According to the State Board of
Health there are 200 cases of spinal
meningitis reported in the infected
district in the northern portion of
Wadena county and in adjoining sec
tons of Cass and Becker counties.
| Latest reports show that the dis
ease has appeared at Brainerd, in
Grow Wing county.
Many of the 200 cases mentioned
are no longer active. However, there
are more known cases today than
ever before. It is difficult to say
just how many have died of the dis
ease but the record now must reach
approximately 9 or 10. Many deaths
may have occurred without having a
report made and in entire ignorance
of the nature of the disease. Local
physicians who have visited the in
fected section say that when called
to attend a patient found to be suf-
fering with meningitis, little in
quiry has developed from six to a
dozen cases in that vicinity.
The situation has developed to a
point where the State Board of
Health has deemed it advisable to
send their personal representative to
the scene of trouble and DR.. Holiday
who was the first sent up, is now in
charge for the time being .-Wadena
