A. A. Brown of this city. FOR MEN ONLY! The Chairman of tlie Board of Health Makes a Statement. EDITOR REPUBLICAN: It is a thankless job to try to attend to the duties of an office, to which no compensation' is attached, and a more thankless task to reply to a newspaper criticism, but the article in the Mail of January 9lb headed-'A Censure," is so unjust and so untrue I am constrained to make a statement concerning the matter.

The first statement in the the first cases of diphtheria were at Mr. Frank Winsor's, is correcf. The next statement that Dr. Daniels deserves censure for not quarantining must away off.for the cases were quarantined; that is they were directed no one to The board at that time had no placards and was not authorized to get them except on order of the chairman of committee on printing, who was away. The Mail goes on to say: -'A hired girl of Mr.

Winsor's was taken sick with the disease, allowed to go home and afterwards died." It is again al. wrong. The girl was taken sick, but was taken care of by Mr. Winsor, who not only furnished her a physician who visited her three times a day, bu 1 hired a nurse for special care; and in stead of her going home and dying, she is alive and well at the present time. The fact is that her mother, accompanied by a younger brother, came to see her and was refused admittance by Mr.

Winsor, but insisted and almost forced her way in and visited with the girl, taking the boy into the bedroom with her. The re suit was the boy took the disease am ijave it to a sistei at home who du die. The hired girl was sick a room off of the kitchen and the Marston lad undoubtedly contracted the disease in a mild form, from coming into the kitrhen to deliver meat. When taken bis mother treated the sore throat and it happened to be the most approved treatment for the diphtheria SIM throat and he was soon well. No do tor was employed and no report wa made to the board of health, but a one after another was taken with th trouble, the last one to have it, beiru a little more sick than the others, Parmelee was called and immediate! reported the case.

The board immed ately quarantined the family agams- the most emphatic protests of Mr Marston, sending the boy home fron the market he was employed in, and taking the precaution to go to the county commissioner for the Mitchell district and making arrangements so that she should be supplied with the wherewith to keep them comfortable during the period quarantined in twenty minutes of the time the board was notified. The third case did not come from Mr. Winsor's, but the board are satisfied they can trace the sickness in this family directly to the Marston family (before the board was notified). Mr. Barber's housekeeper being Mrs.

Marston'a mother, At the time Mr. Barber's cases were reported they were promptly quarantined and word sent to ask for assistance if required. It was reported to the board that Mr. Barber said that he could care for the children, no nurse was sent, nor will be unless asked for. If the family can attend to their sick it reduces the danger of contagion just so much.

Dr. Parmelee caught the disease from this child of Mr. Barber's. In regard to the case of Miss Mutziger, Dr. Parmelee said sLe worked tor him four days when she complained of sore throat.

The doctor examined the throat, found nothing but a red surface with some enlargement of the tonsils and not feeling like work she went to her sister's. She might have caught the disease from the doctor's clothing as It waa not until the Thursday following that he was taken with the disease. Suspecting what might be the trouble with him I myself visited him, made an examination, pronounced it diphth ri. and quarantined the house and commenced to fumigate thoroughly. The result of the vigorous persistent and thorough fumigation can be seen in the fact hat no member of his family, not even the babe, took the disease.

We take issue with the Mail here, in the fact that the girl left his house and his sight before it were possible to diagnose the disease. The Mail goea on to say: "Here the board of health deserves a reprimand, the housejof Mr.Helbal was quarantined, no nurses were supplied and the sick one and her sister who caught the disease shortly after Miss Mutiziger was removed, had no one to wait upon them except Mr, Heibal." The faclis are, Dr. Sevey reported the case of Miss Mutziger, I think on Saturday, tasked him to take the placard to tbe marshal as he was going over and have it put on the door. This was done within ten minutes of the report of the case. I visited Mr.

Heihal in Mr. Rhodes' bakery and asked him if he was waiting on his wife's sister. Uis answer was no, his wife was. I told him he must not visit the family and work--must either take his metis and sleep away or give up work'. At tbe same time I asked if they wanted anything.

His answer was and that he had not been at his house sine learning of tbe disease.

later informed that the young lady' father was then assisting in taking care of her. Over a week afterwards it came to the knowledge of the boar that Mrs Heibal also had the disease I asked who was taking care of he aud the ansver was, her husband. saw the marshal that day and told him he must see they wanted nothing, also saw the county commissioner and toll him probably the marshal would cal on him for supplies for Mr. Heibal's family. The next paragraph says she diec and was buried not in the afternoon but after 12 o'clock on New Years morning.

On receiving notice of her death, we ordered an immediate burial and were met with the information that they had sent a man to Borne township to have a grave dug and arrangements made for the burial and asked that they might be allowed to do so. 1 he board finally gave them leave to do so if they would leave Mitchell at midnight--bury her before morning and hold no funeral; this was to protect people in Borne township. Between 4 and 5 p. m. Mrs.

Heibal sent for me and told me that they bad ascertained that th roads were in such a condition they could not take her to Ethan, I thereupon instructed the marshal to see to the digging the grave. Be then asked for some one to wait upon him. I told him the marshal was instructed to see that he wanted for nothing and again instructed the marshal in his presence to see that he wanted for nothing, and asked him if there was anything else he wanted and he said no, he had money enough as yet. The grave was hnished during the evening and as soon as the marshal had got the necessary help to bury her it was done. Now this family knew from the first that the marshal had orders to obtain everything that waa needed.

The board would not send any more to be exposed than enough to take proper care of them. The whole exertion and intent of iheboarc was to kill out the disease and reduce the risk of contagion to a minimum. In this communication we desire to say In reference to the paragraph in regard to W. Y. U.

and W. R. C. that there is no objection to their giving all they please but as to visiting diptheritic patients, it should not be. It is to visiting that two valuable lives were sacrificed in the recent For the "Mail's" benefit we will say that several persons were visiting every one they knew, to get a nurse for a day before one was obtained.

As soon as it was known one was needed, it was ordered, if one could be obtained. In answer to the "Mail's" summing up Dr. Daniels gives the Mail this advice: Firs', you better read and digest the health law. Second, in no case has he failed to perform at once his official duty on notice that there was need. Dr, Parmelee did not know that it was to be a case of diphtheria when Miss Mutzi- ger left his house.

The city board of health never refused whisky in the Mutziger and Heibal cases. It is the first it has heard of that fact. Lastly if the Mall will come to bead- quarters when it is short of matter to fill space, we will gladly give it all the the in formation in our power--rather than to have it make up its brief from gossip on the streets. If the Mail baa anyone in mind who can attend to the duties of chairman of trie board of health of the city of Mitchell more advantageous to the public health, for nothing and board himself, I will gladly recommend him to his honor, the mayorj with my resignation.
