I>R. HAYNE GIVES WARNING.
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." \
