tagious disease there is nothing TO do but try ana
isolate the house No matter how serious the case
may be- and no matter how great the danger Is OF
srrcadng the disease the child must either De lelt
where he is to poison the house and its furniture or
be taken TO the city Hospital. where there are ac-
