HEALTH HEAD ALARMED OVER SMALLPOX HERE Dread Disease Spreads Rapidly Throughtout City, I Dr. Meyer Says SIX NEW CASES ARE REPORTED SATURDAY Residents Leaving Mansfield Afflicted In Nearby Cities, Claim Eleven smallpox cases have been reported to the health department at noon Saturday, Dr.

T. R. Meyer, health commissioner announced. This is an additional six cases from Friday noon and according to all indications the number will continue grow because of the thousand or more contacts that have made with the afflicted people. The contagious and dreaded disease is not' confined in any certain section of the city but prevalent over the entire city.

There are four cases in one family at Garden Acres and all residents in this section are reported by Dr. Meyer as being susceptible to the disease because of their contacts with the afflicted family. Other cases located in the north section of the city, Olivesburg road, Hedges street and at Crestline. Symptoms Identical The commissioner has also received two telegrams from Columbus and Cleveland concerning Mansfield residents who are confined in these nearby cities with smallpox. The telegrams state that these residents left Mansfield with slight colds but were stricken soon upon arriving in the respective cities.

Dr. Meyer believes that these people had colds and thought they were in no danger. "The symptoms of smallpox and influenza are identical, he explained, and it is impossible for the average individual to diagnose his own case without consulting a physician. This 1S what is making the local situation more serious. Many people with colds think they have slight attacks of the flu and refuse to isolate themselves or protect their own fellowmen, Dr.

Meyer said. If they have smallpox instead of the flu, he explained they are subjecting still more people to the disease and making the situation more acute. Urges Vaccination. In view of a serious smallpox epidemic in Mansfield, Dr. Meyer is earnestly urging all people to be vaccinated and to consult their family physicians to ascertain the exact nature of their illness.

"Vaccination is the only measure we know of to prevent the spread of this disease," he said. "Doctors are cooperating with us to the fullest extent to check the spread of smallpox, but we need the cooperation of the public as well. The health department will be glad to give any advice free concerning vaccination, and welcomes any communications."
