of this book was unknown, or
rather forgotten, until it was dis
covered by DR.. Garnett and an

years elapsed before a copy of the
book itself came to light, and of this

Mr.. John Lane in 1898. According
to the London publisher, Stockdale,
1880 copies of the Original Poetry"
were printed, and almost the whole
of the impression appears to have
been destroyed. Five years later the
discovery of second copy was an
nounced in the Times (September

fetched $500 at Sotheby's. The
Book Monthly of December, 1903,

that it was given by Shelley to an

CHILDREN SHOULD
NOT Be EXPOSED
TO ANY DISEASE
County Health Officer Gives Interest.
Ing Discussion Of the Diseases OF
Childhood and the Duty
OF Parents.
(By DR.. VIRGIL d. GUITTARD,
Health Officer.)

The contagious diseases of infancy
and childhood have long been regard
ed by parents as something necessary
in the proper rearing of the child At
the right time and occasion, children
were exposed to measles, mumps,
whooping cough and other commun-
icable diseases, in the expectation
that they would take them. How often
have we heard the proud parent say,
MY child had the measles"
To consider these diseases as trivial
and necessary is absolute error. No
disease mo matter how light form it
may assume, is to be sought. There
has never been a case of contagious
disease in child, or an adult for that
matter, but that some defect, some i'm
pairment of the delicate mechanism of
the human body has followed in its
train.
Health departments experience diff
ficulties in maintaining quarantine for
these cases. Many people don't see the
danger in their spread, disregard the
red card and violate the law in regard
to such diseases.
For the week ending May 20, in New
York City SO children under six years
Of age died of measles. For the week
ending May 10th, in Cincinnati, there
were nine deaths from the same dis
ease. In Chicago, for the week ending
May 9Th. 19 deaths resulted from
measles.
The other contagious diseases of
childhood also took a sad toll Of chill
dren's lives. especially scarlet fever
and whocping cough. These figures
ere taken from the weekly bulletins
issued by the health departments II
the cities referred to.
These figures are disquieting to say
the least. Parents should consider well
before exposing their children to any
one of these diseases. And any fam
lily under quarantine should scrupu-
lously respect the red card in order to
escape the responsibility of other
children contracting the disease.
Physicians everywhere are treating
running ears, enlarged glands, inflam-
cd eyes and injured internal organs
the result of some of these commun-
icable diseases. General diseases OF
the lungs, kidneys and heart often fol-
low an attack of the so-called com
mon" diseases of childhood.
All these diseases are to be carefully
