Card From Dr.. Bridgford.

To the Editor OF the Ledger,
MEXICO, Feb. 25.-Rumor for sew
eral days has insisted that my little
boy is suffering from small pox. |
wish to say that the case at my house,
diagnosed by myself and a physician
Of experience with small pox, is a very
mild case Of measles. l will further
say that the City Health Department
is willing to accept our diagnosis. Mr..
Editor, please be assured that 1 will
promptly report all cases of small pox
that come under my observation and
that l will not diagnose a case as
chicken pox and allow a patient visit
ing "the chicken pox family" to go
into a neighboring county and die of
malignant small pox. Yours truly,
Il, MCD, BRIDGFORD.

Card From DR.. Winans.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Feb. 26.-The report that
a case Of small pox was diagnosed by
me as chicken pox is believed only by
those who wish it true. 1t would be
better to learn whether a report is
true before repeating 1t. Does a
physician know that his patient has
measles or small pox before the rash
appears? In my patient, the rash APP
peared the day after | saw him and l
did not hear from him for six days
after that and then was told that he
was broken out with chicken pox.
Whose diagnosis was that? Certainly
not mine, as | did not think of nor
mention the word chicken pox, and
made but one visit. One who keeps
sober and pays close attention to the
minutest symptoms Of a patient is a
better diagnostlcian than one who
does not. THEo. II. WINANs.

RAILROAD SOLD.
May be a Short Route for the c. & A.
Into st. Louis.

The Missouri Midland Railroad from
Columbia to the NJ, X. s. T., south,
has been sold to the NJ, X. & Il. Rail-
road Company. 1t is thought by some
that this road will be extended to and
tap the Alton Road. 1t is claimed
that the Alton wants a shorter route
into st. Louis, and that the NJ, X. s.
T., being under the same management
of the Alton, would take its st. Louis
trains over the NJ, X. 4 L. from
Clark, or Sturgeon, through Columbia
over the NJ, X. & I. into st. Louis.
This is only a conjecture, because
those who know anything about it re-
fuse to be interviewed.
