Measles

The measles is extensively prevailing in this vi­ cinity. Many say that they can’t tell where they got it unless they “caught it at the circus." Nie are satisfied that infectious diseases, especially meas­ les and scarlatina, are transmitted from point to point and scattered broadcast by these traveling companies. It is affirmed, however, of measles, that the gathering together of multitudes, or the mingling of people of different races, or from dif« ferent neighborhoods or classes of society, will generate the disease. Hence, in times of war, when men go into camp, rubeola is usually the first disease that makes its appearance.
