BEWARE THE WOLF.

IF your child has running nose, it
! is time to get supicious. If your child S
playmate has one, keep your child
away from him. Measles, the wolf in
sleeps clothing, is abroad in the state
and he seems to be exceedingly raven
Gus. Milwaukee has nearly 500 cases
at the present time. During the latter
part of December an epidemic of
measles in La Crosse doubled that
city's annual record for. contagious
disease, raising the figures covering
cases of all contagious diseases for over
II months from rs to 157. Similar
epidemics prevail in many sections of
of the state.
Constant vigilance is necessary if you
are to safeguard your child from the
disease which in it's complications and
consequences is one of the most fatal
diseases of childhood. Measles, like
the poor, we have with US always at all
seasons of the year although most pre-
valent during the colder months 1t is
the most difficult of all epidemics to
control because of the fact that the
most infectious period is before the
appearance of the rash.
That is why running nose is just
cause for suspicion. 1t is the first
danger signal and one that should not
be disregarded at any time but especial
ly when there is known epidemic.
The period from exposure until the
appearance of the rash varies from 7
to Is days, the rule being ID. The first
symptoms are chilliness, running Of the
nose, redness of eyes and lids, sensitive
ness Of the eyes to the light, sneezing,
and dry cough. The rash generally
appears first on cheeks and forehead,
the small pimples rapidly extending
into blotches which spread over neck.
chest and the entire body. After two
Or three days the rash begins to fade
and the patient begins to peel, the
scales being so fine that they are often
scarcely noticeable. The catarrhal
symptoms disappear and the dangerous
convalescent period sets in.
During convalescence, the patient is
especially susceptible to tuberculosis,
which is a consequence of the disease
most 10 b. feared. Broncho- pneumonia,
Immediately following an attach of
measles, is also responsible for many
deaths Chronic kidney disc asses, bron-
.chitis, Inflammation of the eyes, deaf
ness, and mastoid disease are among
other after effects which make measles
SO deadly.
DON'T expose your child neeGlessly.
Don't let yous child expose ether chill
dren. In case he gets the disease, keep
him warm ia bed and give him good
nursing care in we'll ventilated room.
Don't think the danger is over when
the rash begins to disappear. Conva
lescencp is Il critical time and the re-
suits of neglect are not always immedi-
ately manifest. They appear in later
life
