THE DOCTOR SAYS
Take Care to Reduce Risk
Of Measles Complications
By EDWIN F. JORDAN, M. D.
Written for NEA Service
* With the coming of fall and the
opening of schools, the common
contagious diseases of children are
likely to break out again in full
force.
Among these, measles ranks
high, and it seems wise to point
out that this common and usually
mild disease can produce serious
complications and should therefore
Breaking

The fetters of our captivity
are false and ready to be
broken. Whatever our need,
the way to turn to God —
the way of answered prayer
— is now made plain.
Through Christian
Science, a new light is shed
on the Bible promises so
• that they spring to life with
vast and vital heeling power.
As a result, countless men
and women are finding last-
ing freedom from every ill
that troubles the human
heart, mind, and body. They
are doing this through their
own thoughtful study of

This great book is proving
to be the "key" that opens
wide the truth of the Bible.
It reveals practically that

Measles to caused by a virus;
once in a while this virus attacks
the nervous system. It also weak-
ens the body so that bronchopneu-
monia or bronchitis may set in
and this too often results in se-
rious, tong-lasting difficulties with
the lungs.
When measles does develop,
therefore, precautions should be
taken to lessen the risk of compli-
cations.
Bed rest until the acute stage of
the disease is over should be en-
forced as many of the serious com-
plications come from letting the
victim out of bed too early. Plenty

should be given.
The eyes are sensitive to light,
so reading and eye strain should
be avoided. Often it is well to have
the shades in the sick room par-
tially drawn.
Tepid baths are helpful in pre-
venting itching and in soothing the
skin; constipation to common and
should be prevented. The sulfa
drugs or antibiotics may be useful
in preventing some common com-
plications.
The first symptoms of measles
develop about two weeks after
exposure to s patient who has been
ill. Since during the first three or
four days of the disease the symp-
toms resemble those of an ordi-
nary cold with slight fever, many
youngers expose others without
knowing that they have measles at
all. Indeed it to moat contagious
before the rash appears.

when there is much measles in the
community, youngsters who devel-
op symptoms of s slight cold with
fever should be kept at home and

will help to prevent the spread of
the disease to others.
Those who are exposed to mea-
sles can be prevented from devel-
oping a severe attack by an injec-
tion either of serum taken from a
person who to convalescing from
measles or by a substance called
human immune globulin.

development of the disease, if giv-
en esrly enough, or will make the
disease take a milder form
