The Smallpox Record
From the Daily Item, May 81.

In yesterday's Issue certain statements in

that were not exactly correct, being based on
inaccurate information.
the smallpox hospital, ", 9 called up over tie

smailpox record was obtained Toe truth is so
much more encouraging and satisfactory than

many false aud misleading teports that are

The coodition is -ery encouraging and the

bsseless. The measures adopted by lht
