F Lyman Declares Epidemic Claiming Hany Here; Sees Danger. An epidemic of trench mouth or Vincent's disease, a gum and throat Infection, is spreading rap idly in the university, according to Dean R. A. Lyman, ana snoum uc checked at once by preventative measures and medical treatment. The prevalence of the disease is inHirntari hv the raci tnai me uni versity health service, which Dean Lyman directs, is treating more cases of trench mouth now than ever before. The number of stu dents who come to the health serv ice for treatment of sucn injec tion is on the increase. LisU Symptoms. Svmntnms of trench mouth are hippdinsT e-ums and deeD seated ul cers in the throat and mouth that do not heal readily. Treatment, to be effective, must be administered hv rnmnetent Dhvsicians or dental surgeons. Dean Lyman urges all students witn any irace i me m- foftinn tn renort to the student health service for medical atten tion. Mild in its earlv staees. trench mouth, unless checked, becomes so serious that an individual may lose manv teeth and suirer a dioou- stream infection. Some of the cases now being treated by the student neaitn service are u chronic intravenous solutions of mercury have to be injected. The disease is transmitted from one person to another very easily. To avoia an infection of trench mouth students should take great est care not to use pipes, musical instruments, laboratory instru ments, r-r any other articles of personal hygiene tha are used by others, Dr. Lyman says. Mouth washes serve as a pre ventive to some extent but are useless without other treatment if infection sets in. I I 1. . J s pamous Arcnaeoiogisi anu Authority on Early Religions.
