It creates healthy public sentiment and
points ' out" the way of " right ' living." '
Dr.-White added that "without 'the' help
of.. the. people .disease,' will . sweep the
state despite the organized agencies, in
cluding the state board of health, under
whose auspices the meeting1 was held.
Speaking on the "Relation of Pure Wa
ter to Public Health," Dr. White named
the Willamette river the "sewer of Ore
gon." He traced the progress made by
the disease from; thej'Bource to ths
mouth, wherever the water 'had been
need, and drew the coftcltision that, since
Oregon is provided with an' abundance of
pure mountain water,-It, 18 criminal not
to provide all Willamette,-valley towns

costs Oregon more than a njllllon dollars

cannot be computed in' the terma. of

Anterior polIyeHtls,. eaid.Dr. William

very contagious. The disease has been
passing in a kind of wave around" the
world. In 1907 it broke out in New
York, in much more epidemic form than
at any' other time since it was first
discovered in 1840. But Bcarlet fever is
six times aa contagious and deadly as
infantile paralysis. The number of fa
talities attending the disorder are com
paratively few, and the reason for the
popular apprehension ?oncemlng It . is
that its treatment is so little understood,
especially during the incipient stages.
Generally, Bpeaklng, Dr. , ' Williamson
concluded, when the child becomes list
less and stupid and changes Its habits,
when the muscles In one or more parts
of the body are sensitive, then It. will
be well , to, compel the child to rest
body and mind. The family physician
will then prescribe treatment. "'
