Influenza Precautions Urged By Local Health Official
Dr. Thomas Walsh, the local health officer, urges influenza precautions to control the epidemic. A recommended mouth and nasal wash uses a pint of cooled boiled water with salt and baking soda, plus avoiding crowds and keeping children in yards. The epidemic has reached Middletown but is not as severe as elsewhere, and following these steps can aid physicians in stamping it out.
