The second point of importance is that the child who has measles requires He must be kept in no matter how well he seem to be, until the doctor allows him to get usual good care. bed; may up. Getting up too soon is the way in which the child catches cold; then pneumonia may follow. The child who has measles is suffer- ing from an acute infection. It is a serious condition for the child and it should be treated as such. He should be isolated so that he will not spread the disease, and he himself should be under medical care. The attack itself may appear to be mild, but unless the the results may tell. the proper care proper care is given, No way is to be serious. one can so oniy safe give to every case.

For, although it is a preventable disease, it continues to oc- cur with a fair degree of frequency. One of the diseases Most cases of diphtheria occur a- mong school children. Most of the deaths from diphtheria occur among children below school age. It seems probable that the younger children are often infected by their older brothers and sisters who attend school. , Any sore throat occurring in a child should be regarded with suspicion. A physician should be called the very first day that the child complains of soreness or pain on swallowing. There is always a chance that the sore throat may be diphtheritic. If it does happen to be diphtheritic, the-sooner antitoxin is given the better are the chances for Almost all cases of diphth- eria that receive adequate amounts of antitoxin on the first day of the disease The death-rate increases with Anti- toxin will cure diphtheria if given early recovery, recover. each day's delay in treatment. enough and in sufficient doses.
