While no quarantine signs have been posted, it is suspected that dozens of children have the disease, The following article has been prepared by the nurses to acquaint the public with the of the disease. Whooping cough begins with signs of cold and cough. The cough presists and tends to get worse, especially at night. After one or two weeks the characteristic whoop usually ' appears. However, one may have the disease without whooping. The disease ia spread by discharges from nose and throat and is most infectious during the first week or itwo before the whoop begins. Whooping cough vaccine has proven of great value in preventing the disease among those exposed. It Is especially urged for all susceptible contacts under 5 years of age and those in delicate health. All children with colds or coughs should be kept at home. All parents should see that the young children remain at home and avoid crowds. All parents should consult their family physician regarding vaccination. If each parent and child will cwperate, this need not spread further in the community. Even though the well older child can withstand the after effects, let us remember the infants and children with delicate health. It is our responsibility as public spirited citizens to prevent on epidemic of major importance by observing all precautions. Arrangements have been made, the nurses said, to have the county physician call on the families where whooping cough is suspected, determine if the disease la present and post quarantine signs whereever necessary. pre-scho- ol |
