but they have not always had recourse 10
Christian Science in order to do it.
Mr.. MattoX then states that if child
we're exposed to smallpox it should be
treated as scarlet fever and like diseases
are treated, by mental means only The
community viii have TO judge OF the wis
dom OF this. Here is a man who states
in an article published in a reputable pa
per, that he does not believe In material
means for preventing the spread Of small
pox- If his child were exposed to this
disease. and subsequently, showed symp-
toms Of it, we infer that be would not
isolate II from other members Of the fam
lily. nor would he report 1t to the health
authorities. The other inmates OF the
house would go back and forth to their
various engagements as usual Some of
them might be vaccinated, and thus es-
cape the infection; but that would not pre-
vent their carrying it in their clothes. and
giving it to others. more sensitive and less

statement of A similar experience. This
indicates that Mr. Mattox is credulous. bur
