Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1899-06-09
PURE

Wednesday morning, June 18th the
Editor paid a visit to the quarantined
families of Mrs. Minnie Harris and Mr..
Fred Schuttee. Not a member of the
Harris FIRMLY is sick not had they any
of them been sick for three weeks be-
fore the quarantine was placed upon
them nor have any member of the
family been sick since. The board of
health would not dare to thus quaran-
tine any of the families of Cresco of
wealth and social standing without
cause. The family of Mr. Scheutte is
one in which the worst cases occurred,
that of Hannah Mier and her sister.
The scabs are off clean from the face
of each and while their faces where
the Scabs were are red as newly form
ed skin always is, no matter what the
trouble has been, there is not Il pit on
the face of either, or the least particle
of evidence that either has had the
small poN. The Editor of the Plain
Dealer has seen enough cases of small
poN that he would be able to diStin-
guish the disease from its offensive
odor no trace of which has been in any
of these cases. 1t has been profit
able scare for the doctors, but detri-
ment to all others, and especially to
those who have been quarantined
needlessly and wrongfully.

Another City Imposed Upon.

DR.. Keith was called from here pro-
fessionally to Kansas City and the
southwest writes us that he found per-
Sons sick at that City with German
measles or us they call it there, Roth
elyn, who had been sent to the pest
house as small poX sufferers, and sends
us a clipping from the Kansas City
Times of June 3rd, part of which is as
follows:
The impression that small poX is rag
ing in Kansas City has gone abroad by
some means or other, and in some of
the unfrequented villages in the terri
tory tributary to Kansas City the peo-
pie are shaking in their boots for fear
of contracting the dread plague.
Such fear is unfounded and absurd.
1t is questionable indeed whether
there is at present one case of small
pox within the confines of the city.
1t does not appear to be matter OF
record that single case of the socall-
ed small poX has been unqualitiedly
branded as such by a physician who
knows small poX from nettle rash. On
the other hand it has been conclusive
ly proven that measles has been mis-
taken by the city physician for the
more deadly, yirulent disease, and pa
tients suffering from that old fashion,
ed and comparatively harmless disease
have been sent to the pest house as
small poN sufferers.
AS here. the neighboring cities
spread the news with little regard for
the truth, and the mayor of Kansas
City has issued Il proclamation pro-
claiming the fact that no small pox
exists in their city.
1t seems that CreSco is not the only
city victimized by doctors who don't
know the difference between the
small poX and chicken poX. Profes,
sional ignorance ought to command 4
premium in that city, and it would in
this if we had a hospital.

thinks DR.. Schrader is all right. But
it is hard to tell which has the most

which perhaps innocently copies it
without knowing the source from
which it eminateS.

at Cresco, Tuesdays PLAIN DEALER
says that the alleged cases are nothing
more than chicken poX. To keep the
