WHooPING COUGH is SERIOUS.

WHOOPING cough is one of the
w most serious children's dis
eases, both in its immediate and re-
mote effects.
The mortality among those attack
ed with this disease is, under l year
of age, 26.8 per cent; between 1 and
years of age, 1873 per cent; be-
tween 2 and years of age, 3 per
cent, and between and Is years of
age, 1.8 per cent.
The disease is not infrequently
complicated by Inflammation of the
lungs, and the violent coughing
which occurs is apt to produce a
harmful dilatation of the lung tissue
itself.
1t is by no means uncommon in
underfed children for the disease to
be followed by tuberculosis of the
lungs.
Cases of paralysis complicating
whooping cough have been reported,
and serious trouble in the eye due to
hemorrhages into that organ produc-
ed by coughing have also been noted.
1t is thus seen that whooping
cough, which it is estimated kills
over 10000 American children an
naully, is a disease seriously affect
ing the public health and demand
Jig earnest attention.
The name given to the disease is
descriptive of the peculiar cough as
ISOLATED with it. The disease is high
ly contagious and is accompanied by
inflammation of the lining membrane
of the breathing tubes, and charac-
teristic and far too familiar whoop.
