WHY We ARE HEALTHY
Due to Establishment of Depart
ment of Health.

That Oskaloosa is today free from
an epidemic of diphtheria, similar to
that now terorizing parents in Des
Moines, Waterloo and other cities, is
due and traceable, in the minds of
physicians of the city and those in
possession of the facts of the cases,
to the work of the Oskaloosa city
council in the establishment of de-
partment of public health. In all
probability, DR.. M. F. Boyd, health
physician, nipped in the bud what to
all appearances was we'll defined
lstart of a spread of diphtheria in Os-
kaloosa. In arresting the spread OF
the dreaded throat trouble, the Oska-'
loosa health department has in this
one instance paid for itself many
times over in the saving of lives OF
children and in expenses to individ-
uals and to the community at large.
Some days ago DR.. Boyd was called
upon to make examination in a case
of sore throat, supposed to be tonsil-
Tits. The case had developed symp-
toms of diphtheria. The attending
physician, to be on the safe side, ad-
ministered the anti-toxin treatment
for diphtheria and the family was
quarantined. DR.. Boyd made a culture
from the throat of the child and the
presence of diphtheria was demon
Istrated. An examination into the his
tory of the case was made In the
meantime and the discovery followed
a companion in the neighborhood.
that the child had been playing with.
This child had been visiting in North
Dakota A culture from this child
was also diphtheretic, but the case
yielded readily to treatment.
In examination of the pupils in one
of the ward schools child was found
who although to all appearances
sound and healthful, was carrying and
spreading diphtheria. The child was
excluded from the schools until eX'
animation showed it to be free OF the
germs. But here was the foundation
Iof an epidemic that might easily
have been far-reaching in scope and
effect.
Another instance where the work OF
the health department has had bene-
fetal results comes from Fourth ward
where case of scarlet fever was dis
covered and isolated. The room
where the pupil had been in school
was promptly vacated and fumigated,
the child placed in quarantine and all
other children having sore threats eX-
cused until their condition proved
freedom from the trouble. Left to IT.
self the single case of fever would UNI
doubtedly have developed numerous
other cases and the extent of the
trouble before discovery and treat
ment under the former system, can
only be surmised.
