State Health Officer Fears the Spread of Meningitis Among Civilians. Columbia, April 17.?A warning to the physicians of the State to prepare for a possible spread of eerebro ?pinal meningitis among the civilian population of South Carolina next fall and winter was sounded today by Dr. James Adams Hayne, State health olllcer, in an address on the disease before the South Carolina Medical Association, now in session at Alken. "In these troublous times, when Up stern necessity for winning tho war exists." said Dr. Hayne, "we will have to expect this disease to be an ever present menace in our midst, und ev? ery doctor will have to be on the alert and perfect himself in the art of lum? bar puncture, which appears a much more serious procedure than it really j is. The doctor must learn how to give the serum intravenously as well as intraspinously if he expects to I save many lives, for we are bound to have meningitis among the new men brought to concentration cam Pa and if the custom of giving week-en 1 furloughs to the soldiers continues to prevail the disease will continue to be carried to the civilian population, for culturing contacts do not mean that all who are carriers are discov? ered, as wo have learned to our sor? row'." The numerous cases of infection in th|s State, said Dr. llayne, "warns us that next fall and winter may show a mar?' serious spread . of the dis ease." \ ? I I ASSISTANT FOR GOl TH ALS. Col.
