NO FEAR OF EPIDEMIC
Hoboken's Board Of Health
Admits However an In
crease Of Contagious
Diseases.

The. member of the Hoboken Board
of Health are greatly disturbed over the
number of contagious diseases reported
in the city. During the month of June
there were fifty-three cases altogether,
of which twenty-eight were dtphtheria
and twenty scarlet fever. During July
there were fifty-uhree cases of diphtheria
alone and fifty-three cases of scarlet
fever. Now it is said by a well known
physician that there are at least 200
cases of contagious diseases, and that
the board is unable to cope with it or
check its progress. This same physician
says that it is only a question of a little
time when an epidemic will sweep over
the city.
AT present the cases reported are con-
fined to only the Fourth ward, and a
small part of the First.
In speaking to a reporter this morning
this same physician said
MEDICAL AID USELESS.
Medical aid is almost useless, where
the filthy condition of the premises is
something beyond describing. 1t is gen
orally believed that the throwing of

the board should know better. Chloride

teracts stencil; All disinfectants of that
kind are useless Chlorine gas and
steam are the only disinfectants that are
really any good.
the department that they are afraid to
let the public know their inability to
cope with it,"
On the strength of the above story a
Jersey City News reporter called upon
Clerk Havron this morning and asked
him for the report of the board in re-
gard to the number Of contagious dis
eases up to date. He refused to give the
report beyond that of the month of
June. because at the last meeting, of the
board he was r~eprimanded for allowing
a reporter to look at the books.
