SCARLET FEVER SCARE

Urbana Daily Courier April 13, 1904

Many Champaign Families Afflicted With Disease

Sufferers Are Among Best Families in Sister City — Schools Fumigated Every Night.

Champaign is now in the throes of one of the worst epidemics of scarlet fever that it has ever experienced. More houses are now quarantined than ever before at one time. As a consequence of this quarantine families are divided against themselves, husbands and brothers and in some cases wives, mothers and sisters are shut away from their sick relatives and compelled to seek lodgings and boarding at hotels.

The disease is not by any means confined to the poorer classes, as is usually the case, but many of the best families are afflicted. Among them is the family of J. W. Murray, the grain merchant. Mr. Murray has been very unfortunate lately. A few weeks ago his new grain elevator at White Heath was blown down by a terrific wind storm and now three members of his family are afflicted with scarlet fever. There are cases in the families of J. B. Harris , G. A. Tyrrell , P. C. Amsbury, manager of the water works, and H. A. Holister; state high school visitor.

Every school room in Champaign is being thoroughly fumigated every night and all precautions are being taken against the spread of the disease.

GRIP SEASON IS HERE

Urbana Courier-Herald January 10, 1905

Good Time of the Year to be Careful of Health

The grip season is here. For the next few weeks it is expected that the number of cases of this kind will be a notable part of the practice ot every physician of the city.

One doctor said yesterday that the disease had some distinctive features this year which are slightly different from its manifestations at any other visitation. It is not expected to be so severe as in the first advent of the Influenza about l880.

The coming of the grip at the regular time in the winter should be a warning to people of all kinds against needless exposure, and a tip to take as good care of their health as possible. It is well known that the grip furnishes the groundwork for many a fatal aliment and the hold which the disease gains upon the individual depends largely upon the general tone of the system when the grip strikes the person. It is well, therefore, to take good care of the general health and try to keep the grip from gaining its first hold in the system. One theory lately advanced is that the increase of the number of cases of appendicitis is due to the prevalence of the grip.

Croupy Coughs and Wheezy Colds

Quincy Daily Whig December 19, 1912

The quickest, simplest way to rid the children of dangerous croupy coughs and wheezy stuffy colds is to give them Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. It gives almost instant relief and stops a cough promptly. It soothes and heals. Contains no opiates. I.L. Blomquist, Esdaile, Wis., says: "My wife considers Foley's Honey and Tar Compound the best cough cure and it gives the best results."

EVERYONE WILL BE CRAZY UNLESS CURE IS FOUND

Daily Illini October 30, 1929

Evanston , Oct. 30.— (United Press )
”In the training of psychiatrists in our universities that specialization, and intensive study may find a means to cure mental disorders lies the solution to an increase of insanity cases in Illinois”, Rodney I. Brandon , director of the state department of public welfare, declared before the Illinois conference of public welfare, here last night

“The percentage of insanity is increasing comparatively, in Illinois more rapidly than the population”, Brandon said, and if the present ratio continues to hold good it will only he a question of time until everyone will he subject to incarceration because of mental disorders.

"The war for cure and prevention of unsoundness of mind must be waged as it has never been waged before." Brandon said. "The fundamental difficulty is that, psychiatry has been looked upon as a mystery and has not been made a commonplace thing in life as has the practice of medicine."

Brandon pointed out that it was part of the program of the state welfare department to introduce interests into the state hospital service and try and to induce the universities to develop their psychiatric divisions.

"When psychiatrist's shingle becomes as common on the street as the eye, ear and nose and throat man's sign is now, the public will find out how to live so that- unsoundness of mind may be reduced to the minimum," He said.
