arouse on the question OF the
charge OF ten cents a head for
gatherings at the Gilbert Communi-
ty House.
Since the Community House Is
supported by the public OF Ypsi-
lanti why should groups be charged
TO- its use for two or three hours?
Church groups work hard for
every cent they raise, and II 30
or 40 members meet, they will be
out three or four dollars. These
same groups at previous meetings
have given generous gifts to the

II is understood that the Teen

Three Types OF
Treatment For
Scarlet Fever

rs HERMAN s. BJSDESEN. N. q
RIGHT now many communities
are experiencing rather severe
outbreaks Of scarlet fever. But
fortunately, most cases are quite
mild
During the last twenty years,
the treatment OF scarlet fever has
changed TO a great extent because
OF the new preparations which are
available.
Three types Of treatment are
now possible first. treatment with
the sulfonamide drugs second, the
administration Of scarlet fever
antitoxin;. and, third, the use Of
couvalescent scarlet fever serum.
which is blood serum taken from a
patient VINO has recently recovered
from the disease.
Il would appear that the sutton
am.de drugs find their chief value
in treating the complications OF
scarlet fever, such as infections OF
the ear, or OF the lymph glands
These drugs are not Of much bene-
fl for the scarlet fever itself. Anti
toxin prepared by injecting scarlet
fever toxoid into horses and then
Withdrawing the blood serum does
combat the disease itself. However.
children or adults given this scar
let fever antltoXin frequently react
to II because Of the protein in the
horse serum These reactions may
cause a rash, fever, and swollen
joints Hence. il may not De used
when other forms of treatment are
available.
Il would appear. according 10
Doctors Max !. Fov and Norvan F.
Gordon Of Milwaukee. that a good
form Of treatment is the use OF
conyalescent serum. When given
to patients with scarlet fever, as
rule It produces a rapid lessening
Yin the severity of the symptoms
Fever goes down the patient feels
better, and a shorter stay in the
hospital is necessary. Further
more. the number Of deaths from
the disease is decreased.
Doctors Fox and Gordon com
pared 1000 patients treated with
the convalescent serum with>l ,000
who did not receive this treatment
Almost nine out Of every ten Of the
scarlet fever patients treated with
serum were severely III of the dis
ease. In contrast TO this. only two
patients out of ten of those who
did not receive this serum we're
severely i'll. The average period Of
fever for those treated with serum
was only two days, while in those
others treated without the serum,
il was five days. Those treated with
serum were sick for a total period
OF 24ia days as compared with
43i3 days for those not receiving
the serum. The number Of compli-
cations which developed was also
much less in the patients who re-
eeived the convalescent serum.
Thus, when scarlet fever occurs,
the doctor often decides that il
convalescent serum is available, it
should be administered promptly.
IL it is not available, the scarlet
fever antitoxin may be used, and
the sulfonamide drugs employed TO
treat the complications. In this
way, the number of deaths from
scarlet fever may be reduced and
the dangers OF the disease greatly
lessened.
