II n ANY mothers regard whoop-
M ing cough as one OF the nee
essary evils OF childhood. and
look upon IL not with concern, but
only with annoyance.
IL is a very disagreeable and un-
comfortable thing for their little
ones to have. and they are thankful

they are needless OF the danger OF
exposing other children TO the dis
ease. Many children with whoop-
ing cough are carried on street
cars. railroad trains, TO moving pic

While IL is true that with older
children whoopinE cough may be

PROTECT THE BABY.
Hence, II behooves every mother
to most carefully protect her young
baby from whooping cough. The
only way in which she can do this
is by a scrupuious avoidance of
every one who has anything like a
cold" For II is unfortunately true
that in the early stage OF the dis
ease IL is Impossible TO distinguish
whooping cough from an ordinary
cold.
