WOMAN,S REALM
Your
Children


send for the doctor Is an easy
thing to say. Yet mother viii
hesitate to call for medical advice
when every penny counts. She
hesitates, and often too long, TO
have that sore throat looked ut, or
the chronic tiredness or loss Of
weight looked after, or the perpetual
headache, or any symptom that, in
her heart, she knows needs expert
and immediate attention.
When, exactly, should she call the
doctor?
To begin with, mothers, learn TO
know their own children. Indeed,
sometimes they know them too well.
They get accustomed to the pallor,
or the recurring coughs, or the re-
peated retchings.
However, there are a few rules
that might be general guide.
Temperature ID Danger Signal
First of all, every home should
boast a clinical thermometer. It
can be bought for a dollar or so
at any drug store and Is easy To
read and care for.
Any temperature over ninety
nine should be the signal for
medical attention at once. Or, II
day after day 1t runs consistently
over 98 3-5, the reason should be
analysed. This is the normal tenn
perature of the average human.
Babies sometimes run higher, but
again, this needs to be checked.
Second, an illness that persists
unusually long cannot be diagnos-
ed at home. The sore throat that
runs over a day or SO must have
the professional eye. Or any
pains that don't give way to rea-
sonable home treatment very
soon. Or coughs that linger, espe-
cially when accompanied by ia
tigue or flushed face, or reich
ing.
Once let sore throat go until
the third day. 1t was diphtheria
Once I let another sore throat &c
for two days. 1t was scarlet fever
put the time limit very low
here, because experience has
taught me.
Under-Par Child Needs Attention
The under-par child, who isn't
enjoying life one bit, needs to be
thoroughly examined. Be sure
he must have help. He ought to
be eating, sleeping and gaining In
weight, even though slowly. May
be 1t Is infection In head, OF
throat. or teeth, or something else
that is sapping his strength and
happiness.
If there is an epidemic near, and
illness occurs, should have doc
tor at once. 1t is the only thing to
do.
A child's life Is a child's life
and every doctor puts 1t first, al
though he should be paid some.
time, and as soon as any bill car
be met. Too often he has TO wait
after all the others, which is moi
quite fair. These things must bt

be afraid to talk to him. There
should be no such thing as falst
pride between parent and doctor
when child's future and perhaps
life isat stake. At present 1t Is thu

vaccines are promoted for this pur-

cut down these figures exactly as we

The city Of Manchester, N. H.,
has not had o single case Of diph--
liberia for five years. 1t should be
possible for every city In the United
States to achieve q similar record.
During the first six months Of his
life, because Of breast feeding and
the immunization received at birth,
a child usually has the resistance
materials necessary to overcome
many infections. Moreover, the nurs-
ing infant, because of his helpless
ness, Is usually isolated from con-
tact with many sources Of infec-
ton.
After the sixth month however
the infant stops nursing and begins
to move about more. It is necessary
then, to give him the advantage OF
modern preventive methods which
increase his resistance to certain dis
eases. t.

arm or on the other side OF the left
leg, above the knee. 1t will prevent
smallpox In the vast majority OF
cases.
BY the 18th month children should
be irnmunizeds against diphtheria
The method now used involves In
lection OF q substance called diph-
iberia toxoid. The doctor usually
will inject this into the loose tissue
OF arm or leg or occasionally into
the back or the abdominal wall
Some physicians use two doses;
others one dose toxoid.
Usually the child begins TO de-

the injection and within four
months Is protected against diph-
iberia for some time. Vaccination
