CASE OF DIPHTHERIA DISCOVERED SATURDAY

Nurse From Indianapolis Developed Case While Visiting Here—ls Quarantined at Fair Oaks.

Miss Beatrice Bozell, of Fair Oaks, who is taking a nurse’s training course in the M. E. hospital at Indianapolis, came home last week on a vacation and while in Rensselaer Saturday became ill, and called at a local physician’s office. The doctor saw at once that the case was diphtheria and hastened the young lady <to her home in Fair Oaks in his automobile. There he had a tent erected in the woods and she was quarantined in the tent. The case is a very severe one. There have been a number of exposures but the county health officer is keeping a careful surveilance over them and will quarantine at once any cases that may develop. Miss Bozell was shopping in Rensselaer and walked about the streets tor a short time before her case developed to the point where she called upon the physician.
