Howell B. Parker writes from Fayette-
vile concerning exaggerated reports of
scarlet fever there: Having heard untrue
reports from different sources, l desire to
state the facts. Miss jamie Malone had "a
severe cold and cough for over one week
before she took the fever. She had been
delicate from childhood, with very weak
lungs and poor circulatory system. We
don't know positively where she caught the
fever. DR.. Russell was her physician. He
always spoke to me with great doubt as to
her recovery. He gave her every attention
in his power. Miss jamie died Thursday
night. Before her death her little sister,
Becky, was taken severely with the scarlet
fever. She was very bright child having
an extremely nervous temperament and
deficient vitality. Her throat became in
volved, glands on both sides bursting, she
became partially paralyZed, and then died.
Mr.. Thomas has a little boy that had very
slight attack, recovered. He took him to a
fishing party on a cold, windy day and the
boy relapsed. He is now well. Little
Annie Malone was taken about one week
ago and is now almost tirely well. The
doctor has dismissed both of the cases
Now If there is or has been any other cases
of scarlet fever in or near Fayetteville |
don't know Of them. To prevent the spread
of the fever school was dismissed for one
week. Those who live farthest from town
and on or near other small places seem to be
the worst scared and to draw largely mostly
on their Imagination for facts.n
