10 the Edito rof The Robesonian.
AS requested by Mondays Robe
ssohian, wish to say the following
III regard to measles and tuberculo-
sis:
l.: l.: Measles is contagious from one
&c i've days before diagnosis is US
t1:ally made. During this time the
olsease can be spread without the
patients knowledge.
z. 10 control measles in COM
munity where it is prevalent would
require the closing of public gather
lngs such as schools and churches
until the disease subsidies, or keep
ing at home all those who have not
had the disease.
). Measles is still regarded bv too
many as necessary disease of child
hood and the public is not yet willing
to co-operate fully in its prevention.
4. The disease has been fought
1or the past five years as energeti-
cal'Y as the average preventable dis
ease. 1t has caused fewer deaths this
winter than grippe caused for the
corresponding months last year. We
j hope for better co-operation in the
prevention of these diseases.
In our fight against tuberculosis
the cooperation Of the people has
been very gratifying. Since this dis
: ease is so often fatal we can de-
ternine it's prevalence by the NOR
! tality rate. Any inquirer should
compare Robeson's death rate from
this disease with any one or all OF
the adjoining counties. All the reg
istrars' reports for 1916 have not vet
! reached the register of deeds office
but from the seventeen township!
heard from indications are that there
will be between fifteen and twent,
fewer deaths in the county from thi
disease than there were in 1915. Th
town Of Lumberton has made tn,
greatest reduction. The records shov
that there were six deaths in tn
town in 1915 and none at all in 1916
