Tells Cure. : Columbia, Mo., Jan. 8—Pneumonia is already more prevalent this winter than during the last thre or four years, according to the preventive medicine department of the Univer- sity of Missouri; and to help combat the disease in the state, the University has issued the following bulletin con- cerning the symptoms and treatment: Pneumonia is an infectious discase occurring at all seasons of the year, but it is most common during the winter and spring months, It is pro- duced by a germ and can be spread from one individual to another ° by close contact. Infection of the lungs causes severe general symptoms such as high temperature, delirium, and frequently death. The on-set of pneumonia is similar to that of a cold going suddenly from the cold- like stage to the stage of severe symptoms. There is considerable pain in the chest during the early stage of the disease. This pain is quite frequently referred to the abdo- men and in the early stages is often confused with appendicitis. The breathing and the pulse are fast and the fever is high. The patient usually coughs and occasionally spits up sputum streaked .with bright red blood, Later in the disease, this sput- um takes a brown color, Plenty of fresh air should be ‘kept in the room of the patient. This fresh air should be warm, however, and should get into the raom by pass- ing over a radiator or stove. People havitig pneumonia should be given at st one bath every day in luke warm Ww The patient should be in- duced to drink large amounts of water during the entire course of the disease. Food should be rich and soft. No meat should be given a pa- ter, tient who has pneumonia, Milk, but- ter, custards, ice cream and similar soft rich foods are essential, In all cases of pneumonia, a doctor should be consulted even in the stage in which it appears as a severe cold The proper carly treatment is very es- Persons having pneumonia room by them- highly con- othing, and | sick room should sential, should be kept in : 5, as_the dis tag Clothing articles used in the be disinfected. Pneumonia is more likely to be contracted by persons who are over- worked, become chilled, or have their resistance lowered by severe colds or a weakening disease, such as typhoid fever, Extreme care should be taken at this time of year and on until late spring by all muividuais to keep their general health at its height. Pre tion should be taken ,to isolate per- sons who take pneumonia and to call medical assistance in time not only to help the patient but to protect oth- er members of the family and other children in the schools from becom- ing exposed, FOR MUNITIONS HEAD SHORT STORIES Of Local Interest—Clipped From a Our Exchanges.
