From tho Hot Springs and Mills additions 71' cases woro reported, nnd from west of tho rlvor 60 casos. Tho survoy of othor sections was not complete, but, assuming that tho proportion Ib tho same olsowhoro, Dr. Soule es timated that thoro wero probably 300 cuses under quarantlno at tho maximum stage. Since tho Isolation hospital wns oponed In tho now courthouso nnd quarantlno Inspectors appointed in sufficient numbers to forrot out all tho cases noodlng Isolation nnd main taining tho quarantlno regulations, thoro has been n rapid abntement of tho disease. Tho force of quarantlno officers has been roduced nnd throo nro now on duty, whoro six wero omployod before "With tho oxcoptlon of public dances," said Dr. Soulo, "all gather ings may convono as usual. The ban against dances will onduro for tho romnlndor of tho wook. Tho reason for this Is thnt tho InduenKa Is es pecially prono to attack tho young adult, nnd It Ib tho young people, of courso, who form tho majority of tho patrons of tho dances. "Ono thing I havo noticed In con nection with tho prosont opldomlc, from my own oxporlenco and the re ports of othor physicians, and thnt is thnt it is not attacking thoso who had it laBt year. Thoro doubtless dro exceptions, but that Is tho rulo. Those who had tho disease last year aro apparently immuno, and I be lieve that tho tlmo Is close at hand when a satisfactory sorum will be dtscovored that will immunize " the public from tho disoaso."
