POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
X-RAY FOR WHOOPINC
COUGH

DURING the winter of 1923 there
was an unusual amount of whoop-
ing cough in this country. Ordinarily.
this disease kills about ten thousand
babies a year. This is bad enough,
but every four or five years for some
reason, 1t is particularly prevalent.
Evidently, 1923 was one of these
years.
Existing methods of treatment are of
little use. Once contracted, the dis
ease runs its course Of from four to
nine weeks. The frequent spasms of
coughing, exhaust and weaken the
child, who often develops pneumonia
and dies, indirectly but none the less
actually, a victim of whooping cough.
We do not know the exact cause of
this disease. We do know, however,
that in most cases, the thymus gland,
located in front of the bronchial tubes
and trachea is considerably enlarged.
This gland, which corresponds to the
sweetbread in the calf, is large during
early life, but shrinks after the first
fifteen years, until in the adult there
is left only fibrous cord 1t has long
been surmised that this enlarged gland,
pressing on the air tubes, might have
something to do with the spasms of
coughing.
While treating these enlarged glands
with Xray, 1t was noticed that, soon
after the light treatments were begun,
the spells of coughing were relieved.
So DR.. Ralph Leonard, of Boston, de-
cided to test the value of X-ray treat
ment in large number of baby pa
TENTS in the Boston Floating hospital.
Four hundred babies with whooping
cough were selected and carefully ex-
amined, so that there might be no
question about the existence of the
disease. Two hundred were also care
fully examined. as so-called control
cases. All were given the same care
under the same surroundings, except
that four hundred were given X-ray
treatment, and two hundred were not.
OF the children treated, 70 per cent
showed marked Improvement. In chill
dren under one year, 100 per cent
were benefited.
Used in the early days of the disease,
the X-ray does not prevent the cough
ing nor does it shorten the disease. In
children under two years, however, in
those not given X-ray treatment the
disease lasted nine weeks, while those
given the X-ray treatment were web in
five weeks AS the death rate is higher
the longer the disease lasts, this short
ening of the duration doubtless saved
many babies lives.
This number is by far the largest
that has ever been treated by X-ray.
After long experience and careful
study, the opinion of all the doctors
on the staff of the hospital was that
the X-ray was the best means at pres
ent known for controlling the spasms
in whooping cough and for shortening
the duration of the disease.

SPECTATORITIs

TOM MARSHALL said that what
= this country needed was a good
five-cent cigar What it needs more
is a good game in which anyone and
everyone can take part. We are suf-
fering as a nation from what the
health commissioner of one of our
largest cities very aptly calls "spec-
tatoritis." There are too few playing
and too many occupying grandstand
and bleacher seats. During the beau
tiful days Of summer, thousands of
men, most of them middle aged, many
of them too fat and with muscles that
are crying for exercise, sit on the
benches and watch a few other men
play baseball. When fall comes and
the baseball season closes, the same
men sit in the grandstand and watch
% men play football. Or it may be
wrestling match or boxing contest
or six-day bicycle race or billiard
tournament A few men are doing
the work Thousands are looking on.
The players are trained to the
minute To be a star baseball player
or a crack halfback, they have de-
veloped their bodies far beyond the
needs of present-day life. This means
they need and that by middle life,
when they ought to be in their prime,
they have fatty instead of muscular
hearts. Athletes generally die young.
The looker-on doesn't take any
chances of fatty heart. He has his
fat around his waist. His muscles are
flabby and he doesn't have a good
sweat from muscular exertion once a
year.
SO the Is ball players or the % foot
ball men overwork and shorten their
lives to amuse the thousands of spec
tators who underworld and shorten
theirs.
Sounds silly, doesn't it? 1t is. The
object of games is not to produce
stars, any more than the object of eat
ing is to produce men who can eat
four times as much food as the aver
age man. Our present system of ath-
letics is killing off our picked young
men at time when they should be In
their prime. The hundreds of thou
sands of spectators who pay to sit still
and see other men work when they
should be working themselves are kid
ding themselves. You can't keep fit by
watching another man work, any more
than you can keep strong by watching
another man eat.
Can't some wide awake American in
vent universal game? We need it in
our schools and colleges and more than
all in our everyday lives.

Measure Passed at Last Ses-

Observation-Disclosures Coolidge's
veto of the postal pay increase bill
was upheld in the Senate by the mar

ators supported the executive, while
55-one less than the necessary two
thirds majority to enact the bill over
the veto, opposed him. With this ac-
ton by the Senate the pay measure,
passed at the last session, 73 to 8,
died automatically. In its place will
be brought forward the administra-

small chance of enactment at this
session.
Republican ranks split wide open on
the issue of upholding the President.
