SOURCE OF SCARLET FEVER The fact that Illinois emerged early in the summer from, the greatest cpidemic w;ave Of scarlet fever ever recorded in the State makes especially interesting any reliable information concerning the source of this disease, the methods of spreading ar.d tne means of control. Frequently the source of an outbeak is some person whQ believes himself to be troubled with a simple respiratory infection but who actually has a mild attack of scarlet fever. These people Usually are partially immune, that fact accounting for the mildness of the -Attack. Thus believing they have no serious ailment, special precautions against spreading the infectio are not observed and an outbreak of scarlet fever follows. , This is the opinion of a group of physicians in Detroit, including Gordon, Badger Darling and Schooten who made foi* the city health department a detailed epidemiological study of scarlet fever cases that involved 3,097 families in a particular area of the city during three years. These obsevers concluded on the basis of their study that nearly one-third of a" secondary cases of scarlet fever Thursday September, 5, ld35 garded as simple respiratory infections. They believe also that scariet fever is .spread chiefly by carriers rather than by cases, except within families where patients are the source of secondary cases as frequently as are carriers. The belief that ailments regarded as minor upper respiratory infections are often in truth scarlet fever is strengthened by the observation that p:rions so affected frequently develop immunity to scarlet fever as the result of the illness. .This fa£t was. brought tQ light through the use of the Dick test, before, during and after recovery from illnesses of, this character. That scarlet fever often appears in extremely mild form is of the greatest importance with respect to control measures. When tonsilitis or apparently simple sore throat may actually be mild scarlet fever, the dif-r ficulties of limiting the spread afe manifest. Under such, circunistanceis thje ultimate control -over the disease will probably depend upon one or both of two factors: either peo»" pie generally must be immunized against the diseaste or they must become so health conscious that perget the infection from undiagnosed J sons affected with minor respiratory and, unrecongized cases that are re-"ills will voluntarily isolate themsetv- • KRAUSE K00K00 EGG MASH With Double the Cod Liver 0%l EGG PRODUCTION VTOW Is die time to buy i good laying mash.
