Madison Physician in Court

At Madison today DR.. M j. Rodermund
was in municipal court on the charge of
failure to report case of contagious
disease, the action resulting from his
attendance on seven-year-old girl,
granddaughter of Prof. F. w. Kehl,
the dancing master. Dr.. P. Donovan,
city health officer, said the girl was
suffering from the worst case of iiph-
liberia he had ever seen, and State
Health Officer C. A. Harper confirmed
the diagnosis. Some twelve years ago
Rodermund, then a physician at APP
pleton, defied the state and local au-
thorities by exposing himself to small
pox contagion, smearing his hands and
face with smallpox virus, in an eRdeav-
or to prove that smallpox is not con-
tagious. Later he published book to
prove the correctness of his theories.
