Because it is highly infectious, | its victims must be isolated) uickly, But to distinguish the sease from others like croup was difficult; both usually pro- duce honking, barking coughs. | Whooping cough should be treat- ed early; bronchitis or pneu- monia may follow it, and its! paroxysms of coughing can cause brain damage. Wrongly diagnosed, children with croup can be put in isola-| tion and there pick up whooping cough. Or children with the dis- "| ease may not be isolated and infect others. For a long time) the only certain diagnosis was) « to take a swab of mucous from the child's throat and incubate) it to see if the germs were there. | This took up to five days and! chaos could occur meanwhile.

It's Wilson's Ginger Ale of course. And here's why. A formula, developed dur- ing 88 years of experience (and exclusive to Wilson's) gives just the right balance of true ginger flavor and carbonation to please the most particular palate. So, if you like ginger ale to taste like ginger ale; you'll buy Wilson's--and get more real refreshment -- more for your money, too. Wiles The Prestige GINGER ALE 64-3 DR.
