H. Q. HASTINGS CO., SEEDSMEN, ATLANTA. OA. TO PREVENT MEASLES Control Measures for Disease as Given by City Health Officer T. ' ? ' v . ":"V ' ? "? vV ? ? Measles is caused by au' invisible virus, this virus is contained ip the discharges of the nose and.njiouth, and may be conveyed to a distance of four or five feet by droplets expelled during coughing or sneezing. Measles is the most infectious of all the common diseases, and nearly all non immune persons catch it after direct exposure to a person who has the disease. A - lifetime immunity usually follows an attack of .measles, but people often report that a child who has had the .disease previously. Some people pronounce any marked skin eruption accompanied by fever to be measles. They frequently con found hives and German measles with measles. The period of incubation is about two weeks, but may be scarcely more than one week. The first symptoms of the disease are those of an ordi nary cold in the head, and consist of sneezing, coughing, running nose, and red eyes, a fever is present in a few hours after the beginning of theso signs. The indefinite symptoms last for four or five days, and then an eruption of red papules appears on the forehead, and soon spreads over the body. But an eruption' on the inner surface ofv the cheeks usually appears on the second or third day after the signs of a cold appears. They are usually few in number, each of which is rose red and have a min ute whitish center, and are located opposite the molar teeth. They usually <JisaPP<?ar soon after the skin eruptions appears, The 'eruption On the skin lasts from four to six days, and is followed immediately by a fine desquamation of the skin. This des quamation is in coiftrast with that in scarlet fever, as in scarlet fever the desquamation appears after two or more weeks, and is coarse and pften consists of sheets of skin. Measles o{ten produce pneumonia, kidney disease, earache and running ears, especially in poorly nourished chil dren. These complications frequently cause death. The disease is dangerous, and therfc is good reason for taking all possible precautions against its spread. The period of isolation is seven days from the appearance of the rash and until all discharges from the nose, ears, and throat have disappeared/ and until the cough has ceased. The virus is not long lived, and strict cleanliness is sufficient to kill the germs that are given off by the patient. The prevention and control of measles are peculiarly difficult for two reasons: first, the lack of] co-operation of the people in sup pressings the disease because they be lieve it to be more annoying than dangerous. The secend is the diffi culty or recognizing the disease dur ing the first four or five days after its onset. This is the period when the germs are given off in the great est abundance and most virulent form. Most cases are caught from children during the period when the symptoms are those of a common cold. Isolate every person vho is known to have the disease, and every child that has signs of an acute cold, until the nature of the sickness is de termined. Exclude from school for two weeks everynon-immune child in the family in which there is a case after being exposed to the disease. Little or nothing is known about the micro-organism that causes Ger man measles. The incubation period is from two tq three' weeks. The disease is caught by contact. The eruption an<) sickness lasts about three days. measures consist in | patient during the The ytci ia mild, And disease lies in ttarlet fever Effective March JO * $50 Price Cut HUDSON- ESSEX And applying on HUDSON BROUGHAM.
