Dr. Coughlin advised the local hoard that extreme care in hand¬ ling the patient and in disinfecting articles and garments used in the sick room was of prime importance in checking the spread of the dis¬ ease, said that he could not stres.i too -strongly the need of cleanli¬ ness and precaution in treating the found conditions tlu-re satlsfaJ^ tory. fie visited schools and iionies wlieie the disease had ap peared and traced the history ot several cases so that he was en¬ abled to form some idea of how the disease spread. In his state- meiits to Mr. (;etz he said he felt conwiiced that much of the spread of the disease could he hiiil to dis¬ obedience in nne case and urged tlie health board to use very strin¬ gent aciioii if necessary to enforce tlieir healtli code. There is no danger of a further siiread of the malady he said if people will use extreme care in handling of the persons stricken with scarlet fever.
