SMALLPOX vExATION AND
DOUBT.
IWaterloo Reporter.l
The smallpox scare which has pre-
vailed in Iowa Tor the past year has
been productive of considerable annoy
ances and vexations besides the gen
eral alarm and uneasiness felt when
ever a9case was announced. In Bu-
chanan county the physician who at
tended the patients at independence
has sued the county for a bill of some.
thing like $500. which the board of sup
|ervisors refused to pay. This Is only
one Of the many differences that have
occurred. The doctors are at variance
lover the diagnosis in q, great many To-
lcalities, one asserting the suspect has
smallpox in unmistakable form, while
another physician is equally positive
the patient hasn't got any symptoms
that could he construed into smallpox
| by professional man who knows his
business In Dayton township. Butler
lcounty, the authorities paid $50 for a
physician to visit suspect and exam
Inc him. The Clarksville Star says he
decided 1t was case of smallpox. The
man escaped from the authorities and
reached Mason City, where he was
4 placed in the pest house until the ex-
amining physician came along and told
him he wasn't in 1t. Taking the testi-
mony OF experts the public mind is bad
4 ~ at sea, and n good deal OF the uncon-
lcern and carelessness which Is reported
in observing quarantine regulations Is
Itraceable to this yacillation of expert
opinion upon which people are disposed
Ito rely. If the doctors could get togeth-
err the situation would be much inn
proved.
