Health ' COKI.IAC DISEASE Cocllac disease Is a comparatively rare condition, but Its gravity war rants common knowledge of its na ture. It Is seen almost entirely in chil dren, appearing to be more common among girls, and most frequently appears in the second year of life, though Infants as young as eight months and children over-three have been known to be affected. ' The disease affects the digestive system, and in consequence the en tire constitution. The afflicted child suffers a chron ic looseness of bowels, marked muB cular weakness and wasting, Tho stools are characteristic. They are not watery, but loose. Their consistency and appearance aro that of oatmeal. They are copious In quantity of fensive in odor, and full of mucus. Tho wasting process may not be marked, but the child Is not robust. Its abdomen is likely to be mark edly prominent and it musculature flabby. As time passes, the child grows older, but not bigger. Its physical development appears arrested, though It may show pre cocious mental and emotional traits. Thirst is a prominent feature in the disease, due, no doubt, to the large loss of body fluids in the stools. The cause of the disease Ib un known. It may be due to dietary errors, though bacterial Infections are suspected. Probably It is due to a combination of forces.. Treatment Is mainly along dietary lines. , The child's Intolerance for certain common foods such as raw milk, bread, fruits and vegetables must be studied, and adequate substitutes or modified forms of the foods must be found. Such treatment of necessity calls for full and patient cooperation be tween physician and parents. The condition Is curable, but the treatment Is long drawn out. Children successfully treated may and frequently do "catch up" In their physical development.
