Scarlet Fever.

A milS case of scarlet fever is the
most dangerous type of the disease
that local boards and health officers
have to contend with. 1t is generally
through carelessness in the manage
meRt of these that whole communi-
ties become infected. An apparently
simple case of so-called scarlet rash
or scarletina unrestricted by Quaran-
tine, may be the mean of injecting
others with the most malignant form
of scarlet fever, hence the necessity
for strict precautions in every case
Notwithstanding it's seeming mild
ness.
The various conditions frequently
following scarlet fever are of such a
serious and permanent character as
to demand the very strietest proven
tative measures. Even the mildest
forms of the disease may, and often
do result in some permanent aflic-
ton, perhaps unsupported at the time
of apparent recovery. The physician
or parent who fails or neglectS to re-
port all such cases, no matter how
slight the attack, and the local Off
Gals who are careless in enforcing
the prescribed regulations pertaining
to quarantine and disinfection, are
deserving of the condemnation of the
community, and should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.-Iowa
