People all over the world know Wimbledon as the center of lawn tennis. But most people do not know that it was famous for another game before tennis was invented. Wimbledon is now a part of Greater London. In 1874 it was the home of the All-England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championship did not attract many spectators. So the Club had very little money, and the members were looking for a way of getting some. “This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action, and people like watching it”, they thought. “Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?”
In 1875 they changed the name of the club to the “All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club”, and that is the name that you will still find in the telephone book. Two years later, in 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championship. There were 22 players and 200 spectators, each paid one shilling. The Club was saved.

The forerunner of modern lawn tennis was introduced into England from France in the 15th century and a “tennis court”, built by Henry VIII, is still in use at Hampton Court. The modern game, first played in England in 1873, quickly became very popular; in 1877 the words “lawn tennis” were added to the title of the All England Croquet Club at Wimbledon, near London, and in the same year the first championships were played. The Lawn Tennis Association, the controlling body of the game in Britain, was founded in 1888. The governing body of the game in the world (the International Lawn Tennis Federation, with headquarters in London and Paris) was founded in 1913.

Cough is one of the commonest symptoms in childhood as well as at any age. It is important to understand that coughing is quite a normal act, as it is one of the body’s ways of protecting the bronchial tubes and lungs. Any irritation of the bronchial tree or the trachea excites a reflex one cough. There are two main causes of this irritation. Firstly, it may be due to mucus which comes down the back of the nose. The cough reflex is to prevent the entering of mucus into the bronchial tubes. Secondly, infection may cause inflammation of the trachea and this produces the cough reflex.
Many children who have a persistent cough have no disease in their chest. When the doctor examines such a child with his stethoscope there is no abnormality to be heard. However, in some children coughing is due to impairment in the chest itself. The cough is an expression of the normal defences of the chest, but in this case the bronchial tubes are inflamed.
