Advice was given as regards isolation of tho patient, and other
precautions to be taken. There is a tendency to look upon measles and
whooping cough as very slight complaints, in which little care is
needed; and it would seem that the value of the visits lay chiefly in
counteracting this idea, and emphasizing the need for special
precautions and often for medical treatment.
Inquiries were also made as to whether other children in the house
were excluded from school. In cases where children of the same family
are sent to different schools, those attending one will perhaps be kept at
home, and those attending another will be sent as usual, or all kept
from day schools but allowed to go to Sunday schools.
