IMMUNIzE AGAINST

By WILLIAM A. o'BRIEN, M. n

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D.
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a
contagious infection Of the trachea
and bronchi lasting one or two
months. Children should be immu.
nized against whooping cough
at the age of S months, as the
disease is more serious in early
life; IS percent Of whooping cough
deaths occur in children under the
age OF 2.
Whooping cough starts gradually
with a slight cough. After a few
weeks, coughing spells increase in
severity until they are so violent
and so close together the child does
not have a chance to breathe.
Spells are followed by a noisy
whoop which often ends in vomit.

it is possible to have whooping
cough without the ''whoop."
Whooping cough is spread by di.

ticles soiled with discharges of
whooping cough patients also can
S p r d the infection. Whoopins
cough is caused by special germ,
which is found in the spray during
coughing.
A child may come down with
waooping cough in a week or 10
days after exposure, although some
do not develop the infection until
after the third week. Whooping
cough is most contagious before
the typical whoops occur. After the
child whoops, the contagiousness

restrict the child after the third
week Of the illness, even though
the whoops persist.
When whooping cough is suspect.

whooping cough is not the cause,

pneumonia, but drug treatment of
whooping cough is not effective.
Special serum tends to shorten the
disease and make 1t less severe.
Vaccination against whooping
cough will protect 80 to IS per cent
OF exposed children, whereas only
10 to Is percent of non-vaccinated
children escape after they have
been exposed. It takes several
months for the protection to devel-

is Of no value.
ALL children who have been i'm.

should be given further protection

year. Many physicians recommend

have been immunized whenever
they have been exposed to the dis.

can army Of occupation.
He took 10 tests and a physical
examination. He is awaiting a rul-

bar to his enlistment.
II want to be an American be-
cause it is the greatest nation in

Robert Stern.

be a real American"
He was born in Vienna, the son
of a Jewish father and a Catholic
mother. His parents went to Shang-
hal in 1888. Two years later, Rob.
ert and his sister, Ruth, joined the
father in Yokohama. The mother
had died in Shanghai.
Stern, an ambitious youth whose
years of flight and peril have limit
ed him to eight years of schooling,
plans to take the army correspon.
dence courses and to attend night
school.
Stern wandered into the bivouac
of 773rd AMTRAC battalion mo.

could work to earn his food.

to explain things to him only once.
He's been with us since Sept.
and was getting only food and a

Another highly important j O b

Stern knows the Jpas and he
doesn't like them. He thinks they
are too tricky and always is watch

on the job, I turn Stern loose and
he yells at them in their own glib
berish. They know he knows they
are loafing and they really start
shovelling."
Dewitt, who shepherded Stern
through the enlistment procedure,
made a special request that the
boy be assigned to his battalion.
II need this kid to keep after
those laborers sent to us by the
Jap War Department" Dewitt ex-
planned. HE is a slave driver. He
doesn't take any back talk from
