GET Vaccinated.

1 GSE NACCinaLeu-
circular letter has been issued by the
local Board of Health, as follows The
Board desires that the citizens give heed to
this warning, and at once begin to protect
themselves, that we may 1t be visited by
a plague, that would mean death to many,
and would be source of annoyance and
dread to all.
| New jersey has been very free from out
breaks of smallpox for years no deaths
have been reported for two or three years.
This immunity has been due to a proper
observance of rules for its prevention This
immunity has occasioned a condition of
neglect of this prevention, until now it is
found that fully so per cent of the children
of school age in Gloucester county are un-
protected.
These statistics are gathered from the
school census; there is no means of know
ing how great per cent. of Adults are
unprotected, who are more liable to expo
sure than the children
New jersey is traVersed by travellers
from all sections of the conntrg, and il is
known that there are outbreaks of small
pox in many places.
There are laws which can be used to
compel vaccination, but before these are
enforced, the Board of Health asks that
the citizens consider this important matter
and adopt means for its prevention, which,
in this case, are simple and attended with
little danger and discomfort, namely, vac
cinstiOn and re-vaccination.
The question that the people must de-
eide is, shall they submit to this harmless
and sure prevention, or, by their neglect
permit an outbreak of disease that may
cost many lives and will create an alarm
that will bring misery to many homes,
and may come in this instance close to
ourselves.
The Board Of Health earnestly appeals
to all the people to give immediate atten.
ton to this warning, and not wait until
disease and death are in our midst before
acting.
