Children under one year of age are subject mainly to diseases of the sto- mach and bowels, and most of their troubles come from mistakes in feed- ing. The children above one year are subject to three classes of diseases-- diseases of the digestive system, dis- eases of the breathing system and contagious diseases. Sprae and Stomatitis.--M { the diseases caused by disordefed 3 get gon are first brought ab by Carel s in looking after the mouth and teeth. One of the diseas- es caused by such carelessness is called sprue. Using dirty nipples or unclean-pa cifiers, thumb-sucking, or putting things found on the floor inte the mouth; will pause stomatitis in little children. The child refuses to eat and an examination of its mouth wil show it to he red and full of little blisters or pimples. Treatment.--Clean the mouth with boracic acid solution carefully, and be sure that everything that goes in to the child's mouth is perfectly clean. Giving food cold will help. A very weak solution of baracic acid. wiped' over the sore places in the month every two hours with a piece of clean cotton, will help to cleanse and cure, Disordered Digestion. --~Disordered digestion is usually indicated by los: of appetite, headache, vomiting, someiimes a slight degree of fever and often pain _in.the stomach or bowels Treatment. --Cut down the a mount of food at once. Give a dose of castor-oil. To a child under one year give a teaspoonful; for child ren over three years, and for children from six up to twelve years of age, a tablespoonful How to Give Castor-Oil.--In giv- ing castor-oil, the mouth should firsil he cooled by ice or cold drinking w ter. The spoon should be very cold will slip off easily. The oil can coated with a little lemon juice orange juice to conceal the taste. Af- ter taking the oil, the child shoulc lie down quietly for at least a half- hour. If the castor-oil does not re- move the symptoms a dector should be sent for. Liquids and cereals sent for Liquids and cereals should be given for the most part, It is always safe to give a dose of cas- tor-oil. No harm can possibly .result from it. Do not use patent laxatives Some contagious diseases begin with vomiting, and, therefore, if the ¢castor-oil is repeatedly vomited and cannot act, the doctor should be cal- led Worms.--Children made sick by animals which live in the bowels. They are commonly cal- led "worms. The only way to be certain that they actually exist, see them in the stools ue dare sometimes oughly cooked before Do nol give being "worm medicine' ut the doctor's advice. He will give the right medicine and the right amount, and he is the only one who given are present or not. Diseases of the Chest.--The dis- eases of the chest are divided into two classes--those that belong to the upper part of the breathing system, the nose and throat; and those that belong to the chest itself Colds.--(Colds should never be ne- glected. They are caused by sudden chilling of the skin, by germs from the street or in dust. .or by catching # cold from some other person. If possible, ehildren who have colds should be kept away from other chil dren At no time should children use another's handkerchiefs, but when they have colds this is still more im- portant. The soiled handkerchiefs of children who have colds should ne ver be left about. The discharge dries is scattered as dust, and gives well people colds. The best kind of hand- kerchiefs to use at these times is the Japanese paper napkin. which costs very little. After one is used, burn it Treatment.--A cold can be treat- ed by using liquid albelene, and pat ting a few drops with a medicine- dropper into each nostril séveral times a day. This will help the child to breathe more freely. Vaseline may be applied to the forehead and the outside of the nose. The child shouid be guarded against additional cold Eavache.--If there is a discharge from the ear, commonly called "run- ning ear," consult the doetor. Do not take the advice of neighbors. Neglec! of the ears may cause deafness. Some times trouble in the ears is caused by adenoids Colds will sometimes leave a child with a buzzing in the ear, or with earache. Dry heat will give great relief. A salt-bag can be made by sewing together two pieces lof muslin, about three by five inches, and filling it Ralf full with salt. The bag and its contents are then pressed flat, heated and applied to the ear. The sait holds the heat for a long time .The finger of a glove, filled with a little salt, can be heated and the tip placed in the ear. The mother should first try the heat against her own ear. Do not put anything sharp or pointed into the child's ear. 1 persistent application of heat does not give relief, try washing out the ear frequently with water as hot as the. child 'will permit. If the pain is still bad, then the doctor sould be called. Sometimes earaches are caus- ed because some water or matter has formed back of the ear-drum, and is will be necessary, perhaps for the doctor to cut the ear-drum to let out the fluid. This need not be feared by the mother; it will give great relief to the child and need not affect thé hearing. Sore Throat.