I -Episcopal Church Noies-Briefs. nr. J. x. Dull. health officer. Issued q warning yesterday ie guard careful ly against the spread Of .diphtheria During the month Of September. onls one case of the disease was reported in Piainviile. and after q thorough in- yestigaiion, it was found that the ease was not in any way connected with the Piainyiiie schools This was tha enly case of communicable disease ir rlainville during the entire month, and the situation here as regards pub lie health is very satisfactory. The increase in diphtheria in the state Is blamed on the carolessness with which people treat sore throats. According to Dr. Bull. diphtheria can be checked if precautions are taken | In time to allow sore throat to Sc treated before the disease develops. He makes an appeal to the parents of the town to keep any Of their children who have the least symptom of sore throat away from school. When the symptoms first appear. the best course to follow is to summon physician so that the sickness can be checked. With the disease caught in its first stages, there is hardly any likelihood that 1t will spread. Dr. Bull does not mean fin these warnings to give the impression that Plainville is threaten ed with an epidemic. but it is his be- | iinf fhat of io worth a pound of cure"
