The important point made by the writer in this passage is that ---- .
For many years whooping cough has been
regarded merely as a bother to the patient and a
nuisance to others; as, in fact, a trivial disease.
Unfortunately; this is not so: because statistics
show that it has caused more deaths than polio,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and measles put
together. Whooping cough begins in a child as an
ordinary cold with cough and slight fever, and this
stage lasts for a week or ten days. Then begins a
series of coughs following in rapid succession,
during which time, the patient is unable to
breathe. The "whoop" is caused by the noisy in
drawing of breath when the fit stops. The face
may become blue and congested. Bronchitis is
usually present, and bronchopneumonia may
result as a complication, so inoculation of all
children before the disease has a chance to strike
them is most important.
