Vernon Larson, Roosevelt city physician, for people to exercise every possible precaution of cleanliness to aid in controlling a serious virus infection that has sent several to the hospital and' many others to bed at home. According to Dr. Larson the infection affects the intestinal and digestive tracts, causing upset and high stomachs, dysentery fever. ALhough threre seems to be an over abundance of the malady in the Roosevelt area, cases have been reported in California and various parts of Utah. All ages from small babies to adults have become infected. To dispell any fear some might have that the illness has been caused from the recent polio shots, Dr. Larson reported many who have contracted the disease had not had polio shots. He was reasonably sure there was no connection between the two. Take Precautions A strong plea has come from the city physician to boil all drinking water, wash raw fruits and vegetables before eating them, wash hands before eating and more often if possibel, drink plenty of liquids and get an abundance of rest.
