TWO SMALLPOX CASES.
They Contract the Disease While
Visiting q Relative.

Visiting Il Relative.
Two new cases of smallpox have been
reported te the Health Department. and
both removed to the smallpox hospital
Both are in the northeast section and both
were contracted from John Hamilton, who
was removed from Wylie's Court to the
hospital about two weeks ago.
Walter Jackson. colored was found suf-
fering with smallpox at 1921 H Street
northeast late Wednesday night. He was
engaged as driver Of a coal cart when ia
ken i'll.
William Brent the second case, was re-
ported yesterday i'll at 1904 Linden
Court northeast. He is colored. thirty
seven years old, and has family
Both Jackson and Brent are relatives of
Hamilton and both visited him while he
was sick at his home in Wylies Court, re-
naming some time at his bedside. which
accounts for the disease in both cases.
The houses at 1921 II Street and at 1904
Linden Court have been placed under
quarantine and the inmates will be
watched by the employees of the Health
Department
In speaking of the matter yesterday
DR.. woodward said that as long as people
are so careless as these men were in go
ing TO visit Sick man with a suspicious
disease of the skin the spread of smallpox
was always a possibility. He said the
Health Department would do all that 1t
could to keep the disease In check, but
he thought there was need of great care
on the part of people going into the houses
where others are sick until the nature OF
the malady is known. especially when
there is fever and eruption of the skin.
Here are two cases of smallpox, he said,
directly traceable to such carelessness.

CAT ARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
Q simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes SO.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
.5ai*es. washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
