A singular Characteristic Of the small
pox which has been prevalent in Michi-

form that II Is not readily recognized.
So far as known, out of over one hundred
cases in the State not one death has oc-
CURED, and in the opinion of some ply
sicians the disease Is not smallpox at all.
DIR. Gibbes OF Detroit is said to have de-
slared it to be one form of itch, known
as wabash itch" Secretary Baker Of
the State Board Of Health, in reply to a
question on the subject, produced state
ment made by leading physician ut
Benton Harbor, who recently had about
twenty cases under his supervision. Out
OF thirty-six. persons exposed, exactly
one-half came down with the disease,
the period between the exposure and the
beginning of the illness corresponding
exactly with that of smallpox. More
over, the disease showed great respect
for persons who had been vaccinated, and
the form OF the disease was readily dis
tinguishable as smallpox, although the
type was very mild and the disease only
affected the outer skin.
