FRIGHTENED PARENTS
PASADENA, Jan. 3O.-When James Me-
Dermid, little boy aged / years, died
this morning, and the under aker's wagon
came up to the house and took the body
away in such great hurry, the neighbors
began to inquire and soon found that he
had died of diphtheria, and that his
brother, aged Is, is now down with the
dread disease; then realizing that their
own children had been repeatedly exposed
to the contaglol, through their ignorance
OF the fact that it existed in the neighbor
hood, there was soon small-si1ed panic in
that neighborhood. Dr. Rowland was
called up by telephone this evening and in
reply to the questions of The HERALD cor
respondent said that DR.. Mohr had been in
attendance upon the case. That he CDR.
r had rot heard of it till this morning,
first from the undertaken, then found a
card from DR.. Mohr in the postoffice, noti-
flying him, as health officer, of the facr.
That DR.. Mohr stated that he was not
called until Monday, and that there had
been some delay in the receiving of his
card by DR.. r.. Of course there is "a city
ordinance that requires notice TO be given
to the health Office by the attending physi-
clan, in case of any contagious disease,
within twenty-four hours. and it should
require that a notice be posted upon the
house, but it seems the ordinance does not
go that far, though DR.. Rowland says he
has done this whenever he found the cases.
1t is reported that there was a ase ir the
same neighborhood, attended by Ter
physician, of scarlet fever which was not
reported. Also that there was another
physician in this diptheria case, who pro.
