CHRONIC ILLNESS Any condition that keeps the pa tient sick or inactive for a long period of time is considered chronic illness. The fact that the group of diseases falling into the category of chrdhic illness is growing larger all the time is reflected in the advances of medicine which have reduced the acute illness to a short period of recovery. If we are going to live longer, the changing processes of the body in the older years will bring about chronic illness, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society explains . in HEALTH TALK. While certain conditions provoke a chronic illness in the older age group, there are some that affect young adults and even children. Among these are rheumatic fever, tuberculosis and some blood diseases such as leukemia. Fully one-half of the chronically ill are below the ages of forty-five and 16 per cent are below twenty-five; Among the conditions requiring prolonged care are certain types of heart disease, including arteriosclerosis, cerebral vascular accidents or the so-called "stroke" or apoplexy, arthritis, various forms of paralysis, including other chronic disabilities resulting from disease or accident. The care of the old and; the person with chronic illness is necessarily a community problem which calls for understanding. No one who has worked to maintain himself can easily settle down to inactivity and dependence on another. And that is why there .are three important aspects in chronic illness: prevention, care of the chronically ill patient and rehabilitation. Prevention can be achieved in some measure by educating the young to an adequate knowledge of good nutrition, since this is one of the most important fundamentals in good health. The periodic physical examination is another basic step. Cancer and tuberculosis are notable examples, for if these conditions are detected early, recovery is assured. Whether cared for in the home, hospital or nursing home, the chronically ill patient requires special attention. Long hours of bed rest can result in bed sores which are most uncomfortable. Turning the patient carefully at different intervals will obviate the development of this condition. Clean linens, a bright tray and a cheerful smile will do much to keep the patient in good spirits. Th£ person caring for the patient should have the ability to convey understanding so that the patient's mind will be free of worry that he is a burden. A person wilh chronic illness should be inspired to new interests or resuming old ones. Any hobby, whether it is making doll clothes or whittling boats can be stimulating. It is the mental stimulus that counts, as well as the graded physical activity of bringing muscles into play. While it is true that many chronically ill patients, especially those with fatal and malignant disease, or with permanent derangements of the brain, cannot be restored to complete usefulness, the majority of them can be given new hope, new life, and a new and rightful place in the community. SAFEGUARDING YOUR CHILD hurst, the Larry Strandquist, Jr., family of Wheaton, Mr. and Mrs. C. Sheppard of Beverly Hills, Mr. and Mrs. Don Bult, also of Beverly Hills and Mr. and Mrs. J. Gangel of Chicago. The happiness of your home can be marred by a preventable accident to your child. A day seldom passes that some youngster is not maimed or subjected to great pain through an accident caused by carelessness in the home, according to* the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society "in Health Talk. And this inattention to safety factors in the home is your responsibility. A child is naturally curious. You know he loves to pop things into his mouth. Bottles and boxes, loosely - lying about with their dangerous contents of disinfectants, insecticides, caustics, pills, "tacks and nails intrigue the youngster. Once swallowed, any one of these objects can prove a source of great harm. But, if stored beyond reach of the exploring little hands, they ' are, useful instruments for the purpose intended. What about the old ice-box, stored in some corner of the yard, garage ov basement? A delightful place to play hide and seen? No, because too many youngsters have died of suffocation in these discarded ice-boxes. A child can die of burns, or suffer excruciating pain . for months, yet how often does a busy mother leave the handles of cooking utensils with their boiling contents turned outward on the stove. These attract'inquisitive hands. They also are knocked over easily if mother brushes against them as she moves Quickly about the kitchen. Modern . day electrical appliances are a boon to the housewife, but they are also a source of potential danger to the child. Hot irons left to cool can cause burns. So cdn neglected electric cords and sockets. And matches an<J cigarette lighters should be out of reach of the small child. Window screens, if insecure, can be pushed out, leaving the youngsters free to> explore the outside world. Injuries incurred in these fails are serious and often i fatal... Check your screens to be sure they are firmly secure. Sharp knives and scissors should never be left about. Disastrous results have occurred in the small child's hands. Safeguarding yotir child from accident means, too, that you must employ all the safety tips possible in your daily life. Chil-. drert are great imitators. Just to say "do or don't" is not enough. You must adhere! to the safety rules yourself. For example, are you the type who will walk against the red light, holding your child by the hand? If you are, hpw do you expect the youngster to remember that red means "don't walk?" The safety rule is to wait for the green light. When you start your automobile, do you check to see that the path is clear of small fry? They have a way of appearing suddenly out of nowhere, it seems, only to be crushed by moving wheels. So do your part to help keep your child safe. Check your home for safety precautions and check yourself to see that you abide by them. Help your child 1 to understand traffic regulations by adhering to them yourself. Keep your home free of accidents.
