If small pox In the city and county
small po1 hospital. The order iniicting
a heavy penalty on physicians not re.
porting cases, has had the enect OF
bringing out several that might other
wise have been reported us varioloid.
Il is pretty we'll authenticated that small
pox Is O contagious disease, commnni.
Gated only by contact. It is not an In
fictitious disease, as has been demon
strated by experience during the late
war, where small pox broke out in regi.
ments stationed in a city, and was con.
fined to the barracks, and even to a
company, by keeping the patients sepa-
rate and apart from the garrison. The
Health Officer is doing his duty thor.
oughly, and has already yaccinated
eighty.four persons since Thursday last.
Small pox commits its terrible rayages
when it gets thoroughly among those Of
slovenly habits, and where people are
crowded closely together in tenement
houses or cellars.
