Pinkerton, child specialist from Lima, addressed members of the Parent-Teachers association at the Bluffton High school auditorium Tuesday night. Also talking at the meeting was the county health nurse, Mrs. Chambers, who told of the work of the county in promoting the health of children. Dr. Pinkerton discounted the theory that children must get the usual run of childhood diseases. With care for diet, sleep and im munization the child need not have any of the diseases. Whooping cough is specially ser ious for young children. The medi cal profession has experienced un usual success, however, in preventive measures for this child disease. The common cold should be a matter of far more serious concern than most parents consider it.

The child should go to bed, keep warm at all times and stay out of school so as not to affect others. Fever usually accompanies the cold of a child but not adults, the child specialist stated. The complications resulting from the common cold are often of a serious nature and every effort should be used in controlling colds of children.
