SiMJHM While Not Dangerous, It Is High ly Contagious Sometimes Complications F o 1 low, Says State Health Hoard. Atlanta, Ga. —Although chicken-pox 1b regarded as one of the natural ail ments incident to childhood, there are eeveraJ important reasons, says the Georgia State Board of Health, why parent* should exercise all the care that would be taken with a mor* dangerous epidemic disease. In the first place, while chicken pox, when properly treated, leaves no permanent disfigurement of the skin, if neglected or permitted to be come severe, it may leave scars or pock marks similar to the pits that come from smaU-pox. All that is usually necessary to prevent the ecars is proper medical attention and the exercise of care to prevent the patient from scratching the eruptions. If small children persist in scratching, it is a good idea to put mittens on their hands, itching may be alleviat ed by carboljzed and warm baths, and the application of oil may be used to hasten the separation of the ciusts. Another reason why chicken-pox cases should be given careful atten tion is the fact that while severe Ll ness or death seldom, if ever, occurs in uncomplicated cases, there is al ways a possibility of complications that might lead to serious results. Complications are rare, but when they do occur they consist usually of pneu monia, erysipelas and inflammation of the kidneys (nephritis). Not infre quently chicken-pox is complicated by some other infectious disease, but this, however, is more of a coincid ence than a true complication. Another reason tor exercising speeiaj care in chicken-pox cases, — and this is the most important reason of all from the standpoint of com munity welfare, —is the fact that the disease ,is highly contageous, and when the children of a family, or a school or a neighborhood have been once exposed to it, scarcely any child who has not had the disease escapes contagion. ■, ► xT 'V Usually Confined to Children. The disease is usually communicat ed in the ordinary intercourse of children in the family, the school or the playgrounds. While grown peo ple are not entirely immune, it is usually confined to children. The poison is eliminated not only through surface of the body and the crusts broken from the eruption, hut even in the air which the person breathes. It is believed by physicians that it can enter the body by way of the respiratoty passages. Direct cou ■tact, therefore, is not necessary, the infection being communicated to some little distance by the air; it can also be carried more remotely by persons who do not contract the disease themselves, but who transmit it to persons who are more susceptible. The importance of isolation and sanitary precautions, in the light of the disease's highly contageous na ture, becomes immediately manifest, isolation should be practiced, and the quarantine should be prolonged until the last crusts are thrown off. Dis infection of the person, clothing and aparttment is desirable to minimize the danger of spreuding the disease. These measures, and the treatment of the disease, should be carried out under the direction of a physician. Chicken-Pox Symptons. Chicken-pox is ordinary, an easy disease to diagnose. It develops in from ten to sixteen days after ex posure. The first indication is usually the auparance of small. bright red I I tewiaa > j Mastic Paint has stood the test for more than forty years.

We hear people com plaining against God—blaming him for the disasters, storms and loss of life, but this is a great mistake, for we read in Holy Writ that Satan is prince and power of the air; and lie is the author of all the destruction and death for God willeth not the death of any man but would that all come unto Him and live. Sickness and death came into the world by Satan and it is still so today. Jesus says; “l come not to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And if yon will notice when Jesus was at sea with his dciiples there arose a great, storm, and it was about to capsize the ship, and the diciples cried out: “Lord, save us, or we p-rish.” And -lesns rebuked the winds and there was a great calm Now if the storm was of God, would Jesus rebuke Ilis Fa ther’s works/ Nay, verily, but Satan is prince of the power of the air; and it was simply Satan and his work that Jesus was re buking, for Satan wanted to take the life of Jesus and the disciples God is the “affirmative and great life-giver to all things, hut Satan is the negative and des troying poW.r.

They vary in size,! the largest being about the diameter of a split pea. There vesicles are on the surface of the skin and do not go deep. Usually there is no suppuration or pus. The disease is often accompanied by slight fever. Surrot nding each vesicle is a narrow bright red ring called an aero’la. They come out ip crops on the body; s9me times on the face and scalp; and oc casionally even in the mucous mem brane of the mouth. The blisters seldom go on to pustulation, but rapidly dry up after the fluid in them becomes opaque. In addition to slight feverishness there may be loss of ap petite, aching feeling, and catarrhal inflammation. The duration of the attack is variable. Three or four weeks is usually the extreme limit before the separation of the last crusts. Relapses do not occur. Im munity from future attacks is prac tically permanent. Rut It must be understood that chicken-pox has no relation whatever to smallpox, and the fact that a pa tient has had one of them before, nev er protects from the other. The medical name of chicken-pox is varicella. It was once regarded as a greatly modified and mild form of smallpox, but it is now known as an entirely distinct disease. One of these diseases never gives rise to the other. The attack of one con fers no immunity against the other; vaccination affords no protection against chicken-pox. and children who have recently suffered from chicken pox re act to vaccination in the or dinary manner.
