Dipth0ria Closes
Board Of Health

Atlanta, Oct. 14-An outbreak
of d'phtheria among the employees
of the state board of health re-
suited in the announcement by DR..
ID. f. Harris, secretary of the
board, yesterday that it would be
necessary to close the laboratory
for few days in order that it
might be thoroughly disinfected,
and that those having the disease
might be given an opportunity to
recover.
Or. Hlrris reported the matter
to the city health authorities Tues
day afternoon and they at once
dispatched A. B. Gartrell. a in
spector to the capitol to make an
investigation and to disinfect the
premises. Mr.. Gartrel said that.
while diphtheria germs had been
found in the throats of a number
of the state department EMPLOYEES
none of them was SC serious as to
be called well-deveIoped case of
the disease.
1t would be necessary however.
rs measure of protection to the
public to quarantine all of those
who had been found with the
germs IN their homes for a few
days and to disinfect the premises.
TEN AFFECTED
There were ten of the working
force of the department who were
found to be afflicted with the
disease; il fact the entire force
with the possible exception of DR..
Harris and DR.. l.. P. Pattillo. A
culture made from their throats
did not show any disease germs,
but a later investigation may de-
velop that they have contracted it,
too.
A diphtheria culture from a
child's throat, sent careIessly
through the mails by a country
doctor without any precautions as
to wrapping is blamed by DR..
Harris for the whole trouble. He
talked Indignantly Tuesday of the
careless way in which doctors, in
spite of the express warning of
the board of health sent out in a
circular letter, persist IN mailing
deadly disease germs to his Office
for examination without any re-
gard to the safety of the public or
of the Office force of the board of
health.
1T is a violation of the postal
regulations of the United States"
said DR.. Harris, "and think it is
a crime. 1t certainly ought to be.
| can scarcely conceive of more in
excusabIc criminal negligence. For
an intelligent member of the medi-
cal profession to send deadly germs
through the mails that way would
be almost unthinkable, if they did
not do it nearly every day.
