the lungs.
So All Exposure to Cold Must be Avoided.
The Infection of Measles is easily conveyed by the clothing of persons
not themselves attacked by the disease.
Should you have the disease in your home, forbid your house to ALL,
and let nobody from your house go into any one else's.

Any articles which will not bear toiling should be thoroughly washed
with Carbolic Soap, and then freely exposed to the out-door air.
