As twoof the nurseries took in children from two weeks old, it was most essential that they should \nnot be exposed to the infection, and it was gratifying to find that Pertussin was a means of preventing the \n \n \nspread of the disease. \n\u201cIn another private school, a child came back after the holidays with a fully developed whooping cough, in spite \nof carrying a doctor's certificate as being free from any infectious disease. All the twelve children in her class \nwere infected. \n\u201cThe headmistress, on my advice, gave Pertussin 30 four doses hourly, and the children had the mildest attack \nof whooping cough she had ever seen. She was grateful to Homoeopathy, and to the nosode Pertus sin for \nturning so serious a disease into a mild one.\u201d","Chest":"Stinging pain in or on the chest with cough.
