STRANGE SKIN DISEASE.
Illinois State Board of Health Orders
an Investigation

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 31.-A socalled
mysterious skin disease has been re-
ported to the state board of health as
existing at Downs. Mclean county, by
J. r. Carlyle, supervisor and chairman
of the town board of health of that
town. Mr. Carlyle states that the
township board of health has acted,
but the people are not satisfied; that
the doctors disagree as to the nature
of the, disease and the people are
scared. He asks Secretary Egan, of
the state board of health, to send pro-
per officers to investigate and make
rules as to quarantine. DR.. Egan wired
to Downs that he would send an in
spector at once, and he promptly had
DR.. c. S. Nelson. state health inspector,
proceed to Downs and examine what
ever cases he could and to take what
ever measures he might find necessary.
The secretary ordered him, if the dis
ease were of an infectious or contag-
ious character, to call the attention of
the township board Of health to the
section of the revised statutes of Illi-
noiS which makes provision for means
to check the spread of the disease.
The mysterious skin disease has
broken out in number of places in IL
linois. Accounts of it have appeared in
the newspapers, and it is attracting
considerable attention in the medical
profession, but this is the first time the
appearance of the disease has been Off
cially communicated to the state board
of health.

ing soldiers, 237,415 widows and de-
pendent relatives. and 653 nurses.
