Ye Bypass wey February 5, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 35 ORVIS GIVES WARNING OF MEASLES DANGER Health Officer Gives Hints on Prevention and Care; Epi- demics Elsewhere Dr. H. A. Orvis, Winnetka Health officer, and who, on February 1, as- sumed similar duties for the village of Kenilworth, gives the following valua- ble information and advice relative to the disease of measles, now so prev- alent throughout many sections and which promises to assume the propor- tion of an epidemic in certain quar- ters: "We have very few cases of measles in Winnetka at this time. It promises, however, to be one of those years when measles are very prevalent, as in 1923. Our neighboring cities show a high incidence. The season of great- est occurrence is just ahead, being the months of April and May. We can hardly expect to escape for long. "Measles, really a serious disease, caused over 2,400 little people to lose their lives from 1918 to 1925. There is never a year in which this disease does not take its toll. The greater number of deaths occur in children less than five years of age, the percent at this age being seventy-eight. Fifty- four percent of deaths from measles are in children less than two years of age. Thus is shown the importance of keeping young children from exposure. Should they become exposed, look for the onset of the disease in twelve to sixteen days. Put the child to bed in a warm room, where the temperature is from 60 to 70 degrees, and with light covering. Give him plenty of water and milk to drink, with cereals for diet. "See that there is a source of mois- ture in the room, especially during cold months. It is wise to have the advice of a physician in all except the mildest cases. "The complications of pneumonia and middle-ear abscess often develop just after one feels the disease has subsided. Thus it will be seen how important is the after care in the case of measles. "If an older child in the home is exposed, remove the baby before the onset of the disease. The infectious- ness of measles is greatest just as the case comes down, which is before diag- nosis is usually made. That is the rea- son for the difficulty in the control of the disease, and why it is always pres- ent in a large city. "Let us remember that if we keep measles from the baby until he is five vears old, we will save two lives for each one hundred cases."
