Thirty Cases of cerebro-spinal
Trouble Reported BY Doctors.

Louisville. March 5.-Thirty cases
of cerebro-spinal meningitis exist in
Louisville, according to members Of
the county and city boards of health,
who met to consider the situation.
There are thirty cases in the city and
five deaths have occurred within the
last three weeks. An autopsy on the
brains of two children, whose sudden
deaths February were attributed at
the time to poison, revealed that they
we're victims of meningitis. A victim
OF the epidemic in Dallas, Tex, was
brought here for burial shortly before
the first case was reported, but ply
sicians are divided in their opinion as
to whether the cases here had their
inception in that circumstance.
