HEED THE WARNING.

The necessity of taking every pre-
caution and exercising every practical
means at hands to prevent the spread
of the Infectious or contagious disease
now in some sections of this county
should be apparent to every indivi-
dual capable of approaching the well
fare of the community. A majority
of the physicians pronounce it small
pox, while others are equally firm in
the belief that 1t is not. Let the dis
custom go Oh, If necessary, but in the
mean time the sensible thing to do is
to make every eftrt to prevent the
spread or the disease no matter by
what name we may be disposed to
designate it. 1t is not a pleasant
thing to have in the community, nor
a reassuripg personal companion. 1t
seems to let some of the victims of
with slick and promise while lis
dealings with others are of decided
ly serious nature. Now no matter
whether you believe with the doctors,
or whether you be a skeptic, if you
are sensible man with any of the
milk of human kindness about you,
you don't want the disease yourself,
you do not want it in your own fam
lily, ami you do not want it in your
nighbor's family. Therefore do not
aid nor abet its spread by any sin ct
commission or omission. either would
be sin against the welfare Of the
neIghborhood. If you know it is not
the smallpox, and if you are so brave
that you laugh to scOrn any fear OF it
remember there are those who think
it is the smallpox and those who are
afraid of it, and in a matter Of this
kind, if not in all things, we should
respect the feelings of Others. There
should be no necessity for law to make
US observe such common, plain, every
day amenities Cf life ss this, but,
through fear that there might be some
thoughtless or hesrtless persons in
community, law was made and is
on the books now prohibiting people
from doing things that might spread
any infectious or contagious diseases,
not smallpox only, but any infectious
or contagious disease, and people who
break that law are as ameniable to
the courts as those who break the
peace or carry pistol. Now no mat
ter whether this is mallpox, or chick
en- pox, or both or neither, it is plain
that it can be transmitted from one
pe.son to another, and it remains to
observe the common amenities of life,
or failing to do this to enforce the law
and reduce the chances of spreading
it to the minimum.
