MORE SICKNESS IN MARCH
of the Communicable Diseases
over February.

Madison A very pronounced in
crease in cases of communicable dis
ease during March is Indicative of
the unusual prevalence of sickness
throughout the state March reports
show large increases in most of the
communicable diseases over February.
The reports credit Milwaukee coun-
ty with ga cases of scarlet fever in
March, an increase of 220 over Febru-
airy. Measles, whooping cough and
tuberculosis show the same high incl
dence.
AS a fatal disease smallpox stands
out in this state in distinct contrast TO
such ailments as diphteria, typhoid,
whooping cough, scarlet fever and tu-
bercuIosis. Vaccination and prompt
quarantine are held accountable for
the stamping out of smallpox as an
epidemic disease in Wisconsin.
