' i "DENGUE" FEVER Many people in South Carolina would like to know something of "dengue' fever. The name "dengue' means "dandy' and is said to have been applied because of the stiff trectness and careful walk of those afflicted. The disease is old, having been authentically observed in Spain in 1764. In 1780 it was epidemic in Spain, India and the United States; in 1827-1828 it was epidemic in the ' West Indies and Charleston, S. C., and in 1848-1850 in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and ' Texas. In 1870 another epidemic spread over India and East Africa and Java, reaching our Gulf states , in 1873. In New Orleans at this time 40.000 people were attacked. Much the same territory has been covered 1 at each epidemic. The fever begins with a chill and!; general aching, and swelling of the'] joints, with severe pains in thei1 bones. It is accompanied by a rose 1 colored, breaking; out, and great pros- ] tration. The disease is rarely fatal, J< and is of short duration. It is be-j] lieved to be mosquito borne bUtii differs somewhat from malaria. Those :! afflicted have no good word to speak j of it, and declare the first day you ] fear you will die, and the second < you fear you will not. 1 ( A community club of farm women i in Cherokee County, Kans, accord- < ing to statements ,to tne unitea < States Department of Agriculture, J report s 2,065 healthy chicks from hatching totaling 2,486, as a result of following the methods of sanitation feeding demonstrated by the county extension agent. !
