Whooping cough is the "mean-
est" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years Of age, still it hangs on
SO long-the coughing paroxysms
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period of conval-
escence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone.
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to say-"There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease.
While the disease is active,
Vick's VapoRub usually helps to
lessen the violence of the cough
ing, but it is during conval-
escence that Vicks is most val
liable.
Because Vicks acts locally by
stimulation thru the skin to
