TfarftUy, February 2,1900 ' »*ff«P"""f- i. 11 THE MaBKmtY PLAINDEAUHt imMTBTXL£ rilElXONIA f£ tMWzJ, < Pneumonia^ is considered a yearffma4 disease, yet, because in MU]r cases it seems to follow m cold, more attention to be directed against the during the .winter months, early signs often resemble tbo«e of a cold. . Caused by a germ, the disease usually descends quickly on the victim and may develop while he la working or sleeping, according '40 a Health Talk issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society. \ it is estimated that more than per cent of cases of inflam- Vatioi; of the lungs is due to the jbacteriiim called the pneumococcus. Other pneumonias stem from the streptococcus or straphylocqpcus. Still another type is caused by a virus. The bacteria, of Whatever sort, reach the lung by way of the nose and throat. They Are passed from one person to another by direct contact, as in kifesing, or by the often invisible droplets emitted in the sneezing ai coughing of another person. vQCfl the germs have reached the hose or throat, invasion of the lUnge develops when resistance is lowered by undue exposure, fatigtie or the common cold. The germs pass into the bronchial tttbes and air cells of the lung, .where they affect the lung subftavce itself and ca4kse inflammation. .Ekpasure to bad- weather, wet pet, chilling, dampness and Mpoholism are contributing factors. Typical symptoms are shaking chill, rise of temperature, a aharp "catching" pain on breathing or coughing, and the expectoration of rusty, "prune juice" appearing, or blood-tinged mucus. The last is often absent in children and occasionally in adults. Age is a consideration in pneumonia for it is more dangerous in babies and in aged persons. It was 9&ce known as "the old people's jrfend." The disease affects all {roups of people from infancy to old age, however. Pneumonia once was fatal in approximately one of every three cases, either directly or by way of its . complications. With the advent' of the sulfonamide drugs and penicillin, however, the great mortality of pneumonla has been reduced to about -JtiP«r cent ; Despite these advances, how- ter, the threat of pneumonia ould not be minimized. It is 111 the principal cause of death In the 1 to 5 years group. A doctor •ihoutd be consulted at once and "his direction? for care of the <]>atient carefully followed to rethe hazards of this-infection the respiratory tract. HEADLIGHT GLARE NUMBER ONE ENEMY OF NIGHT DRIVERS Headlight glare is the number one enemy of the millions of Illinois motorists who drive at night, Chas. W. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, announced. He revealed that one out of every three motorists driving on highways after dark forgets or refuses to dim his lights for approachiug cars. These inconsiderate practices are particularly perilous, at this time of the year, due to longer holirs of darkness and unusually adverse weather conditions. Forty-six per cent of the motor accidents reported on Illinois highways last year occurred from dusk to daWn. Accident reports showed that a great number of these accidents were either directly or indirectly caused by glariug headlights. Mr. Hayes, pointed out that headlight glare can cause temporary blindness lasting seven seconds during which time an auto ipov'ng 40 miles an hour will have traveled 420 feet with its driver unable to see traffic signals, other cars or pedestrians in its path. For safer night-time driving tbe Chicago Motor Club sugge3ts that you always lower headlight beams when approaching other cars from the front or rear; keep your eyes trained on the center line or on the road shoulder; slow down tor night driving; make frequent stopoverB on long trips to rest your eyes and reduce fatigue and strain; be extra alert for pedestrians and cars parked along the road; if you must stop, pull off the roadway or as far to the right as possible, keeping tbe parking and tail lights on as a warning to other cars; don't drive if you feel drowsy.
