    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1900 There are a number of diphtheria cases in this city, and while many of them are not severe, they should call for general care and caution from our people. Diptheic symptoms are evident in the epidemic of sore throats that is floating about and grave results may follow neglect. Those who are affected should at once consult their family physician. A little care at the proper time may avert the distress and graver consequence which follow neglect. There has been a number of large crowds in the city recently and it is thought the germs have in some cases been brought in. Recent discoveries in medical science have done something to relieve diphtheria of its horrors but it is a very dangerous disease nevertheless, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
