From The Hawaiian Gazette, Honolulu, Hawai, Jan. 2, 1917.
A hundred years ago, an ad states:
Sometimes it is interesting to step back in time, and see what sort of things were of concern 100 years ago that we don't really think much about today. Today, with inoculations and other health advances, we don't have daily concerns about our children catching many of the dreaded diseases that were a part of life back then.
A hundred years ago, an ad states:
"Whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and consumption [tuberculosis] diseases that are often contracted when the child has a cold".
