Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1886-02-07

There are perhaps Eve TO ten cases o
smallpox In Fort Worth, and there ha'
been one death. Some people are scared
| about Il. There Ia one, and only one
almost certain remedy, or rather pre-
ventiyc, and that Is to get vacclnatcd al
once. It don't make any difference how
many times you have been vaccinated, 81
Z when you were vaccinated last; get
yacciuated again Persons who pursue
| this course are almost sure 10 escape
| Smallpox exists in New York, Philadel.
/ phia, Chicago, 81. Louis, etc, ETC., all
Z the time, being worse In February and
( March than In any other months When
| there Is good deal Of Il everybody gets
yaccinated and that Is the end OF IL so far
as they are concerned. Tho unfortunate
victims are the careless and the ignorant,
who do not, or will not, take the pre-
vcntiyc Of vaccination. For ten years
before the writer came 70 Fort Worth he
had In his employ one hundred
and twenty-five men, Every time
small-pox came 10 81. Louis TO the ex-
tent Of fifty cases In the city, he sent
for doctor, and had the whole store
yaccinated, and during all this time there
was but one case OF smallpox In his
store, that was a German porter. When
the men were being vaccinated this Ger
man porter begged of, because he had o
few years before been soldier in the
Union army, WAS taken sick, when he
recovered was not strong enough 10 40
into the field and was vaccinated and
pldced as a nurse in smallpox hospital,
where he had remained for six months,
and he thought he knew more about
smallpox than all the doctors IN the
world. He was excused from yaccina-
tion, and Two weeks afterwards had Che
smallpox. After two weeks with the
smallpox, ne came back 10 the store
with his face al spo ted up, and said che
iink he knew smallpox pretty good, hut
he know II good now The spots soon
left his face, but after that, when doc
tor came TO yacclnate the store, our Ger
nan porter was the first 10 take off his
,oat.
Upon Monday, February 8, and each
lay thereafter, we will continue our great
'ale OF the Ingram & Co stock, more or
ess damaged by fire and water. We
iavs plenty Of genuine bargains still re-
naming. In few days we shall receive |
1000 yards OF dress silk, which, being |
tained by water, were sent 10y us to Il I
French dyer In the East. He /
writes us they will be as good aud look as /
rood as ever. We shall sell them for (
bout one-hali price.
There Is no more sense In being scared /
bout smallpox than there is in being
cared about ghosts. There are no ghosts,
md II you will keep yourself well vac.
.inated there viii not be any smallpox,
% far as you are concerned. More PEG.
lie get on and of the cars at Fort Worth |
han at any two towns in Texas. More
Deople 90 in and out of the Chase Trad |
ng Co. than any other store in Fort /
Worth. And why do they come to
'hase's? Answer; Because they are
atisned that they can buy goods
heap at Chase's, and it is easier TO 20
light there and geta bargain than 1t is to
e running into all the stores in town,
nd having at last TO come to Chase's.
