A HEREDITARY FRIGHT.

st. Paul has had another scare and got
over it. negro sleeping-car porter came
home and down with the smallpox He
generously shared his disease with sew
eral of his associates. The facts were
printed by the papers. Then began Il
scare that, had it not been SO real, and
had it not been attended with the trans
fer of so many good dollars from pockets
that needed them to others that needed
them less, would be positively ludicrous
Rumor, the old busybody, Immediately
set her tongue wagging al furious rate
She said they said there We're cases of
smallpox all over the city; In residences
in flats, and that the doctors were conniv-
ing with patients to have the facts sup
pressed. Mysterious hints were thrown
out that the hospitals were treating cases
privately and secretly. And the school
board caught the panic and forthwith
decreed that no child should be allowed
to enter school next Monday who had not
been vaccinated within five years.
To what can this timidity be ascribed? :?
1t is not because of the fatality of the
yields readily. 81 would far rather my
child should have the smallpox than the
diphtheria,' is the judgment of one of the
best medical men of the city. Vaccina
ton has been so universal that the cases
where the disease becomes anything more
virulent than varioloid are very rare. 1t
is not as infectious as scarlet fever diph-
iberia or any other contagious disease.
Then why is it that a city of a hundred
and fifty thousand people had nervous
fits when a single case of smallpox broke
out, and when, as a matter of fact as
Health Commissioner Ohage assures us,
there were but seven cases in all, and no
deaths among them?
1t can be due to nothing but the tenac-
ity with which events that have made
deep impressions upon the consciousness
of our ancestors maintain their hold upon
their descendants, forming part of their
subconscious selves, responding automat-
son and will The horrors OF this disease
even two generations ago, cannot be con-
celVed by those who have had experience
with the disease in recent years. The
treatment was barbarous, both PATHOLOGY
cally and therapeutically, while the nurs-
ing and care. where the maiady became
epidemic, was almost wholly wanting
Patients were either hustled off to a
pest house-the very name indicates the
horror of the disease-or, frequently de-
serted, We're left to take care of them
selves as best they might. Fifty wears
ago the SCARED and pitted faces of sur
vivors were frequently met with All this
is changed. The treatment, the care. the
precautions taken and the preventives
used have robbed the disease, whose ap-
pearance in community fifty years ago
spread universal panic of It's virulence. it's
loathsomeness and its fatalsm, but the
dread runs in the blood of the descend
ants and they tremble before its advent
with a fear as real as that for when
their forbears had SO good cause. 1t
VIII take several generations to wear off
the impressions of heredity.
