B. C. Wilson, the new county doctor, who apprised [sic] of the death, was very prompt in handling the situation, working energetically and swiftly in locating and controlling all contacts and making every effort possible to prevent further spread of the disease. If the people of any community would strictly obey the orders of the health officer, epidemics would soon be stamped out. The trouble is that they never do it.
