TAKES NO CHANCES.
Every Effort to. Guard Against
Cholera Entering.

State Health Officer Brumby is TAX
ing no chances with the cholera, now
prevalent in some parts of Europe.
While he has no fears as to the disease
reaching Texas, still he is using due
caution in the premises.
DR.. Brumby is sending out a letter
to all city and county health officers
putting them on notice to watch out
for any indication of the disease with
reference to the arrival of immigrants
in Texas.
In his letter the state health officer
SAYS it is his desi that surveillance
be kept over immigrants from cholera
infected counties arriving in the state,
even though they we're subject to quar-
antine regulations at foreign ports,
quarantine inspection at the port OF
Galveston and subsequent immigra-
ton examination. He says he deems
it advisable to enlist the assistance of
local health officers in making security
doubly sure against any possible in
lection of cholera.
DIR. Brumby has gotten up return
postal card for this purpose. In case
an immigrant comes into the state
whose destination is your town or
vicinity such postal card will be filed
out, giving the name and address of
such immigrant, and forwarded to you
with request for you to hunt him up.
If the party is found to be in good
health you can so state on the return
postal, but were such party to have 1T
that time or any other time any sud-
den or fatal CASTRO enteritis or disr-
rhea. or even those with whom this
party may have come in contact, you
had best notify me by long distance
telephone.
DR.. Brumby states this system of
surveillance may aid in the detection
of a chance cholera bacillus carrier"
and will call attention only to the
necessity of investigating suspicious
illness among arrived immigrants or
those associating with them. Like,
with typhoid fever, we occasionally
find carrier, even though weeks and
months have elapsed since the party
had the disease. Timely opportunity
will thus be given for preoautien, iso.
lation and distinction while investi-
CATION of the case is being made, also
for prompt preventive measures If the
case should prove to be Of the sus-
pected character. -
He says the "destinasion card will
be filed out by the quarantine officer
at Galveston land forwarded to you;
the return portion to be torn off and
mailed by you to me. .
He concludes by saying that despite
guarantee restraints at foreign and
nestle ports this surveillance is con-
sidered necessary as an additional
precautionary measure.
