Dr. L.J. Smith Says Wilson Comparatively Healthy, Nov. 29, 1918

From The Wilson Daily Times, Nov. 29, 1918

The Town Comparatively Healthy

There are four cases of influenza in the city and one of diphtheria, according to Dr. L.J. Smith, health officer of this city.

He says that while there are a few cases of influenza in town it behooves us to be careful as cold weather makes the disease more troublesome and harder to cure.

The presence of one case of diphtheria is a warning to our people. There are a number of cases in almost every town in the country and Wilson had been free from it. Children should not be allowed to go to school with sore throats.

The four cases of influenza in the city are at Mr. Watkins, and Mrs. S.B. Rierson and son. We hope for their speedy recovery.
