Show PHYSICIANS DIFFER ABOUT DIAGNOSIS OF SMALLPOX Special to The Tribune. OGDEN. Feb. 22. There seems to be a wide divergence of opinion opin-ion among some of the physicians of Ogden at this time regarding the proper symptoms of smallpox. Recently Dr. Anna F. Hies, city physician, ordered a quarantine placed on the residence of Frank Towne. lOUG Twenty-fourth street, after an eruption on the face of one of the children of the family had been diagnosed diag-nosed as smallpox. The family culled In Drs. Frelgay, Ttob-Inson Ttob-Inson and Dickson, who examined the child and diagnosed the case as a simple case of erythema. Dr. Kles refuses to recede from her diagnosis, declaring that her examination was made at the time the disease was in lis early stages, and will not allow the quarantine at the Towne home to be raised. The child on whose face the eruption first appeared Is now said to be entirely well, but the quarantine is still being maintained at the home. This disagreement of physicians has caused considerable comment In Ogden. Another case of smallpox was reported to tho city physician this morning at 1055 Twenty-fourth street Immediately opposite tho Towne residence. |
