Strep Throat
Thanks to suifa.'^nimide,
streptococcus sore throat, one
pf the most common diseases, hav
been conquered. People stili suffer
from it; itf^cure is often disr>> .e-
aM ttylng; but'it is rarely a
killer now.
Sulfanilimide is a drug whjch was
first successfully used against thb
disease a few years ago when Presi-
dent Roosevelt’s son John was
itricken by streptococcus infection
of the throat. Its discovery, accord
ing to Maxine Davis whose article
on “Strep Throat” appears in tha
February issue of Good Housekeep-
ing Magazine, resulted while a gvoun
of scientists at Johns Hopkins wf r»
studying’’a drug, said to combat th«
disease, which they had brough.
from England.
This is the time of year when the
danger of the dfea^ed throat disease
is greatest. It jpets you when you
least expect it and when you come
down with a strep throat you are
really sick. You suddenly feel ill and
your temperature hits between 102
and 104.
When you feel like this never wait
to see if you will feel better tomor
row, advises Miss Davis. Instead,
Miss Davis tells her readers, to call
a doctor, for it is most important
that he make a diagnosis at once.
It is important. Miss Oavis writes,
“that we know about it, for some
time or other most of us get sor4
throats. The threat is always with
us, because our mouths and throats
are invariably full of germs, includ
ing streptococci. So long as we have
a stout defense in general health and
immunity we are all right. Let us
get run down, or be subject to a mass
attack of the bacteria so numerous
that they can storm onr protective
white blood cells, then we get a
sore throat.”
Streptococcus sore throats, she
says, occurs in isolated cases or in
epidemic form.
In warding off the dreaded strep •
tococci germ, Miss Davis has listeu
the following suggestions:
Take care of your teeth and gums,
for they are the first source of in
fection; have your tonsils and ade
noids removed if they are infected;
take care of sinus trouble; take care
of yourself generally: try vitamin
A if you are inclined to catch cold
easily; don’t get your feet wet; don’t
get chilled; get as much exercise and
sleep you can.
