Show KHLTH DEPARTMEM 11 11 COIIIOi Sanitary Inspector Shorten desires to warn the public with regard to tho presence of a few cases of contagious disease in tho city and to ask the hearty co-operation of all the people in putting down the menace. There are at present twenty known cases of smallpox and it Is essential for the best interests of the public health that any sign of this and similar simi-lar physical disorders shall be dealt with promptly. Call in the doctor to aid your judgment at the least sign of any appearance of a contagious disease Particularly is it to be regretted that some people allow children to go to school when manifestly the health of the child warrants medical attention. As it Is impossible to control these diseases unless they are reported promptly to the department of public health the public Is particularly asked for a consistent and hearty co-operation. Persons wilfully concealing the presence of contagious diseases in their homes will be prosecuted to the limit. When In doubt about any disease or disorder, call in the doctor. |
