hair and entire head of hair gradually
turns to an even, beautiful dark shade,
leaving all your hair healthy, fluffy,

nating; so evenly dark and handsome
o one will suspect you used La Creole.

Contagious Diseases
THEIR PREVENTION ANO CONTROL
IN SCHOOLS.
(By C. H. Verner, County Health Of
ficer.)
(Continued.)
Scarlet fever, as measles, also begins
with a fever, the same degree, 100A.
The first symptom is usually sore
throat or vomiting, and either of these
tw o occurrences in children should be
looked upon with extreme suspicion
Headache and a coated tongue are also
frequent, but in the cases which do not
begin with vomiting, a slight sore
throat may be the only sign. It is im
portant, then, both in scarlet fever and
in diphtheria, which is considered in
the next paragraph, that observation
be keen, tender and constant enough to
detect the indisposition even before a
complaint is made by the child.
Diphtheria is often thought of as a
severe sore throat. On the contrary,
the throat symptoms at first tend to be
milder and the temperature lower than
in ordinary tonsilitis. General lan
guor of weakness, however, are more
noticeable in diphtheria, although the
pain on swallowing may not be mark
ed. It must be emphasized again that
every sore throat in children, and
above all, in children’s institutions,
justifies medical attention.
There is another form of diphtheria
which is more frequent in younger
than in older children; this is laryn
geal diphtheria, formerly called mem
braneous croup. Most mothers are fa
miliar with the so-called false croup,
or catarrhal spasm of the larynx; the
only serious side of this common dis
ease is its mimicry of laryngeal diph
thearia. Laryngeal diphtheria can be
distinguished from false croup princi
pally by the fact that the child be
comes progressively worse. In false
croup there is usually no difficulty in
breathing until the sudden, suffocating
si asm comes on—oftenest in the mid
die of the night. After the attack, ex
cept for hoarseness and a barking
cough, which occur also in false croup,
the child wheezes even after sligh
1 stirring around, and uses considerable
! muscular effort in taking in and ex
' polling its breath. In severe cases, it
' is evident that not enough air is reach
’ ing the lungs.
As soon as difficulty in breathing is
1 seen in a child the physician should be
' sent for without a moment’s delay,
j There are few conditions in medicine
in which prompt action will save so
1 many lives. Cases of hoarseness with
1 a croupy cough in a children’s institu.
tion are sufficiently suspicious to de
mand medical attention within 21
hours. Still another form of diphthe
ria must be considered largely from
the opposite point of view, that of
danger to other children; this is diph
theria of the nose. Discharges from
the nose which keep up for a week, or
which causes the nostrils to become j
sere, should be regarded with suspic-I
i< n until a culture has proven that
they are not due to diphhteria, the
child meanwhile being kept apart from
others. In nasal diphtheria there may
l e other symptoms, or none which
might not be those of a common cold.
Whooping cough is insidious in its
onset. For this reason, no person j
who develops coughing spells should j
be allowed the fredom of a children's I
institution, as it may be three or four |
weeks before the typical whoop is'
heard. It is characteristic of whoop-1
ing cough, even before the whoop de-1
velops, that the cough comes in spells i
In learning to recognize the whoop the 1
most efficient teacher is a child sick
with the disease. The little patient,
often feels a seizure coming on, and
runs to a chair or to an adult for
support. The coughing becomes so j
severe and so frequent that there is j
.not Opportunity to breathe, the face
and hands sometimes are purple, and
finally through the partially closed
throat a long breath is drawn with dif
ficulty, producing the sound which is
called the “whoop.” After this, mucus
is expectorated and frequently the
child vomits. The attack is usually
repeated immediately. These double
or even triple seizures occur several
times a day, though in some patients
the disease progresses from beginningi
to end without a whoop. The decline |
of the infection is even more gradual
than its onset. For weeks or monthx
coughing spells continue, becoming
less intense and less frequent until re
covery is complete.
Mumps usually offer little difficulty;
the swelling comes on suddenly; lies I
in front of the ear ,and is painful j
when the jaw is opened wide or when I
a small spoonful of vinegar is taken ‘
in the mouth.
German measles should be called
rubella, because it is an entirely sep- ■
arate disease from measles. Chickn
j>ox and rubella may first show them
selves by eruption, so that the only
rule which can be laid down is that
every child who breaks out with a
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
rash should be isolated. A compari
son of typical cases of the different
eruptions will, however, give some in
dication as to what may be looked
for.
In chicken pox one finds scattered
irregularly over the body small red
spots which in a few hours or at
times in less than an hour become
raised hemispheres, filled with a
straw-colored fluid, sometimes with so
little inflammation that they resemble
drops of water. There may be only
a few of these “vesicles” or the skin
may be thickly dotted with them. In
a day or two the “vesicles” begin to
dry up and heal with a scab, or their
contents may first be changed to
thicker, yellowish matter. They tend
to come in crops so that some are dry
ing u,p as others are coming out The
rash in rubella consists of fine pink or
rose-red dots, somewhat larger than
the head of a pin, spread thickly over
the body surface. In scarlet fever the
eruption is similar to that of rubella,
but the dots are finer, a brighter red,
and are especially marged in the folds
of the body, while sparing the region
immediately around the lips. This, by
contrast, causes the mouth to look
pale. Usually the dots are close to
gether that the appearance is given of
an intense 'blush. In measles, on the
the other hand, spots are larger, come
out first on the face and remain mist
prominent there. This, together with
the catarrh of the eye and nose,
causes the face to appear blotchy, the
common expression being to some ex
tent justified that measles make a
handsome child ugly, while scarlet
fever makes an ugly child handsome.
To summarize the conditions which
would call for isolation and special
attention: A sore throat should make
one think of fever or diph
theria; a persistent discharge from the
nose, of diphtheria; a catarrh or cough
with fever, of measles; vomiting with
fever, of scarlet fever; weakness or
lassitude in a child previously well, of
diphtehria; a cough which come in
spells, of whooping cough; a croupy
cough of larygeal diptheria; a rash
on the skin, of measles, scarlet fever,
rubella or chicken pox.
These are general directions. Even
by rigid adherence to them some un
usual or mild cases may be over-work
ed, but every scheme of prevention
must be weighed as to feasibility and
these precautions can be depended up
on to materially diminish the proba
bility of an epidemic.
