FIVE CASES OF MENINGITIS IN COUNTY
DR, PARK OF STATE BOARD OF
HEALTH HAS BEEN HERE
SINCE SATURDAY.
ALL THE VICTIMS ARE NEGROES
There Have Been Three Deaths, One
of the Patients Dying This Morn
ing. What the Disease Is, Its
Treatment and Mode of Infection.
According to Dr. E. R. Park, of
the state board of health, who was
called to Dawson Saturday for con
sultation with Dr. Guy Chappell,
there are several cases of cerebro
spinal meningitis in the county, all
of the victims being negroes.
When Dr. Park arrived he diag
nosed the illness of three young ne
groes of one family, who were sick
on the farm of Mr. Robert Cannon,
two miles west of Dawson, as menin
gitis. These were Evergreen Smith,
aged 15 years; Minnie Jjackson, agedl
10 years, and Mamie Jackson, aged
six years. Dr. Park also states that |
there have been two cases of the
disease near Bronwood, the victims
being Dave Newkirk and his daugh
ter, Annie Newkirk, both negroes.
Dave Newkirk is said to have im
proved considerably and has left the |
community.
The three patients on the farm of
Mr. Cannon went there from Dawson
two or three weeks ago following the
death of their mother, Lottie Jack
son, and her baby, a year and
a half old, their death resulting
from something that resembled men
ingitis. The report became current
among the negroes that the mother
and child had been conjured, and
before they died large crowds fioek-1
ed to the home to see them. ‘
Evergreen Smith died this morn
ing, and was buried under the direc
tion of Dr. Park. He had the grave
diggers to leave after finishing theirl
work, and the body of the girl was
placed in the coffin and buried by
two men who had been exposed to
the disease.
Dr. Park has quarantined all of
the victims of the disease and vacci
nated evervone who has been expos
ed and does not apprehend an epi-‘
demic. He will remain here in‘

charge of the situation as long as it
is deemed necessary.
What Meningitis Is.
Dr. Park has furnished The News
with the following interesting infor
mation concerning the disease:
Cerebrospinal meningitis, spotted
fever, or as it is more commonly
called, simply meningitis, is one of
the most terrible and fatal of all dis
eases, the mortality running up to
as high as 100 per cent in some local
epidemies,
Although the cause of the disease
has been known for a number of
vears the exact method by which the
germ that produces it spreads from
'man to man was until recently en-
It.irely unrecognized, and even now
it cannot be said that the whole mat
ter has been demonstrated with sci
entific exactness.
Character of the Disease.
Cerebrospinal meningitis is a dis
ease which is produced by a minute
vegetable organism. This germ does
not appear to occur normally in any
of the lower animals, nor has it been
found in the outer world, and is
therefore to be regarded as a dis
tinctly human parasite It is very
fortunately a germ of low vitality, as
it develops only at about biood heat,
and when expelled from its normal
dwelling place iu the human body it
dies very quickly. These germs get
within the skull and spinal canal,
and produce violent inflammation of
the coverings of the bran and cordj
these membranes are called ‘‘men
inges,”” hence the name ‘“‘cerebrospi
nal meningitis.”” Within a short
time after their entrauce pus is pro
duced, and the condition becomes
practically one of abscess around the:
brain and spinal cord.
Cause of the Disease.—ln almest
all cases the disease is preceded by a
slight catarrhal condition of the nose
and throat, the symptoms being
those of an ordinary cold. The symp
toms that point to the covering of
the brain being attacked come on
with great suddenness; there is usu
ally a chill, followed by intense head
‘ache, vomiting, restlessness, with
igreat dread of noises and bright
light; in many cases reddish spots
‘appear beneath the skin, these being
usually quite tender on pressure. In
some cases the muscles of the neck
become very stiff, and contract so
that the head is drawn backward.
The temperature is somewhat irregu
lar, but is always above mormal in
the beginning, and sometimes goes
very high; the pulse is as a rule
normal, or but little accelerated. Af
the uatient remains in the condi
tion just described for from a few
hours to several days he generally
becomes unconscious, and in a com
paratively short time dies. In some
cases the symptoms after starting off
very violently quickly subside, and
the patient makes a comparatively
rapid recovery. In other instances
the disease begins more mildly, the
patient having more or less of the
iusual symptoms, but not so severely
|as is ordinarily the case; in such
!cases the patient may die, after lin
i gering weeks or months; or may
make a protracted recovery, with
frequently partial paralytic condi
tions that permanently remain.
Treatment.—The antimeningeal
serum treatment has very materially
’reduced the death rate, but for this
method to be effective it is highly im
portant that it should be begun early
in the course of the disease.
Mode of Infection.—As this disease
is one that is due to a specific germ
it is obvious that it cannot exist with
out the presence of this organism;
the malady is therefore infectious,
lmust necessarily be to a certain ex
tent contagious, notwithstandng the
fact that it is generally thought not
to be so. The reason that the affec
tion has not been thought to be con
tagious may be explained by the fol
lowing facts: Recent investigation
has shown that in many, if not all,
instances of this disease the germ
may be found in the nose and throat,
where, as has already been explain
ed, it sets up a condition resembling
an ordinary cpld. In all probability
the infection takes place in the nasal
cavity first, and the germ ultimately
finds its way to the coverings of the
brain. Now there is every reason to
believe that in many and probably in
a great majority of instances the
germ goes no further than the mu
cous membrane of the nose, and the
patient merely has as a consequence
what he considers an ordinary cold.
It is clear, however, that if another
individual, who was very susceptible
to this germ, should contract the
disease from this person he might
have the meningeal form of it. In
other words, it is probably true that
the vast majority of people who are‘
attacked by this organism simply
get colds as a donsequence, and only
now and then does a person get men
ingitis as a result. This explains why
the disease does not ordinarily ap
pear contagious.
People who are exposed to thosel
having meningitis should be exceed
ingly careful not to get upon their
persons any of the secretions that
come from the patient, and during
periods of epidemics those who ob
serve a bad cold coming on should
promptly consult their physicians
and do everything to prevent the de
velopment of all catarrhal conditions
in their noses.
During epidemics persons with
colds should be very careful not to
allow other people to become infect
ed from them. As cold and wet are
‘undoubtedly predisposing causes to
colds it is well for every one to shun
‘such exposure during periods when
meningitis is prevalent; debilitating
influences, such as alcoholc excess
and lack of sleep should also be
avoided.
1t is considered wise for those ex
posed to the disease to be vaccinated
with the meningo-bacterius. This
preparation, as well as the serum,
|will be cheerfully furnished by the
State Board of Health to physicians
't‘ree of charge.
