HEALTH NOTES


1t is gratifying to note the public
spirited manner in which many of the
citizens are meeting the requirements
of the ordinance pertaining to outside
manure heaps.
To those who are in doubt as to the
form of vault TO construct, they may
call and inspect the vault on the prop
erty of the following: Chas. Plow-
man on Lincoln street; p. NJ Smith
on Wright avenue; Geo. Brown in the
Arcadia livery barn, the city stables,
back of the city hall, or Marshall Dali
las, back of Hough's hardware store,
these enclosures represent various
forms of construction and cost, all Of
which however, fill the requirements
of the ordinance.
There is one case of scarlet fever
in town. AS yet the source of this in
lection has not been ascertained. Alb
solute quarantine was at once estab-
lished and the department hopes to
prevent any further spread The main
danger in handling the spread of con-
tagious diseases in Alma, lies in the
fact that some few people do not call
doctor, therefore no quarantine is
established. One such case could cas-
lily cause general epidemic, particu-
larry during the school year. In view
of this fact the department urges all
citizens suspScting an illness to ex-
list in home where doctor is not in
attendance to report the same at once
to the health department
There is now and has been for many
months a mild epidemic in our town
CT impetigo contagiousa. This disease
does not seem to be generally under
stood, therefore brief description of
its course may prove helpful. The
condition begins with a small bleh
Oh blister, which in a short time
breaks, leaving a small exuding ulcer,
this secretion drys on the surface,
causing a scab and this scab as time
goes on becomes thicker and larger
in extent until what is commonly
! spoken of as a sore is formed. The
content of the original blister as well
as the later secretion from the sore
constitutes the contagious element of
the disease; that is wherever this Sc
erection comes in contact with the
healthy skin, another lesion is form
ed The state law now requires that
all cases of impetigo contagiousa be
reported to the health department, SO
again all citizens are requested il
they see any sores of the nature de-
scribed to report them to the health
department. DR.. T. J. Carney
