pox scare IN CharlestOwn is on the
wane, and the disease absolutely IN
the control OF the authorities. The
Advocate OF Saturday thus presents
the situation: There Is now not a
case of smallpox m town. MI have
been removed 20 the hospital. Ii is
perfect ~ safe FOR auv one who de
slres to come to town. There Is DO
more danger from infection or con
taglon IN CharleSt0wn than 1T any
place several miles removed. Small
pox Is contagious disease, i. G: al.
solute contact Is necessary 20 cOmrnu-
nlcate the disease. unless the
atmosphere is thoroughly impregna
ted with the germs. then it would be
infectious. Danger of contact no
longer exists. There is no infection.
The houses of patients. removed to
hospital. will be thoroughly disln-
fected. 50 far ms the town is con
cerned the disease is practically re-
moved -eradicated.
