SATURDAY APRIL Is, 1896.

The all-absorbing topic for the
psst few weeks has been on small
box, and for the benefit of our
readers We copy the following
from the Baton Rouge Truth:
"Some questions propounded by
Truth to DR.. j. w. Dupre, our
health officer, and their answers.
Il has been established that
smallpox can be prevented or mo-
di6ed by vaccination. 1t is be-
lieved that its spread is due to
ignorance of or Indifference to the
protective influence of vaccina-
ton. Because unmoditied small
box is SO deadly a disease, and so
often disfgures and enfeebles
those who recover, and because
by travelling, or by travellers, by
articles received in the mail or
from stores or shops or in various
other ways one may at any time
without knowing it be exposed to
smallpox, 1t becomes important so
far Is possible without injury to
health TO render every person in
capable of taking the disease.
This may be done so perfectly by
vaccination with genuine vaccine
virus that no question of expense
or trouble should he allowed for a
day to prevent the careful vacci-
nation of every man, woman and
child in Baton Rouge, and the re-
vaccination of every one who has
hot been vaccinated within five
years. It is we'll established that
those who have been properly vac
cinated are far less likely to take
small po1 If exposed to 1t, and
that the very few who have been
properly vaccinated and have
smallpox have it in a much mil
def form and are much less dis
figured by it than those who have
not been thus vaccinated.
Who should be vaccinated
Everybody old and young, for his
own interest and that he may not
become a breeding place for the
distribution of the disease tc
others, should seek that protec.
ton from smallpox which is af.
forded by vaccination alone. II
10 believed that all persons except
those mentioned in the following
paragraph may, If the operation
IL properly performed, at the pro
per time and with pure bovine vi.
rus be vaccinated with petfec
safety to themselves. Even those
who have had smallpox should be
vaccinated, for otherwise they ma,
take the disease, and it seems t.

of those who have smallpox a Sc.
cond time die than of those who
have the disease after vaccination

persons suffering with measles
scarlet fever, erysipelas or suscep

fering with skin disease or erup

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story Of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, in the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn rnodesty seals theiflips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has

relief lies in the exposure Of examine

Take ten cases of "female weakness"

than vaccination. Smallpox is ex-
ceedingly dangerous to pregnant
women.
When should a person be vacci-
mated? The sooner the better, as
a rule, and especially whenever
there is much liability of expo
sure to smallpox. Children should
be vaccinated before they are four
months old. Those who have ne
yer been vaccinated should, with
the exceptions previously made,
be vaccinated at once because the
vaccination often loses its protec-
tive influence after a time, those
who have been vaccinated but
once or twice should, in order to
test and to increase the protective
power of the former vaccination.
be vaccinated again, and 30 often
as the vaccination can be made to
work. For the first three or four
scars the protection afforded is
believed to be somewhat in pro-
portion to the number of good
scars, conditioned always that the
scars be the result of proper
vaccination with genuine bovine
vaccine virus. In general to in
sure the maximum of protection
from smallpox, one should be vac
ciaated every five years. 1t has
been found that those who have
had smallpox the protection of
deaths is very much less with
those who have two or three good
vaccine scars than among those
who have but one. Vaccination
as late as the second day after
known exposure to smallpox is be-
lieved to have prevented the small
pox. Vaccination the third day
after exposure has rendered the
| disease much milder than the
usual.
With what should one be vscci-
mated? With pure bovine lymph,
% Because by its use absolute
freedom from liability to syhilitic
infection is assured, for the bo-
vine species is insuscepti BILE to
this. (2) Bovine virus is far
more effective than the humani-
zed in vaccination. 81 By its
use a more perfect or typical de-
velopment of the vaccine disease is
secured and inferentially a grea-
ter protection from smallpox. "a
Great care can be taken in the
propagation of bovine virus and
there need not occur a vaccine ia
mine, for the supply may always
be equal TO the demand. (5) II
is believed that the vaccinoid OF
fermentation when this virus is
used is greater in protective pow
or than that of the variolod OF
variola.
By whom should one be vacci.
mated? A we'll educated and ex.
perienced physician, or one whom
he has instructed and recommen
ded. 1t is poor economy to try
to vaccinate oneself or ones fami
ly since it is frequently not only
a waste of money and of time, but
begets a feeling of false and dan
gerous security. A we'll educated
and experienced physician has th'
skill and special knowledge ne
cessary to the best judgment OF
all of the questions involved, with
out which the operation may be
failure or worse than a failure.

sp-Eng from the recent growth Of the
French infanterip de marine and colo
NAL army. The result Of the change
would be to put the military control OF

Considerable apprehension has been
excited among BOstonianS of Il certain
sort by the persistence of rumors about
Il plan for combining the city's liquor
saloons to a prescribed territory outside
of the residential districts. Nobody
seems to know just how or why or by
whom this scheme is to be carried out,
but as Boston has few or no districts
in which very considerable numbers
Of people do not live, those for whom
Il convenient saloon is regarded as a
necessary condition of existence, show
an angry irritation that such u project
should have advanced far enough even
to have become a topic of conversation.
