Aerial Cure
WHOOPING COUGH EXPERIMENT Mrs. L. A. Carroll, who had been perturbed of late as to the length of time that whooping cough had been with her son Michael, decided to try a speedy cure by letting the boy breathe the rarified air obtained, at great height. \ This attempt could only be done in an aeroplane, so on Saturday at the Air Pageant, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll chartered a plane, Mr. Gray’s Auster, to take Mrs. Carroll and Michael up into the rarefied air. For something like one and a half hours, Mr. Gray took his passengers out over the sea at a height of in the vicinity of 10,000 feet. Tho those on the ground, the plane looked nothing more than a silver dot in the sky. Mrs. Carroll reports that Micham’s condition seems to be consideralflP improved as a result of the experiment. In larger centres, this form of cure or relief is now carried out in a decompression chamber, and seems to be having remarkable results.
