Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1920-02-04
LA GRIPPE EPIDEMIC is HERE
Cases Are Relatively Mild and Stu
alton is Not Serious

= -
goodly share of our population is
sticking pretty close to home and bed.
| However, the epidemic is relatively
mild as compared with last year, no
really critical cases being reported
among the young and middle aged.
Only the aged whose impaired vitality
lowers their resistance seem to be SER
iously affected.
The present situation once more en-
phasizes the need ola hospital in vi
roqua, where one trained nurse could
give expert care to many cases, in
stead of wasting precious time and
energy caring for only one or two in
private home. The Censor realizes
the almost prohibitive cost of building
at this time, yet human life and suffer
ing cannot be measured in terms of
money. Viroqua needs a hospital.
