some lifectloui outbre6l.e.

Through this rather cool summer and
early fall the dlarrheal diseases have not,
Ia the State generally, been 20 prevalent
- usual, but Representatives OF the
State Department Of Health have In
vestigsted several outbreaks OF these
troubles which have been very interest
ing to the Department, and Of tragic In
terest to the homes and communities
which have heen affected. For instance,
Q few days ago Il WAS found that, In .
rather restricted epidemic Of dysentery
and diarrheal disease IN the village OF
Madison. eight children under five years
Of age had died, and, at the time of the
investigation, An elderly woman was
found to be In dying condition.
Another death has since occurred. The
large number Of fatalities for . village
no larger than this had led 10 sensation
81 reports about the prevalence OF some
mysterious malady. The Investigations
here indicated that tho extension OF the
disease had at least largely been duo to
the fact that It 10 communicable. In
one family four children had the disease,
and the Investigator of the Department
found that the trouble was brought to
this house by young man who came
there with the disease.
Still more recently an affliction Of the
same kind In home In the town Of
ResdHeld has been investigated. Be.
tween August "a and September 8, six
children had been attacked. Two had
died and another In the Central Maine
General Hospital IN Lewiston had been
ins very critical condition. The
father and mother and . woman who
had como to help In the emergency bad
mild attacks, but . professional nurse
from Winthrop who came to this home
September 2, sickened on the 9th and re-
turned to her home and died on the
10th. The source of the infection 10
the first case could not be determined,
the study of the outbreak makes It clear
that the infection from the primary
cases was transmitted to the other mem
bers OF the household.
Before these outbreaks were In
vestigated new circular had been pre-
pared, and will be printed - soon %
possible by the State Department Of
Health. The circular brings ont clearly
the fact that dyseptery Ia an infectious
disease, and that this il the reason that
Il IL included In the Departments list OF
diseases that must be reported, that
many of the diarrheal diseases of chill
dren are caused by the same specific
bacillus; that these diseases are spread
just as typhoid fever or cholera are
spread-by particles of infectious mat
ter In the discharges from the sick find.
ing their way, by mouth, into the diees-
tive tracts of other persons. This in'
lection may be transmitted by fingers or
flies or by infected foods, milk or
water supplies. It is more likely to
spread 10 uncleanly homes but 10 cleanly
households where there is good degree
of intelligence on general subjects, the
disease may be spread from the want of
specific information as to just what
should be done. The purpose OF the
Department Circular, 229, Is to give this
information.

Injury by Accidental Shooting.

Raymond Shaw, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest r. Shaw, of South Paris, was in
jured BY the accidental discharge of .
gun while hunting Wednesday after
noon. he was out with his cousins,
Ronald and Hsrland Shaw of Paris Hill,
a mile or two east of the Hill. The
other two boys were loading . gun, one
of them holding the gun and the other
putting shell into 1t, when 1t was dis
charged. The muzzie was pointing
down, and Raymond was standing In
front of IL In such position that he got
the charge in the fieshy part OF the cali
of his leg, tearing out big hole.
he was taken as soon as possible to
the Central Maine General Hospital at
Lewiston, and it Is reported that there
is little danger of serious permanent
injury. While the shot cut clear to the
bone, the bone itself was not injured,
and the wound, while q deep and pain.
full one, is q flesh wound, which will
probably not leave any serious stiffness.
