Editor The Argus: Referring to tho report in your issue of Dec. 13, con cerning the death from scarlet fever of Miss Vera Heinly, investigation dis closes the fact that there is no basis whatever for the charge of neglect or irregularity in the treatment of the case. The ruies of the board of health were complied with and the ca3e was reported by the practitioner as soon as symptoms of contagion developed. The following from the New York Ameri can of Dec. 9 gives substantially the facts in the case: "Frank Stayton Thompson, a trustee of Second Church of Christ, Scientist, who lives at 106 Central l'ark "West, appeared before the board of health yesterday to give them a few facts about the illness of Miss Vera Heinly, who died of scarlet fever in the Mln turn hospital on Sunday. She had been attended by Mr. Thompson prior to her removal to the hospital in the Ho tel St. Andrew, Broadway and Seventy-second street. "Comprising the board of health were Commissioner Darlington. , Dr. Doty, Dr. Bensel and Police Commis sioner Baker. There were also pres ent Dr. Herman Biggs, of the contagi ous diseases department, and George A. Foulk, attorney for the health de- ,artment. Reporters were excluded. "After the conference had lasted twt hours. Dr. Darlington stated that the board was satisfied that the pro visions of the sanitary code" had been complied with and that there was no j occasion for the coroner to handle the case. " 'As soon as Mr. Thompson noticed a rash on Miss Heinly's face,' said the health commissioner, 'lie called in a regular practitioner. Dr. F. II. Ranney, of 220 West One Hundred and Sev enth street, and we were notified i-.t once that it was a case of scarlet fev er.' " Very truly yours, GEORUB SHAW COOK.
