Seeley, state health officer, a partial copy of which is given below, came ta me this morning in answer to my letter ot inquiry relative to the quarantine the state board ot health had put on the influenxa. The letter Is dated Portland. Dec 17. 191S, Ir. J. O. Nibley. City Health Officer. Grants Pass, Oregon. Dear Doctor: Tours ot the 16th received. Per mit me to compliment you on your card. I think it is really the best one that I have seen. I should ab solutely enforce it go as far as you like. The state board of health at its annual meeting last Saturday, placed Influenza on the quanantine list. This means that the patient is strictly isolated and those in close contact are also quarantined from coming and going outside of the house, and no visitors are permitted. I do not believe we will have any trouble in court' in 'enforcing this measure . , . . the attorney gen eral advises me to go ahead as health takes precedence over everything else in law. The doctors must take precautions on coming and going to their patients, furthermore the pat lent that Is Just recovering is the one that is spreading the disease. Again complimenting you and as suring you that we will back you up to the greatest possible extent, I am Tours very truly, A. C. SBELET. State Health Officer. The number of new cases reported this week shows the epidemic is on the decrease, there having been re ported only 21 new cases during the first four days of the week; with 2 new cases today . at three o'clock And we can further decrease the number of new cases each day it wen can have the whole hearted coopera tion ot the public and the doctors. Mayor Demary has no desire to institute the very drastlo measures the mayors ot some ot the towns and cities have found It necessary to put into effect In order to control the Intluenia. Neither will it be neces sary to place an absolute quarantine on the homes where lutlueuia Is known to exist If the doctors win put up the Influenxa cards which have been furnished them, and caution the family against allowing visitors to come in and directly expose them selves to the disease. And the fam ily must tollow the doctor's Instruc tions and show some real consider ation tor others. Most ot the outbreaks ot Influenza and the very sudden onset ot great number ot new rases all within a day or so ot each other can be traced directly to public dances or private dancing parties and we should deny ourselves the pleasure of. dances while there Is any Infln ensa In the community. And avoid crowds ot all sorts and it won't be necessary to close things up and put an absolute quarantine on your homes. DR. J. O. NIB LET, City Health Officer.
