CLEAR OF DISEASE
Topeka Has Few Contagious
Illnesses To Fight Now.
No Anticipation of an Epidemic
This Summer.

That contagious diseases have been
comparatively few in Topeka during
the month of June is indicated by the
monthly report compiled by DR.. Earl
c. Brown, city health officer
Chickenpox was the most prevalent
disease, said Doctor Brown, but with
the closing of the city schools, reports
fell off until on June %, the city was
free of the disease for the first time
in period of three weeks.
There is no anticipation of any seri-
Gus epidemic of infectious or con-
tagious diseases during the summer
months, the report indicates, with the
exception of typhoid fever. a disease
common in the summer and early fall
months.
One case of epidemic cerebro spinal
meningitis was carried forward from
May and later one case of infantile
paralysis occurred. Every possible
precaution was taken and it is not
expected that other cases will develop
from them.
Several Cases of Smallpox

Two cases carried over from May

lowing vaccination, but the patient had
not been vaccinated until several days
after exposure. No epidemic exists
The cases are of a sporadic nature and
come from serveral parts of town
