child Of Mrs. bora Graham, and there
is another sick child in the Graham
family whose death is almost hourly
expected.
OF all the cases reported not one
has yet fully recovered and some Of
the cases are now in pitiable condi-
ton. One of A. G. Woods children
died a short time ago and the other
lies in sort Of stupor, unable 10
turn any part Of its body.
Whole families of children have
been attacked while in some families
of several children but one has suffer
ed. There are great fears that the
epidemic may spread all over this sec
tion of the country, although the medi-
cal authorities say that while the de-
cease is infectious it is not contagious
and may appear and disappear in COM
munities widely separated.
So far there is no known positive
cure for the disease, which attacks
children from one to fifteen years Of
age. 1t is considered an incurable
disease, and always has been so. 1t
was formerly known as spotted fever,
and claimed many victims The local
