few minutes later when they returned TO
their pAriors, they found them occupied By
upward Of LOO Of their practitioners, while By
some slight-of -hnnd additions to the contents
Of the rooms had been made in the shape Of
a silver tea service Of six pieces, a set Of fruit
knives and uut-picts, a sofa easy chair and

The reported appearances Of A case OF
smallpox in this vicinity, although vel cut
side the village limits. and in a very isolated
place has had one good effect for the cnmmu-
nifty II general, f not for the doctors IN par
ticular. It has caused a yrent many people
to attend TO the grossly neglected matter Of
vaccination. The eight or nine practising
physicians in this village report chat they
have vaccinatsd from . to t5G persons each,
during the past week. Il ia within bounds
% say that between 500 and 1000 persons in
this town have been vacciunated since Inst
Friday, and the surprising fact is that very
many Of these persons had never been VIC
cinated previously. Not a few adult persons
have been found who had never been vac
cinnted. and many families Of children. This
fact Illustrates the reason why smallpox is
yearly becoming more prevalent in the coun-
Try. Twenty years ago the diHenHe could
gain no fouthold, because everybody had
been vaccinated, but years Of immunity have
bred great carelesgness on the part Of the
people and al unvaccinatsd generation has
grown up. It ia time a new Leaf was turned
