SMALLPOX VERSUS ITCH!
Called Smallpox for Want of
a Better Name.

If the seven plaques of Egypt
were all turned loose on Claremore
at one time, they could scarcely
occasion more talk than the small
pox scare which was precipitated
by the Sunday visit of DIR. Fortner,
the, Vinita Hippocrates. Since
September last there has been an
eruptive skin disease prevalent in
this vicinity, which more closely
resembles smallpox than anything
else, but which the local physi-
clans could not name. 1t was in
the schools, and in one room there
have been sixteen cases. none Of
which have been absent more than
two days. But little attention was
paid to ''It" until Rev Mounger
contracted it from one OF the school
children, then it was whispered
that smallpox was in our midst,
and from that great rumors have
grown, many Of them sanctioned
by physicians, who admit that the
symptoms are not what would be
expected in a case Of smallpox, but
with irresistible logic they say
"What else will you call it2" and
there you are.
In Claremore there are two ply
sioians who have been in places
where the old fashioned smallpox
the kind that kills-existed, and
both OF the gentlemen, whose pro-
fessional standings are above ques-
ton. declare in no mild terms that
this is
Nc SMALLPOX.
To show their position is correct
the Courier has compileda a list OF
symptoms of both diseases. In
the first place, anyone will have
to admit that an expert is not nee
sssary to tell what is and is not
smallpox in the ordinary case, SO.
il is granted, for the sake OF argu-
ment. that these are the mildest
known forms of the disease.
Smallpox begins With high fever,
intense headache in the front part
of the head aud severe painsin the
small of the back, the fever runs
from l03 to lO6. In this present
disorder but one ease of fever has
reached 102, aud all Of the others
as far as can be learned are lower.
In smallpox there are four well
defined stages Of three days dura-
ton each, making twelve days be-
fore scabs begin to form. There
are no stages in the local dis
ease, true smallpox scabs do not
form and the average length of the
sickness in about five days, less
than ten per cent.of the cases being
confined to their beds, and many
children continuing at school dur
ing all the time. In the third
stage Of smallpox, what are known
as vesicles form in large numbers.
In the locol malady there are no

than any portion OF the body. The
local disease effects the hands,
wrists, face and back, rarely ap
pearing on any other portion of
the body. When the scabs OF
smallpox fall off they leave a scar
or "pit" which is absent in local
cases, as not scar is left unless
the sore has been locally irritated
Then again smallpox has an often.
sive odor, which has not been
found in a single local case.
Smallpox always runs its regular
course, while the local disease is
checked by applications of certain
ointments used with great success
by local physicians, showing the
parasitic nature of the disease.
There are some other peculiar
things noticeable in local cases.
One of the severest has previously
had varioloid and two next follow
ing have both been vaccinated. A
more remarkable thing is the fact
that two persons who have recov-
cred from the local disorder have
since been vaccinaied with won
derfully successful results, show
ing that vaccination does not
affect the disease and is not affect
ed by it. Smallpox is severer il
case of children than with adults,
this disease is the reverse.
The only opology offered for
this lengthy discussion is the num-
ber Of fool reports made by irre-
responsible parties and the injury
done Claremore thereby.
DR.. Fortner, a man of high
standing, while admitting the pre-
vailing symptoms were imcom.
patible with smallpox, returned to
Vinita where one interviewer re-
ported him with having said there
were fifteen cases ofsmallpox here,
and another cut the number to
FIVE.
DIR. Davis, a health officer from
Independence, Kan, told the local
physicians the disorder here could
not be smallpox, still the metro
politan papers report him as hav-
ing given US credit for forty cases.
Now the facts are, there have
been in all probably 100 cases of
diease in Claremore and vicinity.
Not single death has resulted so
far and there are no indications of
any. The very patient whom
Fortner gave eight days TO recover
was up the next day and the Sec
ond day from that time was walk
ing about his home and would have
been down town if permitted. 1t
has been entirely through the
schools. Not single case has &C.
cured among the colored popula-
tiOn, where it was most expected.
It is catching" and should be
suppressed, and to that end every
physician in Claremore is most
diligently working.
Until there is a death it looks
very much as If home doctors are
capable of taking care of the dis
ease and gratuitous advice from
outside medical men is received /
with thanks proportional to our
needs. The city authorities are
doing all that can reasonably be
considering the disease
and the injury which may be done
either Way.-Claremore Courier.
