this fall his detection will not mean the detection
of any considerable number Of his fellow Tam
manyites The Courier would do well to read the
future by tho light of the past. Did Tammany

Whether this is not 1t is fact not generally
known that person inoculated with the smallpox
can give the disease to others. Hence the rapid
success of vaccination when first introduced as
substitute for the more dangerous preventive. The
Board of Health in Bethlehem made prompt and
strict investigation to the condition of the per-

number only one had been vaccinated, and he not
since childhood. Free vaccination was urged upon
the inhabitants of the town, and in consequence the
disease which broke out with such fury was
