He wanted to give that truth

his only friends were workers as

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. Q. q. =. Reed

You, like any Of your neigh
bors. are liable to have pneu-
monia. This liability Is greater
during the cold weather. Since
the disease ii very dangerous, and
may bring severe consequences to
those who survive it, it is worth
while to know how to recognize,
prevent and deal with it. You will
hear about lobar pneumonia and
about broncho-pneumonia and
about bronchitis. 1t is well to
understand just what these terms
mean. In the first place, pneu-
monia means an inflammation OF
the lungs, or, as we now say
with more accuracy. infection OF
the lungs.
Lobar pneumonia il pneumonia
of the whole lobe Of lung or OF
more than one lobe. Under the
age of two years it is usually q
slight disease, but for every year
over that it gets more dangerous.
Whether for good or Ill, the fever
is over in about a week.
Brancho-pneumonia may be
caused by more than one kind OF
mIcrobe; it attacks the fine
branches Of the bronchi, or air
passages, first, and thence
spreads in small clumps round
them in the substance Of the
lung, rather like leaves on tree.
1t may spread so much that the
clumps join together and make
the lobe of the lung as solid as
in lohar.pneumonia; but the whole
lobe does not go solid at once,
as it does in the lobar variety. In
children it is generally seen after
influenza, whooping cough and
measles, being preceded by bron-
chitis.
Broncho-pneumonia is very
severe disease, as the temperature
runs high Tor several weeks and
many patients die. Those who re-
cover generally retain the scars
of the disease in their lungs.
Bronchitis, which is also in a
way form of pneumonia, is
slight or severe according to how
badly the bronchial or breathing
tubes are affected. If only the
larger ones suffer from the in
flammation, it is a mild disease,
but il it attacks the fine ramifica-
tons and tiny tubes it is pracH-
callv the same as broncho-pneu-
monia as far as treatment and
outlook are concerned. Whether
it will do this or not, probably de-
pends on which micruDe is the
offender; it is more likely to be-
come broncho-pneumonia after
measles. Whooping cough or i'm
fiuenza than it is il the lung con-
dition appears by itself.
leslie B. Cole finds U.ondon
lancet that bottle-fed babies and
weakly children, especially those
with tendency to ricketts, and
those fed on sweet condensed
milk, are particularly likely to get
bronchitis and pneumonia. There
is no definite way of preventing
this, but to avoid cold and damp
will certainly go far to give the
child a chance of escaping. The
properly fed childH generally
escapes, and If 1t gets the disease,
it does not have such q bad tlrne.
