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.
