SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis e. Bisch-

Mumps is an inflammation Of
a particular salivary gland called
the parotid.
This causes a swelling Of the
gland which can readily b seen
and Ia very characteristic. Its
location is in front Of the ear
and below it. This distinguishes
it from enlargement of the lymph
glands. the lymph nodes. in the
neck.
what causes mumps Is un-
known.
1t il very contagious. and II
one child in the family has 1t
the others are almost certain to
develop it later on. It may occur
In epidemics.
Adolescents may be affected
with humps as wen as children.
babies and mature adults but
seldom.
Munps almost always affects
both parotid glands. Sometimes
AZ the inflammation in one side
OF the face decreases. the paro-
It'd ON the other side enlarges.
Often the other side shows signs
= day or two after the onset OF
the first.
1t takes time for mumps to re-
veal its. presence. That il. q
child may catch IT. and show NO
symptoms whatever for from two
to three weeks. Then. however,
the Inflammation shows itself.
The swelling may be the first
sign.
This increases rather rapidly
and is more or less painful. The
whole side OF the neck may seem
involved.
The fever il usually not ape-
cially high. not over 1O1 degrees.
It may. however, rise to 10s or
1o4.
Often the patient does not feel
50 very sick throughout the
course Of the disease. He may,
on the other hand. become quite
FRUSTRATED.
Although humps Is specific
infection Of the parotid gland, the
other salivary glands. the sub
lingual and the submaxillary, may
also become swollen as the dis
ease progresses.
The hearing may be Impaired
during the attack Of mumps and
there may be earache.
Az rule. the symptoms run
for seven, ten. or twelve days
and then subside. The swelling
gradually becomes smaller until
it disappears entirely.
After the age Of puberty, about
IL or Is, q serious complication
OF humps, namely, crchitis, may
develop. A similar condition may
affect girls. 1t is a dangerous
complication because degenerative
changes in reproductive organs Of
boys is always q possibility.
Munps Is common condition
yet its Importance and dangers
should not be held too lightly.
Very little can be done to pre-
vent its occurrence because it
spreads so rapidly from one child
to another and because the way it
spreads remains mystery.
But it is best to keep the pa
tient in bed while the temperature
is high and not allow him to leave
his bed too early.
No special medication Is re-
CURED Cold congresses or the
application Of heat to the swollen
