WHAT TO DO FOR MEASLES AND
WHooPING COUGH.

The State Board of Health does not
pretend to have found any specific for
measles and whcoping cough, which
kills so many babies. 1t does know,
as shown in the October Health Bull
letin, how to make less likely deaths
from these diseases.
The first thing is to avoid having
these diseases. If measles is abroad
in the community the order is to Keep
the child away from it. If the child
gets it the thins to do is to send the
victim to bed and keep him there. BY
careful treatment there will be no
dangerous aftermath which really
makes measles highly fatal.
Whooping cough does its worst in
youth. The baby under one year
stands one chance in eight Of dying;
from one to two, in every 10; from
two to three, the rate is l in every
30; from three to four it is in every
so; and from four to five, in 200 die.
The application is inevitable.
