Health Service at Purdue University. 61 
scarlet fever five cases, small pox 4 cases, diphtheria 2 cases, chicken pox 
1 case, mumps 25 cases, and measles 2 cases. This list, of course, does not 
include the relatively enormous number of cases of bronchitis, coryza and 
evip which some called influenza. That the student body availed itself of 
the advantages of the dispensary service is indicated by the fact that of the 
2.730 students, who were eligible to the service, 1,249 took advantage of it. 
These 1,249 presented themselves to the office of the University physician 
1.980 different times with (for them) different illnesses. For some of these 
illnesses many calls at the office were necessary so that the total number of 
office consultations or treatments, given by the University physician during 
the school year, was probably in excess of 5,000. The number of prescrip- 
tions filled by the Pharmacy Department was 3,600. In addition to the 
above figures 1,100 excuses were written for the Military Department.
