II Is said that the people Of the Flat
River district are not disposed to treat
seriously the fact that the erupliye dis.
ease in their midst Is smallpox, not
withstanding Il has been so declared
by several physicians who have had 4
good deal OF experience in treating
that malady. II they are wise, they
will not only take every precau.ion and
support the officers in enforcing the
quarantine regulations adopted by the
County Court, but those who have had
hat they have no doubt enormously
supposed to be chicken-po instead Of
yarioloid OF mild form Of small pox,
will disiniect theft houses and kill off
any germs that may exist in them and
their clothing. This may be easily
and eheaply done by burning sulphur
candles in the different rooms, closing
the windows aud doors, until they are
thoroughly fumigaied It will only
take few hours TO iumigale each
room, and II family has only one or
two rooms, the members Of the family !
could remain in the open ait this warm
weather while the sulphur Is burning
In the rooms. The fumes will pene-
trate every nook and corner aud de-
stroy any germs 10 the carpets, bed
ding, wearing apparel and walls. IL
the malady gefe not smallpox, this |
disinfeoiiug process would be wise
precaution, for il would destroy the
germs Of the disease, whatever il Is.
and render the houses more wholesome |
and heallhiul. II something of the
kind Is not done, and those who be.
come afflicted with the disease are not
isolated, bu, are permitted 10 60 about
az they please, there is no telling to
what extent il may spread. The NAL
ady Is in a mild form, but Il may as
sumo a yirulent character a. any time,
and II not stamped out before cold
weather those who are 50 careless aud
skeptical now may have cause to re-
greet it. As you value the life and
health Of your families, take no risks

EptToR TIaEs: have read the

which have appeared in the columns of
our local papers on smallpox as Il ex-
lists in Elvins. Very good communities

nothing convincing nor decisive as to
the disease, having no official or author
