HOSPITAL CAN'T TREAT
ANTHRAX SUFFERER

The efforts OF the Board OF Health
to have the case OF anthrax removed
to the contagious unit OF the Physi-
clans and Surgeons Hospital have
failed. Secretary Howard r. Frantz
said this morning, as the p. and S.
Hospital has refused to accept
James Mesh. 612 West Front street,
the patient.
Mr.. Mesh is being strictly quaran-
tined, according TO Mr.. Frantz. and
there is little danger OF the disease
spreading.
The refusal OF the hospital to ac-
cept the patient, It is stated, is be-
cause the management would be
compelled to employ a special nurse
for the case and they did not feel
warranted in going to the extra ex-
pense.
owing to the dangerous character
of anthrax the Board Of Health was
especially anxious that Mr.. Mesh
should have hospital treatment. not
only for his benefit. but for the
safety OF the public. but as this is
found impossible they are endeavor-
ing to isolate the patient so far as
possible.
