Like the ma- jority of homes which scarlet fever had visited, the parents didn't evidently consider the malady a serious one, and it was only after the youngster had shown violent symptoms, that the real danger was apparent. An effort was then made to reach a Hanover doctor by phone, but the hour being late, and the rural phone system having closed, it was necessary to drive and get the physician.
