Two cases of infectious hepa-

Jackson Heights area of Cumb-
erland county have been report
ed to DR.. Francis j. Clements,
Southside Health Director.
DR.. Clements said the disease
is apparently caused by a virus
which is transmitted in wash
ing machine water, bath water,
kitchen waste, or other human
waste Humans get the dis
ease by swallowing the virus,
he said.
DR.. Clements warned that all
persons should stay away from
the Appomattox River below
where the sewerage is dumped
into the river, and not to eat
any fish caught in that area of
the river.
The county health department
is urging a countrywide effort
toward better sanitation. Staff
members have pointed out that
waste water dumped on tn e
ground where humans or ami
mails can track through it-plus
inadequate septic tanks an d
poorly located drain fields have
been found in several instances
where the disease has b c II
diagnosed.
Six new cases of the liver dis
ease in Appomattox have been
reported to the county health
department. This brings The to-
tai number of persons in South
side Health District contracting
the disease to about 80 since. the
