Telegram from Montreal
There is no abatement in the small pox
epidemic here yet, but there are hopes that
the new measures coming into operation of
compelling all to be vaccinated and those
suffering from the disease to be isolated,
will lessen the mortality. The daily deaths
in city and suburbs last week averaged
forty five. There are 1870 patients under
treatment in the civic hospital. The
greatest energy on the part of the
health authorities, both provincial and city,
is being employed, with the assistance
of leading merchants and clergy of all de-
nominations, to get the malady under con-
troll. The sanitary laws passed by Par
lament for combating the epidemic, and
which give arbitrary powers to the Board of
Health, have been invoked, and special Sti-
pendiary Magistrates are to sit daily to en-
force the rules submitted by the local board
for stamping out.the scourge. Alarge force
of doctors employed by the Health Board
willcommence systematic vaccination from
house to house all over the city on Monday,
and all who refuse viii be brought before
the Magistrates and fined.
