PerDonaa EdperiencN In Small
ROx-H0w 70 Prevent Pit
ting.
We zee q ngmber Of recipe
going the rounds of the press
to prevent pitting in small, l,pox
and as that disease is now pre-
vailing In many adjoining cit
les and may visit US at any mo-
ment, We submit our own ex-
perieuce.
In January, 1854, while
"home on veteran furlough," al
Indianapolis, we had a severe
attack of varioloid. Following
the advice Of a good friend,
Mrs, Wacauley, mother of Man.
ager Nacauley, of Woods The
atre, Cincinnati, We kept the
scabs picked of, never allow
ing one to become hard, and
the sores painted with iodine.
We at first protested against
such a procedure, being con-
trary to all tradition on the
subject; but knowing that Mrs.
n who had had the disease
when a child, prompted by
Kindness, and knowing The
horror which most people have
Of the disease and that many
suffer for went of proper atten-
ton had, perhaps more expe-
rience with smallpox than
any physician IN, the country
we submitted, and have had no
canse to regret itAE
We were the more readily
induced 10 adopt this mode Of
treatment when directed to
raise up one of the leabs and
examine it. Doing so we
found under 1t alshall hole
sunk in the flesh and filed
with matter. This matter is
constantly forming during the
progress of the disease, and it
took no argument to induce US
to believe that if we allowed
the scabs to become hard and
firm, that the matter would
force itself down into the flesh
still farther and leave a mark,
while II nothing pressed it
down the tendency would be
to rise up 10 the natural level
of the flesh, leaving no pit or
mark.
Now, a word as to the disease
itself. If you have been vac,
cinnated properly it is not to
be dreaded more than any
other disease. The sores are
uncomfortable, and it is uno
pleasnt to be coOped up in the
house, and the neighbors
afraid of you; but for pain or
suffering, ,toothache or headache
are more to be dreaded. With.
out vaccination, from what we
have seen, we should judge the
disease was perhaps the most
terrible to which the human
family is heir. Against this
form of the disease you may
readily arm yourself, and it is
matter whlch-in view of our
neutrality-suspicious. not be
neglected for a day.
