EPIDEMIC SCARLET FEVER
AND SMALL POx CHECKED

At the present time there are four
families quarantined for contagious
diseases, three for scarlet fever, one
for smallpox. We have not been able
to obtain the source of the scarlet
fever cases but undoubtedly the
spread of the diesase was due to the
mild form and was not brought to the
attention of the family doctor or the
board Of health. The last case of
scarlet fever was reported ten days
ago and we feel that the disease is
extinct in our midst.
The source of the contagion from
smallpox was traced to Big Rapids,
brought here by Mrs. Greenop's son,
who was attending the Ferris Insti-
tute. The case was reported Febru-
airy 18th to the board of health; the
residence and family have been quar-
antined ever since. There was diff
ference of opinion between the fam
lily physician and board of health as
to whether it was really smallpox or
chickenpox. A member of the State
Board of Health was sent here to in
vestigate and offer suggestions as to
the disease and the best way to care
for it. He was rather of the opinion
that it was chickenpox, which fully
agreed with the family physician, but
suggested that the family be kept un-
der quarantine. Last Saturday three
other cases of smallpox in the Green
op residence developed and were re-
ported to the city board of health, but
remember they have been under strict
quarantine since March 3, so there is
no possible danger of the infection
spreading.
We wish to thank the doctors, the
board of education and faculty, mem
bers of the health committee, and
loyal citizens of our city, for the
great interest they have shown in our
recent epidemic. Belding which is
noted for its good water supply and
hygenic conditions asks the coopera-
tion of its citizens in the maintenance
of health standards. The board of
health must depend on the honor of
those sick and quarantincd with con-
tagious diseases to prevent the
spread of an epidemic. Signed,
Board of Health.
