SHOCKING CASE OF DISEASE AND DIS

says that DR.. Jones health officer, Of
Brooklyn, on Monday found a family in
a miserable hut, almost destitute Of fur
niture, under the following circum-
stances; -.-. - t
"Lying upon bed in a most filthy
apartment was man who for four years
had been confined helpless to the house
by rheumatism. In the bed with him
were two children, both sick with the
small pox. In an adjoining apartment,
but little better than dark closet, lay
two more children, respectively eight
and ten years of age, both suffering the
ravages of small pox. ct
The name of this family is Smith, and
the only means of subsistence which
they had was what could be earned by
the wife and mother going out to
days works, the family being left alone
in their horrible condition during the
day time.
When rendered assistance the man
protested against being removed to the
hospital. The family, however, were all
properly provided for. .,
