 MEASLES AND PNEUMONIA Since the death of John Jordan at the Peck home on the Christy road. a story has gained circulation that Is ut terly without foundation and should be denied for the interest of all concerned as well as the general public. The case was attended by Dr. w. M. Bell who found the boy very i'll when he was summoned. The story is in circu- lation that he told the family he did not know what was the matter but that he feared it was some very con tagiOus disease. On the contrary Dr. Bell said yesterday that the case was Iia e1a very well defined. He predicted als1 just when and how the patient would break out and about how long the eruptions would last. The patient also had a very severe cold when he was stricken and the doctor forecasted case of pneumonia two or three days before it was developed. He acquaint- ed the family with these facts at the time as anyone interested can verify by making inquiry.
