How SCARLET FEVER Poison IS DIS
TRIBUTED.-The Medical Era relates
the case of a girl aged about 8 years,
living in Fortress Monroe, Va, who
was some months ago attacked by
scarlet fever, the disease running a
typical course. For a long time no
possible source of contagion could be
discovered. The child had not been
absent from home, had been with no
one lately exposed, and 40 other case
was known to exist in the vicinity.
Subsequently DR.. Brookelearned that
one Of the house servants had nursed
acase of scarlet fever in a distant city
just about a year before. After the
case terminated she packed some of
her things, including some clothing
then worn, in q trunk and left the
place. Ayear later she had the trunk
sent to her, opened it and took out
the contents, the little girl being pres
ent and handling the things. Very
soon after the latter was attacked, as
stated.
