Older persons are not so subject to attacks, but serious epidemics h shown that adults are not alwa safe from infection. “After your child has been exposed to measies he will begin to develop symptoms in about two weeks, though it may be as early as one week or late as three weeks. Usually the first symptoms will be drowsiness and pérhaps headache, with a thin watery discharge from the nose and redness around the eyes. Koplik spots occur early in the disease. These are little white spots surrounded by a red ring, which occur on the inside of the lower lip. There is fever and the child leses appetite. About the fourth day the rash appears. It starts first on the facde as little red pimples. These become thicker and thicker and spread over the face and down onto the neck and chest. The whole rash looks copper red and blotchy.~ Though it is most severe and of the brightest colon on the chest and abdomen, the rash usually coveérs the greater part of the whole body. “Any of these signs may mean that your child has measles and, as in scarlet fever, the family physician should be caled and allowed to take charge of the case at once. Don't be surprised or indignant if the doc- tor says he cannot be sure at first what the disease is. Measles is not always easy to diagnose and it often happens that physicians of long ex- perience cannot agree on a case. “When you know that the child has measles, about the same rules as were given for scarlet fever have to be fol- lowed. The child must be kept away from other children. No one but the ., dector and the' person taking care of the child should be allowed to enter sick child is. Great care should be taken that noth- ing is carried 'from the sick room and | allowed within the reach of other persons. It is a good plan for the at- tendant to wear a loose apron or other garment that can always be left in the sick room and only worn When the attendant is taking care of the pa- tient. This garment should be re- moved and hung by the sick room door when the attendant leaves, The attendant should then wash his or her hands thoroughly. “Above all, be sure that the doc- tor's orders are followed as closely as possible. Perhaps his orders may seem too strict at times, but he knows best. He knows that when the child 1s sick with measles, any unnecessary exertion may help to bring on com- plications. The complication of measles are serous, namely otitis media, pneumonia and nephritis. Otitis media is an inflammation of the inner ear which may cause deafness. It nay lead to Inflammation of the mas- toid cells in the skull which will make an operation necessary. Pneumonia everyone knows and fears. Nephritis includes a number of diseases of the kidneys, among which is the well known Bright's disease. It is not un- usual to find an old case of Bright's disease that can be traced back to an attack of measles. “To sum this all up then, measles is a serious disease, which most com- monly attacks children. It {s spread by contact and spreads very easily and rapidly, but those who have had the disease are usually immune. “It usually begins about two weeks after the child is exposed with drowsiness, headache, running of the nose and eyes, fever and loss of np-" petite. The rash apepars four ér five days later and spreads from the face to the neck and chest and then over the whole body. One of the early signs is the occurrénce of koplik spots on the inside of the lower lip. The diagnosis must be left to the physiclan, and his orders must be followsd to guard against severe complications and against spreading the disease to other persons. “Be Careful. Remember that the measles patient is seriously sick.

Dr. Jacoby sald it would be harmful to examine Spiegel at this time, as he regarded him as a con- valescent. Splegel is a voluntary pa- tient at the institution, and it is un- derstood that his mother-in-law, Mrs, Mark, is paying his expenses. Dr. Jacoby sald that so long as Splegel's expenses are met at the institution under the laws of Connecticut he can remain until he desires to leave.
