HEALTH OFFICER TELLS HOW
TO PREVENT WHOOPINC- COUCH

As whOOping cough and grippe seem
to be very generally prevalent in the
city. it becomes my duty as health Of
ficer TO warn the public Of the danger
Of letting children mingle together
when affected with either of these dis
eases
Most people regard whooping cough
as an inevitable disease of childhood
AID look on il as OF little consequence /;
but l. IS very serious disease, espe-
cially ". - very young children. The
danger frOL Il is that it predisposes
brOnchO pneL.iOnia and diarrhOea.
If the public would cooperate with
the health department and report all
cases, so the houses could be placard-
ed and carry out few rules and sug-
gestions given below the disease
would soon be under control.
DON'T SPREAD the disease. Pre-
vent IT by isolating the patient
The patient is source of infection
until the spasmodic cough is over.
An incubation period of. 1G days
must elapse before symptoms of the
cough may be considered as having
passed.
Patients may continue to spread in
lection for six weeks after apparent
recovery, q.
DON'T FORGET that whooping
cough should be reported.
Patients should be isolated.
Isolation need not include strict con-
finement to a room.
Patients do better out of doors, and
II permitted to take the air they must
avoid contact with other persons.
Patients must not go to school, the
alter, church, public assemblies, nor
ride in street cars or public convey
ances.
Children when out of doors shoulc
be accompanied by intelligent care
takers as a protection to others.
The safest course is to avoid infec
ton.
Children with whooping cough. who
are given their liberty. should be
plainly labeled with a red cross. or a
yellow flag, conspicuOusly displayed
on their clothing, to warn others.
Children under five require the
greatest protection and care.
DON'T FORGET to seek medicinal
advice.
DON'T ALLOW dogs, cats, or other
domestic animals to be about the pa
tent
DON'T FORGET that the control OF
whooping cough is in the hands of the
public itself
%he disease is contagious both be-
fore and after the whoop.
Mild cases of the disease without
the characteristic whoop, spread the
disease.
Whooping cough is quite common in
adults as well as children.
Notify all friends of the family that
your child has whooping cough.
DON'T ALLOW the nurse, or who.
ever is in charge of the child, to min
gle with other children or to go near
! any children in any home, park or pub
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1916-01-11

lie place.
Keep the child away from Sunday
school, stores and other places where
children congregate, until the cough
has ntirely disappeared
If the child is by accident. in the
company with other children and has
a coughing spell, cover the mouth and
nose with a paper napkin, or hand
kerchief, and burn or wash this as
soon as possible.
DON'T FORGET to do to other
mothers children as you would have
nose childrens' mothers do unto you.
In 1915 the death rate of children
under five years of age was corsid-
erably higher than it was in 1914.
Let's have thorough cooperation and
lower even the record of 1914. The
health officer cannot do it alone, ii
will take cooperation from each in
diyidual

CIDER IN LIQUOR
INDICTMENT 0. K.
COURT OF APPEALS REFUSED TO
ANNuL A VERDICT BECAUSE 1T
WAS INCLUDED IN CHARGE.

The state court of appeals has de-
cided that putting cider" in a liquor
indictment and making that form of
wet goods part of a charge of viola
ton of the old prohibition laws of the
state does not invalidate the indict-
ment But the court does hold that
cider may eventually become intox-
icating.
The case came from Townsville
city court, in which a man by the
name of Lewis sought to upset the
verdict, or conviction, in the city
court because of the way in which the
Indictment against him was drawn. 1t
charged that he, in violation of the
prohibition law, was selling rum, gin,
cider. spirituous, malt and intoxicat-
ing bitters and other drinks which if
drunk to excess, will produce fntoxi-
cation, contrary to the laws"
Another interesting decision of the
court of appeals is that in the case of
Blackham VS.. Few. in which the court
holds that refusal of trial judge
to direct a verdict is never reversi-
Bile error"

The fuel dealer stated to the coun-
ty commissioners that couple of
weeks OF cold weather would bring a
real coal famine. Dealers supplies,
he said, are much lower than ut this
time last year.
Mr.. Rosenblatt explained that Iowa
coal has jumped from $1.50 10 81, at
the mines; Iowa screenings were 10
to 20 cents a ton, but are now S275,
at the mines. Other grades, accord.
ing to the coal man, have advanced

company, declaring that I'VE are in

that there will be great suffering
