While there is yet much sickness in
the community, the probabilities are
that the epidemic has been practically
checked. Some of the patients are
very sick and some new cases are re-
ported every day, but with the con-
tinued care and cooperation on the
part of the citizens in observing the
quarantine, and regulations laid down
by the board of health, it is hoped
the worst is now over. Immediate
attention to the first symptoms is the
vital point in coping with this disease.
A delay of even one day with eX-
posure might result in a fatal case of
pneumonia. Doctors have worked
practically night and day, and the
loyal patriotic women have left their
homes to assist in the care of the
sick Medicated cotton Jackets" for
the sick have been made by the ladies
at the Surgical Dressing rooms, and
everything possible has been done by
the loyal men and women of the COM
munity to check the spread of the di-
sease. The quarantine will undoubt-
edly be in force for some time yet,
and until the epidemic is practically
stamped out.
