Di- IT. Chesson, District Health Officer of Christchmeh,' state? that few people have any idea of the prevalence of scarlet fever in the district. In some cases the disease is so mild as not to be readily noticed, and ic is these cases that are really a danger to the community, as the symptoms are so slight that the parents pay little attention to what they regard as merely a temporary indisposition, and after a day or two away from school they send their children back to be a source of infection to their fellow pupils, with results that may he most disastrous in their ulterior consequences. It is no uncommon thing for a patient to incur serious complications after an attack of this disease, and parents and guardians cannot be too careful to watch their children in evan the slightest illness for indications of this more serious maladv.
