"Devil's Grip" Spreading
WITH health boards of the State of Virginia exercising the utmost vigilance in an effort to check the spread of the fatal malady know as "devil's grip," which is sweeping Virginia and which has appeared in Delaware and other parts of the country, new cases continued to be reported to the authorities. Chief Health Officer Hudson, of the Richmond health bureau, was appraised of three new cases recently, bringing the total thus far in Richmond alone to forty-eight.
Dr. Hudson said that as the malady had not been made reportable by the city or the state health boards, there are probably some case that have not been brought to the attention of the state health commissioner.
