SCARLET FEVER.
Several cases of scarlet fever are reported in the borough. Mr O’Brien, health officer, was in town to-day investigating. In conversation with us, the health officer said the spread of this disease was due to carelessness or ignorance on the part of parents in allowing their children to go to school while in a suspicious condition. The symptoms are sore throat, sickly, with headache, the rash appearing first on the chest and arms, then extending over the body. The rash fades after a couple of days and then it is difficult to state the case. When the above symptoms appear, a medical man should be called in.
