DISEASE REPORT
Communicable diseases for
this season of the year are given
an extremely low rating, accord
Ing to Dr. Peter H. Rozcndal,
Klamath county health officer,
who reports comparatively few
"catching cases."
Three cases of diphtheria are
being treated at the isolation hos
pital, including two adults and
one child. There was one death
from diphtheria during the past
10 days, the victim a four-year-
old child. The cases were re
ported from the Malin area but
no new ones have occurred this
week. A mild type flu is preva
lent. Dr. Rozendal said, but the
cases of mumps and chickenpox
are below normal.
