as the ninth century by an Arabian
physician named Rhazes. 1t was con-
sidered a mild form of smallpox until
Sydenham separated them in the sew
enteenth century. 1t is often mistaken
for that disease to this day and emf
nent diagnosticians have had many
cases Of measles sent to smallpox hos
pitfalls because Of the similarity.
There is a tendency among those who
are not familiar with the danger OF
the disease to regard measles as a very
mild disorder. Such is not the case. As
a cause of death the disease ranks high
among the acute fevers of children,
chiefly because of the complications
which are prone to follow. Measles
is the beginning of many a case of con-
sumption, as it is called by many, tu-
berculosis as it is called by others. The
eases that ultimately terminate in con-
sumption or tuberculosis do so because
Of the failure to regard the disease
worthy of the vigorous treatment
which medical science is ready to fur
nish. It is a common saying that such
and such a child had measles and re-
covered without the aid of a physician.
ANY one who has heard the distressing
cough of a child in the eroupy stage
Of measles will admit that the best
possible treatment should be given
these little sufferers. Again, any
mother will tell you that the eyes of a
child that his measles need the care of
the physician. Many cases Of serious
eye disease takes its origin from an
untreated case of measles.
The liability to infection in measles
is almost universal in persons unpro-
teeted by a previous attack. While it
is a disease of childhood, unprotected
adults of all ages are attacked. With
in the first three months of life infants
are rarely attacked. Occasionally ex-
eeptions occur and infants of a month
or six weeks take the disease. Ocea-
sionally a mother with measles may
give birth to a child with the eruption
or the rash appearing in a few days.