--A sore throat should never be neglected. A doctor should see it at once. It may be di Causes and s of Adenoids.-- suffer trom can positively declare whether woruis| 'THE CARE OF THE CHILD (Wo teaspoon-| | A Series of Thirteen Articles of Interest, Appearin Each Saturday. r 8 (Article VI) ~ hind the nose. They are shown by frequent colds, breathing through the mouth, and snoring when asleep. In older children the efitiré expression of the face may change. Older chil- dren who have adenoids are apt to be stupid and do not get on at'school. They have trouble in speaking, tire easily, do not eat well, and some- times are even slightly deaf, Removal of Adenoids.--In youhg- er children the doctor may. some- times be able to help the child 'with- out an operation; with older child- ren nothing can be done except to re- move the adenoids. This is a slight »peration and causes an illness last- ing only a day or two. After the ade- aoids have been removed, the child should breathe with the mouth clos- ed. Enlarged Tonsils.~--Enlarged ton- sils, which often accompany adenoids but are often found without them, will cause many sore throats and at- racks of tonsilitis, It the doctor ad- viges it, they may be removed by an operation. Croup.--Children who have been axposed to violent winds or have heavy colds will sometimes start a severe cough at night accompaniea by choking. This condition is called "croup". Call a doctor at once. While waiting for him, relief may be given by a drink of very hot milk. Let the child sit up in bed. Put a sheet over the crib so as to form a tent, and near the bed place a kettle of boil- ing water in which has been put one- half teaspoonful of tincture of ben- zoin: then turn the steam from the spout of the kettle under the tent. This makes the air moist and relie- ves the croup. Give a teaspoonful of syrup of ipecac every half-hour until the child vomits. Diseases of the Lower Breathing System.----The diseases of the lower and thoroughly wet, so that the oil | that { or | - - Isolation.~--~Generally "breathing system are frequently ser- 21 ious, and need the doctor's care. Cough Mixtures.--Cough mixtures neighbors have used for their children are not advisable, nor pa- tent cough medicines sold at the drug stores and recommended by the clerk Take only what the doctor prescribes and do what he directs. Bronchitis. -- Bronchitis, which children often have, is frequently caused by infection fram other colds: Sometimes there ' is a slight fever. Complete rest and fresh air are nec essary. Attacks of bronchitis usually last from five days to a week. Care { should be taken that the child does not eatch fresh cold, or pneumonia may result. Bronchopneumonia,-- On8 of the frequent diseases of liftle children ie acute bronchopneumonia, which at an early age is the most frequent Kind of pneumonia.

They are all diseases of children, but sometimes grown people may have them. Stages of Diseases.~--The time of these diseases is divided into four stages: the first stage begins at the time that the child is exposed to the disease, and lasts until the first sym- ptoms appear; the second stage is the time between the first symptoms of sickness and the appearance of the rash: the third stage is from the time when the rash shows until it fades and peeling begins; the last stage is the stage of peeilng. Exposing Well People~It is a mistake to believe that if one child of: a family has one of these diseases all the rest of the children must or should get it, so as to "be over with] it." It is not necessary that children should have measles or scarlet fever or any other disease. It is wrong to put a well child in the same room with a child that is sick with a con- tagious disease speaking, all children thought to have contagious diseasés should be given a room for themselves. The rest of the family, except the person who takes care of the child, should keep away from the sick child. A doctor should be calle at once. Food or clothing of any kind coming from the sick-room should be previously disinfected. If possible, necessary dishes should be washed and kept there until the child is well. Measles.--Measles are most fre- quent between the ages of one and six. Children under five months of age very seldom have them, and very few children under one year, if they are breastfed. The disease usually be- gins from eight to twelve days after exposure. The second stage, from the NEURITIS "hens Painful Effects of Chronic Rheuma-~ tism Quickly Routed by Rheuma.

