i REPORT ILLS IF GOMMUNICABLE,
MORGAN URGES
Law Makes It Mandatory, Doctor Says; Warns of Whooping Cough.
Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Board secretary, today urged all residents of Indianapolis to re
port contageous diseases coming to their attention. “In regards to notification of a contagious disease we have had very good co-operation from the public,” Dr. Morgan said. “However, there are some parents who fail to notify us because they wish to avoid the
restrictions which come with a quarantine. “As a general rule,” the doctor said, “neighbors interested in protecting their own children report the case to us.”
Mandatory by Law
A State law makes it mandato for everyone immediately to notify the health authorities if there is contagious disease in his home. If a doctor is called in on a case and finds that it is contagious, he reports the illness. “If na doctor is called in the family should do the notifying,” Dr Morgan explained. With the opening of school less than a month away, Dr. Morgan is especially anxious that all contagious diseases be reported. “Parents should also vaccinate their children agaipst diphtheria and smallpox before they enter school this fall,” he said.
Warns of Whooping Cough
“In the reporting of cases we have more than the usual trouble with whooping cough. Among children of pre-school age it is the most dan- - gerous of childhood diseases.” Three children died of this disease during June and while there probably will be approximately 150 or 160 cases reported this month, it represents a decline compared to the preceding two months. Parents often diagnose the beginning of whooping cough as an ordinary cold. The danger of not reporting this disease is obvious, the doctor said.
