Daniel Drake Carter papers, 1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/13090103

These papers consist of reports by physicians in Fayette, Woodford, and Scott counties, Kentucky, on the scarlet fever epidemic of 1876-79. Among the kinds of information included are number of cases treated; name, age, sex, race and counties of residence of patients; description of symptoms, including date of outbreak and length of illness; treatment prescribed; effects of treatment; and number of deaths resulting from the illness. Treatments attempted included use of emetics, bathing of the skin with whiskey and water, the application of poultices of flax and meal, and the use of belladonna and calomel as preventatives. The most beneficial results seem to have been obtained through the prescribing of fresh air, cleanliness, and good diet.
