There is a new disease at Leanna
and vicinity-not new disease,
bnt one that is not very common.
Its scientific name is rothlyn. but
generally known as German meas
les. 1t can be distinguished from
the regular measles because it is not
so severe in its action and does not
last so long. But it is a separate
disease in itself and it might be
well to know that the regular meas
les is not preventative of rothlyn,
neither is rothlyn preventative of
the other, for one may follow the
other. The epidemic is spreading
very rapidly at Leanna, but so tar
its action has been mild, although
1t may assume malignant form.
