(continued from page 1)
when they arrived and a baby
died 3 hours later Dr Chapman
left Thursday and then returned
on a second trip made by the
Navy.
A school room was pressed in
to service as a dispensary and
medication was begun. Nurse
Ourtis said everyone in the vil
lage had a cough and those ill
complained of sore throats. Vil
lagers pitched in to help at the
dispensary, carrying fuel and
women aided in the work. Four
of the worse cases were moved
to the dispensary.
■ The 17th, the day after arriv
' al of aid, seemed to be the worse
day, and Nurse Gurtis’ records
show that l&aeutoly ill and 20
'in the convalescent stage were
treated during her stay.
Penicillin shots were begun
and during the entire time 15
million units were used. From
Wednesday to the following
Sunday Nurse Curtis’ alarm was
set for every 3 hours and at
those intervals she gave 16 per
sons shots in a round of 7 houses.
As the response to treatment
became evident the word spread
and a steady stream o villagers
appealed at the school to volun
tarily seek the shots. By last
Wednesday the epidemic was
halted and everything done I hat
was possible so Nurse Curtis re
turned that, day on the Navy
plane.
A young boy, Simeon Alvedof,
who was left alone whan his
grandmother died in the epidem
ic, was brought to Kodiak by
Nurse Curtis for further care
and X-rays.
