NO EPIDEMIC. ALTHOUGH
MEASLES ARE PREVALENT

According to the records Of the
Board of Health. about 200 cases OF
measles are distributed throughout
the city This is only an average
number of cases. but some residents
have started a rumor that this city is
In the grip OF an epidemic Of the
disease. This alarm was caused only
because of placarding the houses in
which measles are prevalent
Previously, the cases have not been
subject to the placarding system and
since it Is now in vogue and every
case reported to the health authori-
ties receives a white card placed on
the door Of the house it. Of course,
brings greater prominence to the
illness.
Last week 123 cases were reported
by local physicians and the week pre-
yiOusly 166 were called to the atten-
tion of the department. Yesterday
alone between 25 and 30 new cases
were reported. but according to an
official OF the Board OF Health Il was
learned that the average number OF
cases reported is offset daily with
cases reported as recovered and that
the average remains at something like
200 cases.
In the Children's Home. at River
view, there are fifteen cases OF
measles. No particular cause for the
number OF cases can be assigned.
DIR. z. Q. Bullock suggested at q
meeting OF the Board OF Health yes
terday that measles patients be con-
fined by the department within one
or two rooms and the remainder OF
the building be fumigated. The board
decided 10 leave the matter with the
authorities OF the home for action on
the advice OF their physician. feeling
that an action on the part of the
board was not asked for.
With the exception Of the measles
the city is almost free from contagious
diseases. According to the health de-
partment. only about three cases OF
typhoid fever. FIVE OF scarlet fever
five OF diphtheria and five cases oI
mumps are known TO be in existence.

One to convince the most skeptical

The test of time is the test that counts.
Doans Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Rockville residents should be convinced.

complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ignored.

ington, ID. G., says: II used to suffer good
deal from backaches and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. The kidney secretions
we're unnatural. My back bothered me at
night and in the morning was very miser-
able. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly gave
me relief from the trouble. -(Statement
given December 4, 1922
Over year latter. Mrs. Cooper said Il
still take Doan's Kidney Pills occasionally
and always get just as good results. |
am glad to again publicly endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills. for II may help someone else
who has kidney trouble"
