In Connection with the Case
. of a Child Of the Rev.
DR.. King.
(By DIR. H. e. Sloan.

~ SAs He LIE E9lOBlue
Public mention in connection With
"a patient who has been under his
care, is repugnant to any reputable
physicians and much more SO the
necessity for public statement con-
corning that patient. II regret ex-
teedingly that such statement from
me concerning the illness of the
child of the Rev. o. Dale King, seems
demanded. Demanded. not because
Of any reflection cast upon my judgs
ment by the statements of Mr.. King
and Doctors Johnson and Mcclure,
but because in this case, certain
questions arise, which are of great
Importance to the public.
Such questions have arisen before
in this community and viii arise
again, and since for the enforce
meut of sanitary laws, as well -
all other laws, a strong public SEN
timent, favorable to such laws, is es-
sential, 1t is time for the public to
have a thorough Understanding OF
these matters.
Contrary to commonly, accepted
belief that infectious diseases. classed
as dangerous, always always pro-
dice alarming symptoms and make
the patient very i'll, the severity Of
these diseases varies within wide
limit,
Smallpox may prove rapidly fatal
in one case and in another be so
mild as to escape recognition. In
diphtherla there may be no mem
brane and the child may not be i'll
enough to remain in the house.
Many people may contract tuber.
.culosis and live a good age, without
the presence OF the disease being
suspected.

DR.. SLOAN DEFENDS
HIS RECENT AC TON

Z
The variability of infectious dis.
eases is especially characteristic of
scarlet fever, and for years the mild
and severe forms were considered
entirely distinct disease, the mild
form being called srarlatina and the
severe form scarlet fever. 1t is no
exaggeratt0n to- cay that cases OF
scarlet fever ecca sesgii' .7syea4 in
this community which are SO mild
that physician is not called, and IL
he were called a little late, would
be unable to make diagnosis.
Such forms of disease are compar-
atively free from danger to- the pa
tient, butif not recognized and iso-
lated, may be the starting point OF
many cases, some of them possibly,
of the most severe type.
II is chiefly because of these mild
types that the disease persists de-
spite the effort to stamp 1T out.
Another erroneous impression
concerning contagious diseases is
that a failure of the disease to de-
velop in those exposed. casts a
doubt upon the disease, If it is not
a positive proof that the disease did
not exist. The probability Of the
disease developing in any exposed
individual depends chiefly on two
facts: the virulence OF the injecting
organism and the resistance Of tho
individual to that particular organ
ism.
So it happens il the infected or
ganism is of low virulence and the
resistance of the exposed indtvidu-
ais hig, few if any OF them will de-
velop the disease.
In brief, the characteristic symp-
toms in mild attack OF scarlet
fever are these: the patient be-
comes i'll rather suddenly with vom-
ittng, fever, sore throat. enlarge

How Wisconsin has proapsred
Under Its Progressive Admiuistra-
ton, was the subject OF Senator Ia
Follette's address atSFlint today.
The speaker said that progressive
Legislation in Wisconsin has not been
destructive, as its enemies pre-
ldicted, Instead said he, .'of
driving capital out Of the state, it
has attracted capital more than other
states. It has made Investments
safe for all, instead Of speculative
for few. ft has been conservative
and constructive as well as progress
'sive. Not one OF these progressive
laws has been overturned by the SUI
Ipreme court of the state, and not
one has been carried into the federal
courts,
Continuing, Senator La Toilette
said: "Tle general business condi-
tions in wisconsin conclusively show
that instead OF being retarded by
progressive legislation, wisconsin
has advanced financially and com-
:mercially more Srapidly than the
country taken as a whole.
Judged by commercial failures,
Wisconsin has prospered better than
the entire country. r =.
During ten years Of progressive
Legislation, the expenses OF the state
have increased, but the burden Of
taxes upon the people has de-
creased.
"The property of the state Is pay
ing 81 per cent less taxes in propor-
ton to its value than IT did ten
years ago"
Before telling how he would solve
