Twenty-five Cases In City

Twenty-Five Cases In City

Becoming Alarmed Over Scarlet Fever Epidemic

Rigid Regulations

Will be Enforced by Board of Health--A Conference of Physicians Will be Called

Twenty-five new cases of scarlet fever were reported in Ann Arbor Sunday and one death. There are now 25 cases of scarlet fever in the city. The Board of Health complain of the disregard some of the people are showing for the health regulations and propose to strictly enforce them, if arrests have to be made. So serious is the scarlet fever epidemic becoming that the Board of Health contemplate calling a conference of physicians to see what can be done about it. The schools are closed but instead of this fact checking the disease it seems to have added fuel to it.

Rigid quarantine for scarlet fever must be imposed and those people who will not regard it will probably be sent to jail for their criminal neglect of the laws made for the purpose of stamping out the disease.
