PROMPT
MEASURES
Save Many Lives.

Striking evidence Of the value Of
a full-time county health department
Is furnished by the experiences two
neighboring Blue Grass counties
have had with diphtheria this winter.
In Scott County, where there is
such a full-time County Health De-
partment, a case Of the disease was
discovered in a school. The child
who was suffering was removed i'm
mediately TO his home, his family was
quarantined, and the room where the
disease had developed was disinfect-
ed. Swabs, made Of all the chill
dren's throats in the same room,
were sent to the Laboratory Of the
State Board Of Health for examina-
ton, and when 1t was found that
none Of the children had the dis
ease they all were given a Schick
test to see which would develop diph-
iberia IL exposed to IL. Those who
were not found to be immune i'm
mediately were given an incubation
to prevent their acquiring il. As a
result Of these energetic measures
only one case Of the disease develop
ed in Scott County and there were
no deaths.
In a neighboring county child al
so developed diphtheria in a school
in the eounty-seat. There the SINH
larity ends. This county has no full
time health department. only a ply
stefan receiving 5000 a year. and the
absence Of someone whose sole busi-
ness IL was to stamp out diphtheria
immediately already has led to the
closing Of the school in the eounty's
county-seat for sixty days. to the de-
veloping OF i2s cases Of the disease
In the county. and TO eleven deaths.
Apart from the saving Of human
life and suffering in Scott County,
and its woeful waste in the neighbor-
INK county, the effective preventive
measures in Scott did not cost the
taxpayers Of that county a cent out
side Of its regular expenditure for
health work. The neighboring eoun-
~. by actual figures, already has
'pent $4,000 in combating diphther-
a. and there is no way Of ealeulat-
ng how much has been spent BY
private families for physicians.
