Staff Correspondent) Washington, March 25. — (United Pre; s.)-Guard against pneumonia this spring. From f> to 10 p«-r cent of all deaths that oenr are due to this dis-i ! ease. Dr. Hugh S. Cummings, surgeon | gem ral of the United States health service warns . The disease may occur at any age. 1 but it is most common in young children and in old people. It occurs more than twice as often in males as in females, due largely to the fact that men are more generally exposed to conditions which help cause it. "Lobar pneumonia is most prevalent in the winter months and in early spring," Dr. Cumming said. "The direct cause of pneumonia is infection of the lung tissue by a microscopic vegetable germ known as pneumococcus. "The symptons of the disease are quite pronounced. The onset is very abrupt, the patient experiences a rather severe chill and rapidly develops a high fever. There is often a severe pain in the side, there is a short dry cough and the breathing is very rapid, the rate being from 40 to 50 breaths per minute in adults, instead of normal IS breaths. “There may be headache, sleeplessness and convulsions as the disease develops," he said. “Pleurisy is a common complication of pneumonia and another complication which may take place is an extension of the inflammation to the lining membranes of the heart. Another serious complication is meningities amt pneumonia as a complication is nearly always fatal.” Treatment of pneumonia calls for a nkilled physician, Dr. Cumming said. The fever usually lasts from six to ten days and the crisis is generally reached on the ninth day, in severe cases. Pneumonia is most common in persons having outdoor occupations and very often follows severe exposure to cold. CHILDREN'S NIGHT COUGHS Stopped Almost Instantly Children very frequently have spells of night coughing due to brou-l .1,;,,; initutivii.- or while- suffeHng! from eold ftese cougfifng spelliJ it not quickly checked, are very in- i jupious tc,. the chi’d’s health to say] nothing of the annoyance to others. I a famous physician's prescription I called Thoxlne much better than patent medicines and cough syrups acts on a different principle, re-i Sieves the irritation and r/ops the cough in a few minutes. In fact it is guaranteed to stop night coughs or sore throat within 15 minutes or money back. Contain no chloroform.; dope or other harmful drugs, pleasant taste and safe. 35c, COc and sl.
