PROBATE NOTICE
CONTAGJOUS DISEASES

Inc main problem confronting the
County Board of Health, an organiza-
tion which is supported by local
taxation and hence by your money,
is securing reports of Contagious
diseases. All of the communicable
and some of the n-communicable
diseases are required to be reported
and the physicians of the county
with few exceptions are doing their
part in reporting cases which come
to their attention. The hardest re-
ports to secure are those on the
common diseases of childhood, thct
is, measles, whooping cough. chicken
pox and mumps. These diseases are
seldom seen by physicians, many par
ents believing that these are of such
minor nature that the physicians
attention is not required. That this
view is absolutely false needs no ar
gument, statistics prove, for instance
that whooping cough Is responsible
for more deaths in the State of Ohio
than diptheria or scarlet fever The
child with whooping cough should
be cared for most carefully as this
disease is Indirectly responsible for
the greater percentage of cases Of
,dren and furthermore the child under
the age of a year who contracts the
disease is quite liable to die as d
direct result.
Measles is seldom directly respon-
sible for deaths in children but its
complications are and furthermore
many light cases of scarlet fever
pass as severe cases of measles un-
til someone else catches" the
disease and the true nature of the
affection becomes apparent. The
same danger resides in chickenpoX;
most of the epidemics OF smallpox
which now and then sweep town or
township start from cases which were
diagnosed chickenpox by the mothers
of the children. Of mumps it need
only be said that this common disease
of childhood, through it's conrplica-
tions is responsible for many cases
of sterility, that is, the inability to
become a parent.
From the facts given above it can
be seen that those diseases of child
hood which are most common
Everyone has to have 'em" are really
deadly foes against which our chill
