After a period of duiescence lasting more than year whooping cough is again becoming quite prevalent, says Dr. T. F. Eben Reeks iris his month ly report for the state department of health
 In 1918 whooping cough caiised more deaths than any other disease of childhood, the mortality records show ing that 279 people sueeu1mbed to the disease. It was epidemic in Connee- ticIt during the latter part of 1917 and the early months Of 1918. AL together there were 2S63 cases re- ported by our health officers during last year, most of them occurring within the first five months. Follow ing the outbreak Of influenza there was a sharp falling off of the reported cases of whooping cough. Last April only 19 cases were reported in the entire state. For the. first ten months of this year 434 cases were reported and unless the present increase. marks the beginning of another epidemic, the year 1919 will show a lower cast and death rate for wfleoping c6ugf l than any other year in the records oi | the state department of health. Bu | it. should be noted that probably lest than half of the cases are ever re. ] ported to the health officer, becaist
 so many mothers attempt to treat tht | disease without calling a physician.

ing, it is sufficient to justify a gen. l eral warning to parents, teachers and l health officers that precautions must | be taken to check the spread of the disease.
 The seriousness of whooping cough l is not generally appreciated, but the case fatality rate, based on. the re- ports received from health officers, is as high as that of dipl1theria and very much higher than that of scar let fever, measles, or any ether com nuf1icable diseases Of childhood Many a mother has exposed her child to whooping cough firm in the belief that she was performing good act and in ignorance of the jeopardy in which
 she placed the life of her offspring 1 Familiarity and ignorance-have too often bred a fatal contempt for the common, but serious, preventable dis eases.
 The germs of whoeping cough grow I in the nose, throat and respiratory tubes; and produce an inflammation and the signs of an ordinary cold. The in 1 cubation period Is from three to eight ! day1 The premonitory symptoms are like those of a simple cold. These last about a week and then follows a
 week or more of attacks of the char l aeteristic' coughing which gave the
 disease its common name. The germs
 are usually produced in the greatest l abundance at the begining of the sec l ond week of the disease, and they
 usually disappear by the end of the
 third week, although the inflammation
 and cough may continue much long l CT. One of the greatest dangers con 1 nected with whooping cough is the susceptibility of patients to pneu- l fTYOTlia vpfirh ic q frnO11a7f ooyp ioa- ti6n of the disease.
 I Whooping cough is spread by, con-
 tact and droplet infection. When seized with a spasm of coughing, d 1 patient may exBel a spray of in Il fected mucus and salvia to a distance of five or six feet. The disease is contagious, however, for some days l before the whooping begins; and pre- vertion depends upon the recognition
 of the early symptoms as well as up-
 on the isolation of the patient during
 the time fhe case is running it's usual course. There is only a slight chance
 of spreading infection after patient
 has been isolated three weeks. Il Vaccination against Whoopihg c0t1sh is. a great value as 8 preventive, and when 8 case develops among fam fly of children the administration of vaccine will probably prevent the others from taking the disease. The vaccine has less value when admin
 istered after the positive symptoms have appeared.
 The three rules suggested by one oi ] our health officers to prevent tft spread of the .Whoopfng cough are al : follows, Rule 1-Quarantine. Rule 2- [ Quarantine! Rule 3-Quarantine'!
