Has Elizabeth City
Got a Flu Epidemic? Doctors Disagree, and When Doctors Disagree There Is Hope
for Any Patient
Has Elizabeth City an epidemic of influenza? City Health
Officer Dr. Wm. A. Peters thinks so. Some doctors agree with him; some don’t
Dr. Isaiah Fearing says there is no Flu, that Elizabeth City has its perennial epidemic
of bad colds; that conditions are not worse here than they have been any time
in 24 years.
Dr. Claude Williams says: “What the h—l does Ike Fearing
know about it. He stays down around Weeksville and hasn’t enough town practice
to know.”
In the meantime the Board of Aldermen has taken no steps to
put the ban on public gatherings, not being convinced that there is as yet any
occasion for unusual alarm.
