by this or some other disease.
Whooping cough is believed by some scientists
to be due to a germ called the bacillus pertussis."
This big name has a dreadful sound, but, although
the ailment is an uncomfortable one, it is not
necessarily dangerous. This Is true if the patient
has the best of care both during the run Of the
disease and during convalescence.
1t is natural to think Of whooping cough as
exclusively a disease of childhood. As a matter
of fact some of tho worst cases ] ever say were
those in grown persons. For an older person it
may be a very serious trouble.
Whooping cough begins like a cold, with a
running nose and redness of the eyes. There Is
likely to be fever and a dry, hard cough.
1t is essential that the patient rest in bed dur
ing the acute stage and that he have fresh air
day and night. He should have the sunniest
