According to the report of the
health otlicers on the epidemic of
spinal meningitis over the state, the
disease is now considered under con
trol and rapidly dying out. The
centers in the state of this disease,
Stromsburg, Minders, York, Culbert
son, DeWitt, Arcadia and Comstock,
are reported under good control. The i
death rate for J uly is reported at 18,
while so far in August the death rate
has been considerably less. • It is
claimed if death ensues in such case
It is invariably within the tirst three
or four days. The disease was for
merly ^considered fatal, but with
the use of the serum and a better
conception of the disease, the facili
ties are comparatively few. Later
reports than above, however, claim
the epidemic has broken out in
Hamilton county and that last Sun
day the churches were closed and
every precaution is used to prevent
its spread and to stamp it out in its 1
Incipiency. j
