Rumnrs of the existence Of ScarIei
Fever in Leonardtown having become
widespread, and this, with the general feel
ing of fear excited among the people, seems
to call for some statement from the Health
Officer.
The Health Officer was some days ago
c1acially notified of the existence Of the
disease In the town. lie Immediately, In
company with the attending physician,
visited the house where four children wert
found suffering from q mild form Of this
disease. He found all the cases completely
isolated and preparations made b pre-
vent the spread Of the injection. Informa-
ton was also received as 10 the probable
source Of the cnntagion, which will be
closely traced and stamped out If discoV
cred. From these facts the Health Officer
feels safe in announcing that the malady
Is under complete control and that there Is
little danger of its extending beyond its
present bounds. F. +. GREESwELL,
Health Officer.
