PERTUSSIS CAN BE CURED

Many parents still beileVe that Tor
child attacked by whooping cough,
or pertussis, as the doctors prefer
to call it among themselves, there is
practically nothing effective to do,
and that the affection must be endur-
ed for weeks and weeks until at last
it cures itself. In the past there has
been reason for this hopelessness.
Whooping cough until very recently
was one of "the scandals of medl-
cine" in the sense that medicine was
next to hopeless when confronted by
it.
This situation has been changed
by the discovery that while several
of the respiratory maladies can at
least be relieved by the inhalation
of properly diluted and administered
chlorine gas, for whooping cough,
that remedy is promptly curative in
100 per cent of all cases.
This was reported from Washing
ton some months ago as the result
of experimental work done by the
Medical Division of the Chemical
Warfare Service and the report now
is confirmed emphatically by Lieut.
Col. H. L. Gilcshrist, head of the
Army Medical Corps. He says that
few treatments with chlorine
eleven in the most obstinate cases
put an end to whooping cough, g
disease which under any other meth
cd of treatment runs on for three
or four months.
New York's Health Board, acting
with commendable promptness, some
time ago established and opened two
of the new "inhaloria" and the fact
should not be ignored by either doc
tors or parents anywhere in this vi
cinity. That some of them are ig
noring it or have never heard OF it
is made obvious by the number OF
children here and in the suburbs who
are coughing in this most distressing
way.-N. Y. Times.

!. SEASON MAY
BE BRIEF
Ice on Rejecting Pool Is Good,
But Thaw May End

Skating on the rejecting pool at

Although the cold snap has fur

eye on the weather reports, will
not promise skating tomorrow.
Maybe" is the most encourages.
ment, that skaters can get out of

II the temperature goes we'll above
