The following circular letter was
issued from the Office of the secretary
of the Wisconsin state board of health,
at Appleton, under date of Feb. %:
This Board has very recently received
official notice of the occurrence of
cases of Small POX in nearly all the
states contiguous to Wisconsin, and
has also information, official and other,
of the existence of that disease in
various parts of the United States. In
California it has become so prevalent
that it has been declared epidemic by
the Board of Health of that state.
AS this disease may be contracted
in one state and develop in one far dis
tant therefrom, these facts are emin-
emily suggestive of danger to us in
Wisconsin, and they are furnished for
the information of Local Health Boards
in this state with the earnest sugges-
ton that such Boards should be care
fully on their guard, and should watch
with vigilance during the ordinary
period of incubation of Small Pox
usually about fourteen days., lest it
develop in the persons who may reach
their respective communities from
abroad or after travel. 1t is further
suggested that Health Boards every
where urge upon all within their juris-
diction the advantages and protection
to be derived from vaccination.
Circulars printed in English, German
or Norwegian, relating to the proven
ton or restriction of either Small PoX,
Diphtheria or Scarlet Fever NAV be had
