Chicago Expert Says Omaha Health
Departmejit Properly Takinp
Cftr of Epidemic.
HE ADVISES MORE INSPECTION
Health Commissioner Connell wrote Dr.
W. A. Evans of Chlcnro an outline of the
csrlet fever situation In Omaha, explain
ing what haa been doni by the health fle
rartment Dr. ETant la former health
commissioner of Chicago and la well
known throughout tho country In hla pro
Oaalon. Hla reply to Dr. Connell read
as follows:
CHICAGO. Feb. 10. -Dear Dr. Connell:
1 nave your letter of February 8 cncloelne;
Utter to Dr. Cane of February 7. I ain
mire the meaaurea you ore employing will
fontrol the epidemic, and my few mi
teRtlona are of minor Importance and
I should not be allowed to Interfere with
our program.
I think you are eomewhat overdoing
lather than leaving undone. If you will
make your paper program a little caaler
you will get better observance.
One nurse to three achoola ia scarcely
enough now that your disease la broad
cast m tne community.
Tou do not mention school physicians,
rhere should be at feast a few to aee
noubtrul caws.
I doubt the advlsabllitr of taklnr all
rhlldren from Infected homes out of school
and keeping them out for at least eight
days. It In better to register them and
require them to attend school but to be
Inspected the first thing es.cn morning.
The allghteat cold or other ailment In
such a child should call for quarantine.
Spend less money on fumigation and
put It in Inspectors and nurses. Fumi
gation of cars, picture halls, achoola. etc.,
can be done away wlih. Providence and
some other places do not fumigate homes.
Peeling as a basis for termination of
quarantine holds aome canes too long.
Throat, nose and ear conditlona Is a bet
ter criterion.
It strike me you ought to have more
Inspectors especially school Inspectors,
and nurses and contagion Inspectors
among your milkmen.
A proper ruin is ono tenulrlng appro
priate treatment of the throat (eara and
nose when required) during Illness and
also during convalescence.
I feel certain, doctor, that most of these
pointa you cover, but you failed to note
them in your letter to Dr. Case.
