The child suffered the attack some six weeks ago.  Physicians urged the serum treatment to be given immediately, to this the parents did not consent.  This is the only death from the epidemic type of meningitis reported in the county this year.

The small child of Joe Slone which had an attack of the disease several weeks ago has responded to the serum treatment and is now able to stand alone.  Physicians deem it probable that the child will gradually regain full use of its limbs.
