Influenza Closing Orders To Be Lifted Tuesday Night

• The closing orders will be lifted 7 pm Tuesday as announced by Hamilton today at noon, after receiving the recommendation of Roby; Roby’s recommendation is said to be based on the steady decrease in cases and deaths throughout the week• The closing orders, when lifted on Tuesday, will have been in effect for 4 weeks• In a monthly health report submitted to Hamilton, quoted by the Times-Union, Roby concluded that influenza is so widespread that anything like quarantine is useless, that the control of typhoid and smallpox, similar, easily communicable diseases, has been done only through vaccination and that he believes that the vaccine made by Dr. William H. Park and produced by the city ought to be the best to use for influenza; he also concludes that the biggest problem lies in cutting down the mortality rate from pneumonia, that subcutaneous vaccines can do no harm but may do good, while intravenous treatment is often “brilliant” but severe, and that treatment of pneumonia cases should be determined by individual physicians, as some cases have a tendency to spontaneously recover• A formal order lifting the closing orders will be made public MondayNewspaper article