This testimony is positive proof: '"Last Mafch 1 was so crippled with Neuritis in lef limb 1 could waik Irom time of the first symptoms until the rash appears, lasts from three to five days. Peeling begins within seven or eight days after the beginning of the disease. The greatest danger from measles is from bronchitis or the pneumonia which may oceur. In treating a child sick with measles, darken the child's room as long as bright iight hurts the eyes. German Measles. --German meas- les break out two or three weeks af- ter the child has been exposed to the disease. It is the most harmless of the contagious diseases. It is very mild, and takes a very short time. It resembles a light form of other meas- les. Scarlet Fever.--Scarlet fever be- gins very suddenly. It usually starts with vomiting and high fever, and the rash comes out almost at once. It occurs most frequently between the -ages of one and flve years. The disease is believed to be the most contagious while the rash is out and during the time when the rash is peeling. Everything that comes from the patient----clothing, food, anything that has in any way been touched by the patient --may retain the power of infection for months, even for directs, both in taking carg of the pa- tient and in protecting the other members of the family. Scarlet fever may cause kidney disease, deafness, pneumonia and several other serious diseases. Small-pox;.-- Persons with small. pox must be sent to a hospital. Vacei- nation is the only protection people have against small-pox. Children should preferably be vaccinated be- tween the time they are four and six months old. They should be vaccinat- ed again at the ages of five and twel- ve years. Chicken-pox.-- Chicken-pox is us- ually a mild contagious disease. It may take from two to eight days from the time the child has been ex- posed until the rash comes out, The little blister-like spots of the rash come out a few at a time. There is a mild fever After a few days the blisters dry up and little scabs form. Children should not be allowed to go into the street or' to play with other children until every one of these scabs has dried and fallen off At times the child feels so well when it has the ebicken-pox that it is hard to make it stay in bed. There is a little danger that pneumonia may follow chicken-pux if the child-is not pro- perly cared for in bed while there is fever Diphtheria.--Diphtheria is an ae- is a very dangerous illness. If antito- xin is used early, there is little dan- ger of death from diphtheria. Take no chances. in cases of sore throat, ute disease of the nose or throat, andj and call in the doctor early. Only a doetor can decide whether or not the case is one of diphtheria 1 there is any doubt as to the cause of ¢hoking and hoarseness, antitoxin should be given at once A child should not be allowed to get out of bed until the doctor permits. Diph- theria may affect the heart if the child gets up too soon. Only after the doctor has stated that the throat or nose is free from diphtheria germs, should the patient be allowed to go out of the house ' or to play with children. Contagious Diseases without Rash« es.--There are many congafious dis- eases that are not accompanied by a rash Whooping-cough. Whooping- cough is considered one of the dan- gerous diseases of childhood, because of its possible complications The violent coughing sometimes causes a rupture Pneumonia often occurs during the disease. Consumption may follow. Children who have unis dis- ease need plenty of fresh air. It is wrong to take them to places where there are children, and expose these to the disease. More children die whooping-cough than from and scarlet fever com- If the child vomits, give it more food It is important to keep up the child's strength Give no medicine unless the doctor advises Mumps.--~--Mumps cause a swelling of the face in front of the ear. They are common among children [from small-pox bined come out, and is highly contagious. After the third week it is usually safe fer the patient to play with oth- er children. Typhoid Fever.--Typhoid fever is a disease due to germs. It is usually caused by drinking water or milk that contain the germs. Many people who have had typhoid fever may car- ry typhoid, germs in their bowels for a long time. Such persons are at times able to spread the disease through dirty habits, or by handling other persons'. food with unclean hands. Flies very often carry the ty- hoid germs and spread them over food, nipples, glasses and the like. The typhoid germ is almost always taken into the * body through the mouth. Children under two years seldom have it, and few under five years, but it is common between five and fifteen years of age. Influenza.--Influenza or La Grip- pe is another germ disease, and is apt to make children very ill. The inflamation it brings about may ef- the stomach and bowels, or the ner- ves and brain, sometimes all of these, It may be followed. by pneumonia. The patient should be kept away from the rest of the family, just as in' any other contagious disease. Fumigation.~--After all contagious diseases the home should : be thor oughly disinfected and all $ killed. This is called fumigation. In most cities the board of health will gate the room in which the patient has been lying. It is a good plan to fumigate the other rooms. about the patient, will disinfect them. In boiling dishes and silver, wash: basins, scissors, nail-files, etc. should be added to the water. eyes are affected, should always have plenty of sunlight, or at least as much as possible.
