ee i} DISEASE MAY BE TULAREMIA Victims of Suspected Cases of Spinal Meningitis May Have Had Rabbit Fever: 4 D., Mandan, N. D., Dec. 16,—(AP)— Suggestion that the dead members of the Boettcher family at New Eng- land, the Schroeder family at Cava- Mer, Miss Olive MacCadams, Man- dan, and other susp.cted cases of spinal meningitis which developed here yesterday, may have been vic- tims of the disease tularemfa or rabbit fever, has aroused a discus- sion among local practitioners, The microbe of tularemia has been fsolated by Dr. Edward Francis of the United States bureau of public health, who issued a warning to the public concerning the danger of pecially, in the September issue of @ leading national magazine. Cases Much-Discussed Thousands of rabbits are killed each winter in western North Da- kota and thousands of hides shipped ~ east to furriers. Since the appear- ‘ance of the magazine article, there has been widespread discussion of “rabbit fever.” Tying up the tularemia sugges. tion, Miss MacCadams, local victim ‘of what was diagnosed as acute cerebraspinal meningitis, was em- Ployed in a hardware store which last year purchased hundreds of rabbit hides. 6 The suggestion is taken so seri- ously locally that Secretary A. W. Furness of the Mandan Chamber of Commerce today had broadcast over radio station KGCU and carried in the local press a suggestion that hunters follow the advice of Dr. Francis and wear rubber gloves in ekinning rabbits. WHITTEMORE DOUBTS THAT TULAREMIA CAUSED DEATHS Doubt that tularemia, a disease transmitted to humans by rabbits, has caused any deaths in North Da- kota this year was expressed here today by Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state health director. Dr. Whittemore’s attention was called to the matter by the theory, advanced at Mandan, that tularemia may be responsible for several deaths in western North Dakota. Dr. George Sarchert, New Eng- land, who is attending members of the Boettcher family, sick with a malady which has kept one eight- year-old boy unconscious for 17 days, told Whittemore over the tele- phone today that there was nothing strange about the disease, in his opinion, Epidemic Lreaks Out A severe epidemic of influenza thas occurred in the New England area, Sarchert sald, and has caused three deaths. To date he has had about 25 cases, but most of his pa- tients recovered quickly. It is the same kind of inflifenza ‘which ewept the country in 1918, Sarchert told Whittemore, and oc- casionally occurs with encephalitis, Just as it did then, To this fact is attributed the death of the two mem- bers of the Boettcher family who Buccumbed several weeks ago. Dr. Sarchert is at a loss to ac- count for the spreading of what he termed “wild rumors” regarding ‘conditions in his territory, Dr. Whit- temore said, Not Hard to Diagnose “Tularemia in humans is not dif- ficult to diagnose if the physician thinks of it,” Dr. Whittemore said. White spots on the liver of a rab- bit indicate that the animal is in- fected with the disease, Dr. Whitte- more stated. In the skinning proc- ess it may also be detected by the L nodules that appear through- out the inner layers of the skin, Only a few isolated cases of tu- flaremia among rabbits have been reported to the state public health laboratory. These all came from the western part of the state and are thought to have been carricd here by diseased rabbits from Mon. tana and Wyoming, where the dis- ease has been prevalent at various times, Tick Carries Disease The disease is carried from one fabbit to another by a tick. Dr. Whittemore doubts if tular- emia is prevalent in the state. Nine cases were reported last year, all from Bowman county, but none have ‘been reported this year. The onset of the disease in hu- mans is rapid and is characterized by enlarged glands, local abscesses and an acute high fever. The mor- tality is high, * DISEASE IS ‘VERY RARE’ SAYS ROCHESTER DOCTOR Rochester, Minn., Dec. 16.—(4)— A paper recently published by a member of the Mayo clinic staff of Rochester describes tularemia as a “very rare” disease, transmitted to humans through handling rabbits and other rodents which’ have he- come infected. Several cases have been treated here. Tularemia 8 local lesions, ulcer-like in nat in the skin of sons affected. It is accompan- Tea usually by fever, and the wave- like character of this fever is one of the means of identifying the dis- ease. The fever is not unlike that which gap . There at present no specific remedy for tularemia. The lesions are treated as ulcers, the: fever is reduced and rest is prescribed for the patient. : -, Fargo Doctor and : Bismarck Attorney Talk to Medics ‘In a discussion of medico-legal matters at the convocation of mem- bers of. the.

Senators Duncan U. Fletcher, democrat, Florida, ‘and Gerald P. Nye, progressive 1>publican, North Dakota, have launched a deter- mined fight against Eugene Meyer as chairman of the board and de- clare that the two men appointed with him, George R.
