PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE

The mayors proclamation, which we
print in another column, is timely, and
should be read and needed. There are
no cases of smallpox in Lexington or
its suburbs at present, but 1t prevails In
several cities and towns around US, and
it Is one OF those occasions when an
ounce o preventive Is worth q pound Of
cure.
Everybody who has not been recently
vaccinated should submit to the oompar-
atively trIling ~ipcoovenience which it
causes. Especially should every pre-
caution be taken as to the schools. Al
ready in many cities in the esst schools
have been closed by the disease. but
with intelligent precautions VI see no
reason whatever for any alarm here.
The school board and tue president OF
the semlDaries should require all their
pupils and servants to be vaccinated.
W. hope no caPtious opposition viii. be
made to this wise precaution as an inva-
sion OF personal liberty. Nothing ofthe
kind is designed; but vaccination has
come to be so generally recognized as =
preventive of small pox that it seems
but doing justice to the whole number
of pupils to mako this requirement of
the individuals. Ofcourse persons who
have been recently successfully vaccin.
ated need not be re-vacciuated, but the
abundance of p%escautlon in vaccin-
atisn and re-vaccination can do no harm.
Another preventive Of the disease is
cleanliness of person and Surround
ings. Persons should be careful to
bathe once or twice a week. rubbing the
body thoroughly with u coarse towel. but
always being careful to avoid taking
cold. Back yards, alleys and streets
should be looked after. and if there is
any garbage lying about it should be
carted off or burned. In fine, all santa
~ %precautiors which suggest themselves
to people of intelligence should be taken;
and the city should soc that they are not
neglected in those respects OF which it
can take c~ognizancs.
Smallpox is indeed a dread disease.
but much of the terror with which it was
once regarded has been banished by
Jenner's fortunate discovery. It 10 a
disease which recurs periodically is
highly contagious, and which. in conse-
quence, follows railroads and other ar-

where filth and lack of ventilation are
found. A clean skin. fresh clothes, u
stomach never overloaded, and able to /
perform its functions freely, and plenty

many enemies to smallpox. 1t is emil
neatly a winter disease, and rarely, if
ever, prevails to an alarming extent in
warm weather; SO that. if we take prop
er precautions for the remaining month
