TO WATCH CHILD
DURING EPIDEMIC
Clinic hospital; reported this week.
Although there have been no fa-
talities here to da^ -Dr. Rhoade3
is urging parents to observe their
children closely, and at the first
signs of vieveVi* takeT the child to
their family physician,^™-.
I Approximately 30 cases of the
disease have been treated at the
hospital within the'past 30 days.
Severity of the cases seems to be
diminishing, Dr. Rhoades said, but
so far there has been no decrease
in" the. number, . ,
Doctors at Hfidland and Odessa
have come to-the conclusion that
adults' are carriers of the dis^aS^T
which is much more severe in chil-
dren. Adults who have had severe
chest colds, rawness of the throat
and persistant coughing should
stay away from children as much
as possible, the doctor advised.
' Children should be kept out, of
public places as much as possible,
he said, urftii the epidemic dies
..down. Children with colds should
be kept away from other children
as much as possible.
