THE ROAD TO HEALTH
BY A. C. Terrence, M. D.
Opelousas, La.


Opelousas, La.
There are few sights more pathe
tic than young child gasping for
breath during an attack of whoop-
ing cough.
Only short time ago ! was called
to home where a nine-months-old
boy was sick with the disease. His
fits of coughing, following by the
long in-drawn "whoop," left the lit
tie fellow completely exhausted
and thoroughly frightened his
mother. She had spent sleepless
night watching over him and try
ing to relieve his suffering.
The baby had caught the disease
from his older brother who had
just started school. The older boy
had mild attack and the mother
did not realize how sick whooping
cough sometimes makes children,
particularly very young children.
she did not know that whooping
cough is catching, so whe nthe older
child had the disease she made no
effort to keep him away from his
baby brother.
When the baby first became i'll,
she thought he had only cold. Then
when the coughing became worse,
the "whooping" began and the
child seemed in danger of suffocat-
ing, she became alarmed and sent
for me.
Most children have whooping
cough by the time they reach school
age. Sometimes they have a light
case which has no serious after
effect. Sometimes they have bad
attack which makes them very i'll
and which may threaten their flu
ture health.
Because whooping cough is such
common disease among children,
parents often take it too lightly.
They do lot realize how sick child
can become from it, nor do they
realize that whooping cough may be
followed by bronchial pneumonia
or other illnesses, if the child does
not receive proper care.
Whooping cough is apt to be espe-
cially hard on babies from six
months to one year of age. Mothers
should take every precaution to
keep babies from catching the dis
ease which, as | have said, they get
from someone who has whooping
cough.
In the beginning, whooping
cough resembles cold. 1t starts
with a running nose, slight fever
and dry cough. While cold nor

Tidewater, the Piedmont or the val
ley. Theirs was government
founded upon a constitution that
guaranteed individual liberty. They
defended their beliefs; they fought
for their rights. The Tobacco rebel
lion of 1876 antedated the Boston
Tea party by century! "Give me
liberty or give me death" spoken by
Patrick Henry, was the clarion call
to independence, and Thomas JEFF
ferson set down on paper our Amer
ican bill of rights.
After the close of the Revolution
ary war, the great westward move
ment came as men sought even new
er lands. There were hundreds OF
Virginians among them, in wide
tented wagons, dragged by horses
and oxen. Three great gateways
opened from Virginia to the from
tier. To the northeast was the chan
mel of the Potomac river, the gate
way known to Washington. In the
center was the gateway of Buffalo
Gap and Goshen Pass. The third
was Cumberland Gap, known to
Daniel Boone, and opening the tow
ering Cumberland mountains to
Kentucky.
While there were Virginians on
every frontier, ready to pioneer and
build America, most of the old stock
remained close to their native soil.
The Commonwealth of Virginia has
never stopped building. Its soil has
always been productive. Its mines
and factories yield their wealth.
Agriculture is constantly expand
ing. Corn and tobacco and garden
truck are still grown in eastern Vir-
ginia. Cotton is raised along the
southern border, and peanuts are
valuable crop. Smithfeld hams,
from hogs fattened on peanuts, are

scale in the Southwest.
Virginia produces bituminous coal
and limestone as well as cement,
clay, feldspar, gypsum, lead, man.
ganese, mica, pyrite, salt, sand,
slate, soapstone, zinc : and even
gold!
Richmond is the largest cigarette
making center in the world. At
Hopewell and elsewhere are chem
ical plants. Furniture-making, lum-
bering and cotton textile manufac-
turing are also extensive. At New
port News is one of the largest ship
building plants in the United States.
But leisure and good living, more
than creating great fortunes, are the
traditions of Virginia. Its people
know the ocean front, Chesapeake
bay and the rivers. There are hum
dreds of miles of beaches for bath
ing. Fishing in the bay and rivers
is good. Channel bass fishing is
fine! Virginians know the trout,
spot, croaker, bass, rock, blue fish
and many others.

Between the Blue Ridge and the
Alleghenies lies the Shenandoah val
ley, once known as the "granary
of the Confederacy." Its climate
