D. Bartlett. jj OU8er of p erry spent last Sunday in the city with his sister, R P Hollinshead. NO. 82 A CARD In reply to the card of Rev- J. B. Culpepper in last week’s Lea¬ der, I will say first as the Bro. made such a correct diagnosis of his own case, he evidently has missed his calling and should have been an M. D. as he would have made a successful diagnos¬ tician, which is very important in medical profession. However in regard to his advice as to what a doctor should do in case of con¬ tagious disease, will say that I was the physician attending the Avera children who had scarlet fever. At the first positive diag¬ nosis of scarlet fever, I informed the Mayor who with me agreed that as Mr. Avera did not live in central part of town and if he would follow directions given him which would prevent the spread of the disease, he himself might be allowed some freedom, while his family remained in quaran¬ tine. These precautions Mr. Av¬ era promised to take, and so far as Bro. Culpepper knows has lived up to it. However I could not promise that there would be no more cases in as much as the first case in the family was not regulated by a physician it being of so mild a type that the child had entirely recovered when I was called to see second patient. The public may rest assured that in cases of contagious dis¬ eases the physicians and rnayar Fort Valley will do their full duty to prevent the spread of such diseases, but let me say to all they must have the co-opera¬ tion of the public.
