Detecting the Pres enee Of Sinai, Pox.

DR.. Robert B. McNary of ST. Louis has
told the Globe Democrat that the follow
ing plan is "infallible" in detecting the
presence of small pox. The feeling Of
tiredness and pain in the back are almost
universal and prominent symptoms, but
the one thing that distinguishes smallpox
from every other is the hardness, of the
eruption. By pressing and passing the
hand over the forehead or legs the
feeling is exactly that which would be
caused by medium siz ID shot being buried
under the skin, and the severity Of the dis
ease may certainly be known by the num-
ber or thickness OF these shot. like bunpa. I.
