MUMPS EMUS
WHEN CMPCOLIATED
Protect Patient and Prevent Con
tagion, Says the Georgia
State Board of Health.
Atlanta, Ga—The danger In
munii'B, or what is known to medical
whence as epidemic parotitis, is not
#o much in the disease itself as in
the complications which are liable to
attend it. For this reason it is im
portant that the patient be carefully
pi elected against possible complica
tions, and also that precautions be
taken against spreading the contag
ion, says the Georgia State Board of
Health.
The cause of mumps has never been
definitely determined. Hike the ma
jority of the diseases of childhood,
it is among the mysteries of medi
cine. But it is a well established fact
that the disease is contagious and
can be transmitted from one person
to another.
While infants and adults are rare
ly attacked by mumps, they may have
it, and care should be taken to avoid
the contagion. The greatest period of
of liability to the disease is irom
four to fifteen years of age.
Mumps is one of the oldest of
known diseases. it was accurately
described by Hippocrates, the an
cient Greek physician who noted the
suppuration of the parotid gland, and
the secondary inflammation of the
sexual organs was even known to
him. It does not appear to be limited
by climate, though the colder season
in the temperate zone is more favor
able to it, and it is noted that it is
more frequent iu prolonged cold and
wet weather.
How the Contagion Is Spread.
it has been demonstrated that the
contagion may be carried in various
ways. A person may contract mumps
by being directly exposed to one hav
ing the disease; indirectly by coming
Into contact with a third person who
has been exposed to it, or by receiv
uing the infection from some article
that has been used or handled by the
patient having the disease. The dang
er of contagion is not 60 great as m
the eruptive fevers, such as small
pox, scarlet fever, measles and the
like, nor is it ordinarily accompanied
by such serious or dangerous compli
cations.
Nevertheless there occur occasion
ally serious and sometimes very pain
ful complications such as sloughing
of the parotid glands, painful swell
ing of the sexual glands followed of
ten by an atrophy or shriveling of
these organs. Besides these compli
cations mumps has been known to
induce convulsions, meningitis, in
flammation of the joints and pancreas,
deafness, facial paralysis, bright s
disease and in very occasional cases,
loss of memory.
Because of these possible compli
cations it is well to avoid exposure
to the disease as far as possible.
Children with mumps should not only
he taken from school, hut should be
isolated, and the same precautions
should he taken as in the case of oth
,er contagious diseases. While the
thorough disinfection of soiled bed
and body clothing, including handker
chiefs and cloths used for the collec
tion of discharges from the nose and
mouth, is regarded as important in
preventing the spread of the contag
ion, fumigation of the room following
recovery of the patient is not regard
ed as essential.
The Symptom* of Mumps.
In an attack of mumps loss of ac
tivity is noted, accompanied by pal
lor and lassitude; the child may be
come irritable and complain of ear
ache which will he followed by the
swelling of one Bide of the face, (in
a bilateral attack both sides become
swollen). Fever may develop, mildiy
M first, and going sometimes as high
a6 104. Even higher temperatures
have been noted. The swelling be
comes conspicous from the ear
down; the skin, pale, glistening,
and tense; the tongue coated. Chew
ing becomes a painful process; dif
ficulty in caring for the mouth may
cause had smelling breath. Nausea
and vomiting are often noted.
The time which elapses between
exposure and development of the
disease probably averages a little
more than two weeks. Contagion is
possible during the entire course of
the attack and also several days af
ter the swelling of the parotid glands
has disappeared. The patient should
he isolated, therefore, for three weeks
after the beginning of the symptoms
or for ten days after the swelling has
subsided.
There are two parotid glands, one
on either side of the face, just in
front of and extending slightly below
the ear. Both of these glands are
usually involved, the patient having
what is sometimes called "double
mumps or mumps on both sides. The
swelling is usually at its height by
the end of the third day. ]t may ex
tend down into the tissues of the
heck. A‘A P X remaning • tor

If weak, you need Cardui,

is made from gentle herbs,
acts in a natural manner,
and has no bad results, as
some of the strong drugs
sometimes used. Asa med

Cardui has been a popular
success for over 50 years.

Mrs. Lula Walden, of
Cramlin, S. C., followed
this advice. Read her let
ter : “I was so weak,
when I first began to take
Cardui, that it tired me to
walk just a little. Now, I
can do all the general
housework, for a family of
9.” Try Cardui for your
troubles. It may be the
very remedy you need.
Prevent The Fly.
It has become a well-establish
ed fact that the fly is the most
prolific source of contagions dis
ease.
It is also well-established that
the fly breeds and multiplies at
an astoiiishhing rate in refuse
and filth.
“Swat the fly” has become an
axiom in America, and Dr. Oscar
Dowling, of the Louisiana Board
of Health, has issued the follow*-
ing most excellent rules, which
are applicable wherever the fly
exists:
“Flies follow! filth; feVett follov
flies; swatting flies saves sickness
“It is better to screen cradle
and wear a smile than scoff at
the precaution and wear mourn
ing.
“Flics in the dining room usu
ally precede nurses in the sick
‘Screens in the window'prevent
crepe on the do,or.
“Flics, as well as bad water,
spreads typhoid.
“A fly in milk may mean a
member of a family in the grave.
“A fly luts natural enemies;the
most presistent and most effec
tive should bo man.
“It cost less to buy a screen
door than to get sick and lay off
for a month.
“It’s a short haul from the gar
bage can io tin* dining table
“If at first you don.t succeed,
swat, swat, swat again.
“The appeal stresses tin* san
itary importance of preventing
the accumulation of dirt and
garbage and tin* covering of gar
bage cans. These precautions, it
is set forth, prevent the spread
of the fly pest, and likewise make
the home less attractive to rats,
which arc also disease breeders.”

Iu an attack of mumps the patient
should be isolated and a physician
called. Applications of warm oil are
used with good effect. The mouth
should he kept clean with some anti
septic fluid prescribed by the physi
cian. The patient should be kept on
a liquid diet and the bowels should
be kept open. W hile it is not neces
sary that the milder cases should be
confined to bed. it is important that
they remain indoors daring the
course of the disease and avoid tak
ing cold, which might lead to com
plications. If there is fever, it is
tetter that the patient should rest in
bed. ..
