2,800 Deaths
From Pneumonia
Austin, Texas.—According to Dr.
George W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, pneumonia caused over 2,800
deaths last year in Texas, a reduca-
tion over the previous years but
still too high. It is more prevalent
during the winter and spring
months.
Pneumonia is usually caused by a
germ called the pneumococcus,
which many of us have lurking in
our throats ready to start trouble
when our resistance to it is lower-
ed. We can keep up our resistance
by avoiding undue fatigue and a
voiding unnecessary exposure to ex-
treme weather conditions. When
we go out into the cold, additional
wraps should be sufficient to pro-
tect us. Keeping the temperature
of our homes as low as Is consistent
with comfort will greatly lessen the
difficulties encountered in adjust-
ing ourselves to the cold when we
go out.
Another method of prevention in
| pneumonia is not to neglect a cold,
for the common cold often results
In pneumonia when neglected. A
person with a severe cold should
stay at home and call his physician
as a precautionary measure. Then
he should follow his physician’s ad-
vice until the cold has disappeared.
The successful treatment of a
pneumonia case often depends up-
on beginning treatment very early.
That is why a physician should be
called at once In such cases. A pat-
ient may really have beginning
pneumonia when he thinks it is
only a cold. If the physician’s ad- J
vice is sought for the cold he will
have an opportunity to start treat-
ment early if pneumonia occurs in
such cases.
