may not be. Mental retardation has been traced directly to measles. A recent study by D. L. Miller, M.A., M.B., of London’s Central Public Health Laboratory, shows thr.t neurological disturbances occurred in 4 of every 1,000 cases. One of these 4 had encephalitis or “impaired consciousness.” The London study also shows that potentially serious complications other than encephalitis occurred in 1 out of 15 cases. They ranged from middle ear infection, sometimes attended by hearing loss, to ulcer of the cornea of the eye, and bacteria]

pneumonia.

Last year 385,156 eases of measles were reported in the U.S.—the largest total of any notifiable disease. Since only about 1 case in 10 is actually reported, the real figure, according to National Institutes of Health estimates, may be 4 million. Included in this vast total are certain to be many

tragedies.

They are all the more tragic now, since vaccination against measles is possible. Two types of multi-shot vaccines are currently available and a new improved, ore-shot type—called the Schwarz strain—is expected

soon.

Common Measles No Joking Matter

The popular notion of common measles as merely a phase of yhild development, a bothersome little illness that Junior must kave and outgrow (“just keep him quiet, he’ll get over it”) deaerves a longer, harder look. Because it just isn’t that simple.

Measles, research has now aude dear, may threaten Junior with complications heretofore unrecognized or ignored. Some may be fatal. All are being shown to be sufficiently serious and to occur often enough to make measles not a minor nuisance but a major health problem demanding prevention. Fortunately, common measles can now be prevented. New vaccines are effective and safe and any physidan can give the in-

jection.

Among the sinister effects of

Piig much-underrated disease, is neasles encephalitis. This is an Bfiammation of the brain and fc causes severe, often permanmt brain damage. In one-fourth if cases the end is death. When incephalitis does strike, no treatment can arrest the damagitg effects. Estimates of its in-

Nor does it always take ameepbalitis to produce Wain disturbances. In uncomplicated measles, brainwave changes suggest that fhe infection has upset cerebral functions. Perhaps the ■pact is temporary, but it
