\ SPOTTED FEVER STILL SPREADING Soco.rge Has Now Reached ‘Such Alarming Proportions in This City that It May Really Be Called an Epidemic. HOW ‘‘SPOTTED FEVER’S” DEATH ROLI, HAS GROWN. Reports to the Bureau of Vital Statistics show the number of deaths from cerebro-spinal menin- gitis during the weeks ending on the following dates of thiq year: oes 8 a Feb.,27 March 5. March 12 Total, eaawnacaa Cerebro-spinal meningitis, that dread scourge sometimes known as “spotted fever,” has increased in such propor- tions that dt might be called an epli- demic. Never aince the epidemic of 1872 have there been so many deaths from this disease reported at the Bureau of Vital Btatistics, Spinal meningitis usually appearance early in the 8 ing somewhat at the app! , ‘fhe physicians have been looking ment for several weeks, but the dis dg still making terrivio strides am children, ‘toe sani- uiry Officials say, however, that there is little cause for alarm, as with a con- ‘nuance of warm weather it Is sure 10 diss ar. ‘ Boina meningitis usually appears in murked degree after a purticulariy long and severe winter, ana it is a curious fact that the worst epidemics of this disease ve come at about lten-yeur Intervals, ever since it was first nuticed as a mysterious ailment in 1306, Although it is undoubtedly infectious, yet it is not strictly classed as @ con- us disease, consequently physicians ure not required to report the cases which they attend, excepting when death ensues. For this reason it is im- posuible to tell the axact spread of whe trouble, The re; t ox the number of deaths, however, is sufticiently alarming to occasion the greatest concern. ‘At the Bureau of Vital Statistics to- duy It was said that in other years the average number of deaths per wees from cerebro-spinal meningitis at this yn about six. For this » 0 perc has been far higher, a total of 458 deaths havin, been reported from Jan, 1 to the en for: this r week. In regard to the disease Dr, O'Leary, Assistant Registrar, said: “Phe majority of the cases of spinal meningitis end fatally from five to ten the disease is usually from five to tea days. When death does not ensue the sufferers are often permanently afflict. ed with bilndness, paralysis or loss of hearing. “Children from two to twelve yeart of age are more often the victims of spinal meningitis, although occasionally {t attacks grcwn people as well. “The tendency to take cold at this genson of the year is undoubtedly largely responsible for the prevalence of the disease, although bad sanitation is also a factor in the trouble. . It is dimcult to say definitely anything about this disease, as there is yet much_for physicians ¢o learn regarding tt. Gen- erally it runs such a short, swift course that the patient is dead before tio physician has been able to thor- oughly study the case. “It is caused undoubtedly by a germ Jmown as the sdiplozoccus interculloris, and the first intimations of the disease are ohills, convulsions, pains through- cut the body, severe headache, vomiting anderigidity of the neck, followed by une jousness."’ It ald that one of the best meth- ods to ascertain the presence of cere- bro-spinal meningitis is to suddenly » raise the patient to a sitting position, when the symptoms will become most Toarent. =— Shoe Dept.

We breathe into the lungs the polluted, germ-tainted air; the little microbes thén enter into the system, and feeding upon the red corpuscles of the blood, soon reduce this vital, life-sustaining fluid to such a weak, watery state that the patient becomes listless, pale and anemic, and mentally Amory, Miss,, Jan. 28, 1903. a About fifteen years ago I suffered with botis, and physically ed Ware apa took @ course of 8.8, S., which built mo up ed, Malaria may begin. t¢5 f eumered with Malaris, aad remembering with slight rigors orchil- how much good 8.8.8. had’ done me, I doter- ly sensations, followed mings,te try {iagein., Tam gled to say that the by fever and thirst ; but Itake 8. 8.8. every spring, ave no attack of gradually all parts of Deana bast sian ttee wmest ates me the system are affected ; : ‘A.
