PRECAUTIONS URGED. FOR
PROTECTION FROM COLDS
Doctors Throughout Country Re-
port Increase In Number of
Cases

Here are some precautions advised
by the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
Maryland State Department of Health
for the protection of babies and young
children from colds and their damag-
ing after effects:
doctors from all over the country
report a striking increase in the num-
Der of common colds occurring in the
general population. Babies and young
infants are particularly susceptible tC
colds. In this, as in many other in
stances, prevention is much easier
than cure.
Treatment of colds in babies and
young children is not very satisfactory
Some infants who contract colds early
in the year will be coughing and sneez-
ing all winter. The danger does not
lie so much in the cold or running
nose itself as in the complications
which come later. Not only is the
childs general resistance lowered but
the cold offers an excellent avenue for
more dangerous germs to get into the
body.
prevention is not easy, but it is
very much worthwhile. The method to
follow is simple but requires diligence
and attention to details. In the first
place, don't take the baby to crowded
places. Do not allow neighbors, rela-
tons and friends to play with the very
young infants. For the older child, at
tempt to make the contact as short as
possible and refuse to allow it at all of
the visitor is coughing or sneezing.
The germs discharged in coughing or
sneezing may be sprayed out over re-
markedly long distances so that per-
son with a cold should not remain in
the same room with a baby.
"The same precautions apply to
members of the household but, of
course, it is impossible for the mother
to stay away from the baby when she
has cold. If this happens the mother
should wear a mask whenever she is
near the baby. An effective mask may
be made by binding square of gauze,
3 by 4 inches in size, and tying tapes
to the corners. On the front of the
mask one should pin piece of paper
towel. The paper is better protection
than the gauze, but must be changed
when it becomes moist. The mask can
be fastened over the nose and mouth
by tieing tapes behind the head or ears.
