The fact that smallpox exists at Sew
cry and may be brought to Emporia
any day should admonish our citizens
to take every possible precaution against
this dreadful scourge, which Is of a
more than usually fatal type this year.
There is no doubt but that vaccination
is great protection against this disease
and we would advise all who have not
already been vaccinated to attend to this
duty at once. In view of the possibility
of the contagion reaching this city, we
would also suggest the prompt provision
of a pest house or suitable quarters
where persons could be taken and prop
erIy cared for should the necessity arise.
We do not desire to occasion needless
alarm, but we deem the measures we
have suggested only the part of prudence
under all the circumstances.
