familiar diseases; fewer far than
very hot weather might cause.
Not to worry is the first precau-
ton, the most important one; bur
there are others. AS the contagion
doubtless goes by contact or near
approach. it may be a public duty
TO restrain the natural childish de-
sire TO go about among playmates
wherever found, and TO refrain from
taking children on long, fatiguing
trips. Cleanliness and care in diet
need not be mentioned. They are
obvious and should be usual in deal-
ing with children.
To call a physician without DELAY
is the only other rule which must
know no exception. Doctors have
not yet developed a serum or
lymph for checking the disease as
diphtheria is checked. They do
know how it should be treated: and
particularly do good citizens owe the
city and state health boards their
instant cooperation TO prevent the
spreading of contagion in this AM
other cities. This is the physician 5
task and he should at need be called
without delay.
