MUSSER WEEKLY HEALTH TALK FROM STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT “There are many diseases that lend themselves to the efforts of state health departments. But, decidedly, whooping cough is not one of them. Its ability to spread is amazing; and this, in spite of every method adopted by officials to prevent it,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel Secretary of Health, during the week. “Unfortunately, by far the major portion of parents are prone to view this childhood trouble as inevitable. And the attitude of ‘the sooner they get it and get over it, the better’ is a phil- osophy as general as it is unsound. “It is true that many older children seem to suffer no noticeable conse- quences after having contracted this disease. But even in this class it is not infrequent that pneumonia or tuber- culosis follows in its wake, “On the other hand, where very whooping cough last year in Pennsyl- vaina 98 per cent were found to-be of children under 5 years of age. “It is perhaps owing to the lack of appreciation on the part of fathers and mothers as to the killing and crippling possibilities of this malady that its spread is always so rapid “While it.is out of the question to Keep children from other young peo- ple, it is quite possible, on the other hand, to realize that a cold in the young may be a forerunner of whoop- ing cough. A physician should there- fore at onec be consulted and the child kept away from other youngsters. It is at this time, usually prior to diagnosis, that the disease is highly contagious Such a rule may seem a hit strict, but if it were followed, the whooping cough incidence would show a marked decline “Too often doctors and health de- partments do not learn of the case un- til it is well defined and the child, by contact, has involved many others. And too frequently, neither the doctor nor the health departemnt hears of fie case at all, the parents disliking the quarantine. Both attitudes are care- less and the latter is inexcusable, sel- fish and criminal. “Whooping cough is a mean enemy to fight, and without the whole hearted | and intelligent co-operation of the old- er members of the family it will contin- ue to do much damage. A child has a right to live. Don't deny it that priv- lige whether it is your own or your neighbors because of carelessness or selfishness. If eventually whooping cough is to be removed from its pres- ent power, parents, and not health de- partments; will have to do it. BLAME MINOR ILLS FOR HEAVY LOSSES IN STUDIES Over three thousand years of school life are lost annually to the pupils of Pennsylvania through illness, chiefly due to the so-called minor communi- cable diseases and the common cold, reported Dr. J. Bruce McCreary, chief of the buerau of child health. In commenting on the statement Dr. McCreary said, “Not only is absentee- ism one of the penalties consequent on the mis-styled minor communicable diseases, but is one of the reasons for many child deaths. “Theer appears to be a false idea prevalent in the minds of the laity as to state. typhoid fever and diphtheria are pro- perly classified as master Killers, inas- much as the number of deaths from these diseases is exceedingly high. On the other hand the minor diseases are responsible to a greater extent for the loss of life because of their tremen- dous prevalence. For example, during the first seven months of last year, measles killed six times as many young people as did typhoid fever, yet mea- sles killed only one out of each hun- dred while typhoid killed one out of every five. Moreover the minor diseases not on- ly kill more people than the so-called major diseases, but they result in con- ditions which lead to pneumonia, bron- chitis, bright’s disease, tuberculosis, de- fective vision and hearing.” Dr. McCreary asserted that until the parents fully realize their personal ob- ligation to control conditions that tend to destroy resistance to the communi- cable diseases, these diseases will con~ tinue to take their vast toll in death, resultant physical defects and absen- teeism form school. BOARD URGES ANGLERS TO KEEP AFTER BASS TILL END Reports are coming from various sec- tions of Pennsylvania stating that the bass season is the best for some time. I'he clear and low water has made the fishing especially good in the early morning and late afternoon. The board of fish commissioners advises fishermen to set out a few more times before the close of -the season. I'he recent good weather has assist- ed the board in the distribuiton of bass vhich has just been completed, and al- so in the construction of 100 daphnae ponds which will be used in ocnnection with the propagation of bass. These ponds will furnish food for the young bass until they are sent ot the hatch- eries where they are hel duntil they reach a size of from two to four inches. QUARANTINE MANY.
