Small pOX.

The appearance of Small Pox in
many places in our state and the con-
tinned spread of the disease where it
has found foothold, calls for word
of warning and advise from those who
have been constituted the guardians of
the Public Health.
The average yearly death rate from
Small Pox in Wisconsin is somewhat
over one hundred, while the average
number Of cases annually exceeds four
hundred. Already a0ithin the last three
months, these numbers have been ex-
ceeded and unless vigorous measures
are adopted aid great vigilance OBJ
served it will exact a much larger tri-
butte Of human life
The experience of Wisconsin in this
respect is not exceptional. This loath-
some and very fatal disease is visiting
other localities to such an extent that
those who have watched its progress,
greatly fear wide spread epidemic of
it during the coming winter months.
To be forewarned should be to be
forearmed.
SMALL PoX IS PERMANENTLY A
PREvENTABLE DISEASE. 1t is pre-
yentable because we possess the means
by which we may reasonably expect to
keep it from our homes, ard from our
community 1t never visits either, ex-
cept as those means known to be able
to prevent it have been neglected.
We urge upon the citizens of Wis
consin, upon the constituted authori-
ties of every township, village, or city
within its borders, and especially upon
physicians, to institute such measures
as will serve to stay the progress of
the disease.
The measures to be instituted are
VACCINATION AND REvACCINATIoN.
The undersigned have unqualified
confidence in the protective power of
thorough vaccination, believing that 1t
can render to all persons, perfect pro
ssc ton against any form of variolous
disease but to secure this protection
three conditions must be carefully OBJ
served
1st The virus used must be pure
and vigorous.
End. The operation must be skill
fully and properly performed.
quently praetieed to test the returning
Susceptibility of the system to the
Small Pox Contagion.
By strict and universal observ-
ance of these rules we believe that
Small Pox might be stamped out of
existence To neglect such rules is
to endanger not only the life of him
who neg lects them but also the lives
of those with whom he associates.
We believe there is no valid excuse
fpr such neglect.
With regard to re-yaccination the
facts are, that a certain number of
persons are protected for life by one
vaccination, while the protection of
others extends to but limited and
variable period. Hence as we are
without the power to distinguish be-
tween these classes, revaccination is as
essential as primary operation and
should be performed at least every five
years. 1t should also be performed at
every season of an epidemit diffusion
of the diseaee.
Should Small Pox unfortunately ap.
bear IN any community we earnestly
recommend the adoption of the follow
ing rules

Thoroughly isolate erery case that
may occur, and ksep it SO isolated un-
til all danger that the disease can be
communicated is past If the patients
be kept In private heuse. 1t is better
that the uppermost rooms of the house
be used for the purpose--eyery person
IL the vicinity should be at once vac
cinated without regard to ony previous
operation.
DISTINCTION.
At the close of the disease articles
which can be so treated should be dis
infected by being subjected to the &C
ton of boilingwater, or be baked in
an oven at temperature of not less
than 90 degrees. Heat effectually
destroys the poison germ Such arti-
cles as cannot be so treated should re-
main in the room and be subjected to
sULPHURoUs FUMIGATIoN
which is effected by placing about
three pounds of Sulphur in a safe and
convenient vessel in the room with the
doors, windows and chimney fues clos
ed and ignite it. The room should re-
main closed ten or twelve hours.
Ventilation and painting the
wood work, whitewashing and repair
ing the walls, will complete the process
and fit the rooms for re-ha bitation.

be given the elective franchise who
has not the intelligence to use it prop
erly. The rogue should not have it,
for government is made to punish him;
the fool should not have it, for govern
ment is made to take care Of him.
Now, these miserable wretches-the
Yankees-have injected 5000, 600 oil
savages into the stomachs of our body

cepts negro suffrage, | say aecursed be
he! (Cheers. II don't want represen-
tation based on population alone. We
never before had it so in Georgia. Ii

territory, and if you have a convention
can make you constitution-by which
the people will rule and the niger

Why, they can't perpetuate their own
negro power In the counties where
they were in the majority, they did
preserve their power and perpetuate
their rule. My remedy helped US to
break that up We carried them with
us by bribery and intimidation l ad-

This passage expresses the true in
