Now there are plenty other | cases. P. S.—It seems to me that extra precautions should be taken to keep the children of these families out of school.” In answer to this letter Health Officer Ham- mett yesterday directed Mr. Sanders a copy of | Dr. Osmun’s report, which was as follows: “Ihave the honor to report that I have care- fully investigated the subject referred to in the communication of Mr. T.
