The number of cases recently devel-

the fact that the disease has seemed to
take its course from the West eastward
tends to confirm this view. 1t is hard to

showing that the area Of contagion has
a wide range.
THE disease is always CONTAGIOUS. that
Is to say, 1T cannot be spread except
through contact with diseased persons or
with clothing or other materials In which
the germs are lodged. I remember one
epidemic which proved fatal to many
persons, which started through the sell
ing to Indians of blankets used in a
smallpox case, which had not been disin-
fected. Letters sent from place where
the disease is prevalent often carry
germs, unless first sterilized or subjected
| to proper disinfecting measures.
Several well defined stages appear In
the progress of smallpox cases. First
| must come contact with the germs, after
which follows what is known as the
incubation period, lasting from nine to
thirteen days; in which the germs de-
velop. Then come what are known as
the prodromial symptoms, resembling the
first indications Of grippe. The patient
at this stage suffers from headaches, fe-
yer and very severe backaches. This stage
is followed by the appearance of papules,
hard, granny spots on the wrists and
forehead. These finally develop into pus-
tules filled with fluid, and, In the last
