The county cesspool back of the

meningitis, while for the eleven
months of 1911 only 261 perished,yet
in 1910 there vwro no quarantines
and no panic, and no one dreamed
of . stopping the schools and pro
hibitjug public gatherings. Who is
responsible for the panic of 1911?
Statistics show that the disease
prevails in Texas every month in
tho year,’hence it is foolish to be-
omnt’ aianrmsl over the appearance
of a case. The only thing to do
is to keep your home sanitary
at all times, and this will pot only
prevent meningitis, but will also
prevent the o|»pearance of many
other diseases, especially typhoid
fever.
