Washington. Fnmo nnd fortune
nwnlt tile man who can trace to Its
sourep that periodical bugbear of the
army nnd navy tho measles and
mumps epidemic.
For some unknown reason', when
ever troops nro concentrated, either
In large rumps or on board ship, ono
of the Ili-Ht diseases to make Its ap
pearance Is the included, nnd this dis
ease which most of us place In tho
category of childhood Ills, Is one of
tho most dreaded by nrmy surgeons.
Symptoms of the disease appearing
In any of the men Is the signal for
the Immediate qunrnnllulug of the
soldier's company and the barracks
where ho Is located. Fumigation of
the burracks then follows and every
precaution Is taken to prevent an
epidemic.
An nfter-effect of menslos, greatly
feared by uriny surgeons, Is (he devel
opment of pneumonia, and It hns been
found that the fatalities among ma
ture persons aro much greater than
with children. The pneumonia result
tins been more prevalent In the canton
ments located In 'the southern states
than In 'those of the North or West,'
Generally speaking, surgeons look
for mumps at about the time that
measles appear, nnd are rarely disap
pointed. The fntnlltles through mumps
do not begin to reach the number of
those by measles, but the sumo rigid
quarantine Is observed In both ruses.
For many years the best surgeons
111 (lie nrmy hnvc been working on
theories that would eradlcnto the
source of these diseases, but Ihey have
to ndinlt that they nre now noneurer
n solution than ever before.
This Is the senson of the yenr Hint
the epidemics nsuully start, nnd it
would not be surprising to henr of
tho quarantining of entire canton
ment posts in nil seel Ions of the coun
try through the holiday season.
