Aid for Smallpox Sufferers.

Editor New Mexican: The city and
county have done the very best they can
to establish hospital where the in
digent smallpox sufferers can be taken
care of. The house to be used for that
purpose and which is now being fitted
up, is located at suitable distance from
the city, and the man who has been
placed in charge is capable and will
care for all patients placed in his charge
in a careful and humane manner, and
he should be we'll paid for his work. As
is well known the city and county are
not financially able to pay all the ex-
penses of this work, and suggest that
the merchants and other business men
of the Santa Fe aid in providing for
those unfortunate ones who may be sent
to the smallpox hospital l have al
ready contributed $40 and am willing
to pay that amount every month until
the disease has been stamped out, Who
will aid by giving what they are able?
