With the approach of fall and
the attendant seasonal changes of
weather, common colds become
much more prevalent and wide-
spread in the state.
Dr Geo W Cox State Health
Officer, has issued a warning
against the careless treatment of
any respiratory illness since they
can and frequently do result in
the dreaded complication, pneu-
monia. He emphasized the fact
that pneumonia usually strikes
with little or no warning, follow-
ing a simple cold, an attack of In-
fluenza or some other respiratory
infection.
"A cold or any other Infection
of the breathing passage, especial-
ly If accompanied by fever, de-
mands the immediate attention of
a doctor," the State Health Of-
ficer said. "To try to fight such a
uisease without bed rest and by
means of self-medication may en-
danger life unnecessarily."
According to Dr. Cox, prevention
is better than cure and in .o.der
to avoid colds, influenza, and pneu-
monia he advised building up nor-
mal physical resistance by suf-
ficient ventilation, adequate nour-'
ishing food, outdoor exercise and
sufficient sleep and rest. “How-
ever," he added. "If, in spite ol sucn
care, a respiratory illness develops,
the family doctor should be called
immediately."
The fact that pneumonia is de-
finitely a communicable disease is
olten overlooked, Dr. Cox stated,
but this should be borne in mind
so that the danger of passing the
disease from one person to another
can be eliminated.
