The Smallpox.

PHILADELPHIA, October A.-The
exaggerated reports Of the prevalence OF
smallpox in this city have drawn out
a semi-official report from the Board OF
Health. The total number of cases
during three weeks in October was 642,
and during the same time the deaths
numbered l52. During the first three
days of last week the cases reported
numbered 25S, and in the last three
days l5S, showing that the disease was
decreasing. The contagion has its
firmest hold in the Second ward, where
35l cases have occurred. This ward is
in a good sanitary condition, and the
prevalence Of the disease is attributed to
the fact that the houses are built on
made ground, which renders them damp
and accelerates the disease In the
Fourth ward, which composes the filth
lest part OF the city. only thirty-three
cases have occurred. The doctors re-
port that those persons who, not being
vaccinated, are attacked by the disease,
almost Immediately die OF it. Thous.
ands are vaccinated daily, and the
vaccine physicians have constant en-
ployment.
