-enumerator remarks for Union Prairie township:
"A Scarlet Fever Epidemic prevailed in this and the adjoining district of Ludlow, originating i the latter in the month of September 1879 and continuing to prevail with more or less severity till may of this year when it entirely disappeared. The cause and propogation of this outbreak was undoubtedly due to climatic influence; and in the earlier stages of its progress, its graver features were in many instances, undoubtedly, much aggravated by improper medical treatment; such at least, is the opinion of Dr. J.P. Mattoon, one of th emost experienced and successful physicians in Northern Iowa, and from whom this view of the subject was obtained. One very marked and peculiar feature of this Epidemic was; its ravages were almost exclusively confined to the German and Scandinavian population."

"Not convienent to see Dr. Barnes; Dr. Rowe has left the country. Report of cases was 4 and 9 confirmed by Dr. Mattoon who also attended them."
