East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-09-21

That the recent hard rains were
beneficial to Pendleton from a health
standpoint is declared by all of the
local fysicians. THE rain had the
effect of cooling and cleaning the at
mosfere and there should now be a
decrease in the amount of sickness
within the city," declared DR.. r. F..
Ringo this morning.
In the opinion of DR.. Ringo the sit
uation is already much better than it
was during the summer, tho there is
still much work for the fysicians
There are now Is or 16 cases of tyfoid
at the hospital, and there are between
25 and 80 cases altogether in the city.
But as uzual the most of the fever
cases have either been brought here
from the surrounding towns and
country, and especially is this true OF
the cases at the hospital
"Pendleton has had but little more
than the regular amount of tyfoid
this summer" said DR.. Ringo in
speaking upon that subject this morn
ing.
That the fysicians will welcome a
change for the better in the local
health situation is certain. During
the summer most all of the local
corps have been kept extremely busy
and but few have had vacations.
