gh during the night, apply a sponge bath every half
hour or hour.

During the day give the patient 1/4 teaspoonful of Dechmann's Plasmogen,
dissolved in 1/2 pint water, a little every hour.

In the evening and during the night alternate this blood-salt solution
with Tonogen.

Blood plasm contains eight different salts in different composition, and
only when the actual physiological composition is employed can there be
any guarantee against the decomposition of the blood-cells. Plasmogen is
such a composition.

When diphtheria and Bright's disease complicate the case, they must be
dealt with as under ordinary conditions and treated by a competent,
Hygienic dietetic physician.

If recovery is prompt and desquamation (scaling) is in progress, warm
baths may be applied for a few days.

When the temperature and urine continue normal for a few weeks, the
child may be regarded as restored to health.

MEASLES.

Measles or Rubeola is an exanthematous or eruptive contagious form of
children's disease.

In Measles the medium of contagion is the excretion from the air
passages, mucus coughed up and air exhaled; also the saliva, tears,
blood and perspiration of the patient.

In Measles also, as is the case with regard to scarlet fever, the
"contagium," or germ of contagion, is unknown.

The general susceptibility to measles is extraordinarily great the
poison being of a virulent nature.

If the disease attacks one of feeble constitution whose environment is
unfavorable and insanitary,--dwelling in badly ventilated rooms, for
instance, with little attention paid to personal cleanliness, the attack
is likely to assume a malignant form.

A period of from ten to fourteen days may elapse between infection and
the development of the symptoms.

During this period the patient may infect others.

This explains how easily a whole school may become infected.

During the preliminary period children feel tired, relaxed, suffer pain
in the joints and headache; they have chills and are feverish at
evening. Among the symptoms enumerated are catarrhal affections of the
air passages, the larynx, the nose and eyes. Constant sneezing,
nosebleeding, cough, watering eyes, ultra sensitiveness to strong
light, are concurrent conditions. At the same time the fever becomes
pronounced.

These symptoms continue for four or five days and then rapidly abate and
the eruption appears. First a red rash is seen, which spreads over the
surfa
