The report having been pretty extensively
circulated that have purposely concealed a
case of varioloid, deem it duty to myself
to make the following statement:
About two weeks ago, called and pre-
scribed for young woman-lving at Lewis
kauffer's-who complained of feverish symp.
toms, headache, etc. Was told that "she
caught cold while riding on the cars" Know
ing that small pox was raging in other places,
l asked her plainly if she had been exposed
to it. She answered in the negative, as plain
ly. She had no symptoms whatever, by
which any man could intimate whether or not
she had yarioloid. The following day she
was better, and continued to improve, as
was told in my Office few days after, Gun
til she was as well as ever" One week
ago last Tuesday, l was called to see Lewis
kauffer, and found him suffering with symp-
toms of common cold" for which l pre-
scribed. He had no eruption nor any symp-
toms which indicated that he had yarioloid
The next day he was more comfortable. Have
not been at, or in their house since. Fearing
that it might be case of varioloid, although
there were no symptoms of it, ordered them
to keep in the house and admit no company,
which they promised to do. gave the pub
lie the benefit of this discretionary measure to
prevent possible contagiAn. If have erred,
1t was in not informing the authorities of my
suspicious, for which did not at the time
think there were sufficient grounds. Ifeither
of them had the varioloid it must have been
before or since l visited them. 1 ask the
public to duly weigh this statement and judge
accordingly. j. L. BABCoCK, M. d.
