CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
(FrOm the Iowa Farmer.)

1t has. only been in recent years
that colds, la grippe and similar ply
steal dis turbances have been regarded
as contagious. Even yet there are
those who laugh at the idea of a cold
being contagious, but cold contains
the elements that enter into pneu-
monia, tuberculosis, la grippe and a
long train Of allied ailments, and thus
it becomes a menace 10 the entire
household or school.
The present winter has witnessed
the most widespread visitation Of grip
ever known. When this disease was
christened la grippe some years ago
after the manner of the French pro-
munication, it was regarded as some
thing Of joke. 1t was evolved from
the old-time influenza and as such
was not credited with fatal results but
was content to make victims feel "or-
nery' for a week or so and then ii was
passed along tothe next, but it is NO
longer regarded as joke. Indeed
it has taken its place as one of the
most dangerous ailments to, which
flesh is heir. ~ss,'' ~. =.
The number of deaths from the grip
the past winter in Iowa is appalling
Especially has it been severe on old
people and physicians have devoted
much time and thought in educating
people to take every precaution
against it's visitation. That. it is con-
tagious no longer admits Of a doubt.
An authority on the subject says:
ut would not be matter of great
surprise, if within the near future,
legislatures should find it necessary
as matter of protection to public
