800 Reward, 800.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able TO cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the on
ly positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimon-
ials.

To the health officer:-
Smallpox has been increasing until it
is reported IN nearly fifty places In Mich
igan. 1t usually tends to decline during
the warm summer months, and then, as
cold weather comes on, TO Increase In
prevalence until April or May, SO that,
considering the unusual difficulty In re-
stricting the disease under the present
condition oil mlldness, there is good rea-
son to believe that the smallpox will con
tinue to increase until 1t Is wide spread
throughout the state.
Your local board of health should pu6-
liciy recommend (liOt OrdeT) general vac
cination of every person who has not
had smallpox within few years, or
who has pot been successfully vacci-
mated within the past five years; and
should lin accordance with Section 4465
of the Compiled Laws OF 1880 offer free
vaccination to those lChO are unable TO
pay.
Vaccination is a reliable preventive
of smallpox, and if every person in your
jurisdiction is vaccinated there need be
no fear of the disease spreading IN your
jurisdiction.
"a
vaccinated; but if the health officer has
good reason to believe that a person has
been exposed to smallpox, he can
isolate that person if he refuses to be
vaccinated; this is required of the health
officer, by Act l37, Laws of 1888.
| In order to prevent the breaking up of
schools, school boards may (under sec
tion 1852, Compiled Laws 1890 require
of pupils certificates of successful vacci-
nation within the past five years, or evi-
dence of re vaccination with virus known
to be effective; and teachers may be in
structed to compare the certificates with
the lists of pupils to learn whether or
not all have complied, and if not to re-
port the facts to the local health officer.
Railroad officials, proprietors of mills,
lumber camps and mines, and merchants
and other employers of laborers may re-
quire certificates of successful vaccina-
tion, as a guarantee that their operations
may not be interrupted 10y outbreaks of
smallpox, which ought to nave been pre-
vented.
If this office can be of any service to
you at any time, in aiding the work for
the restriction and prevention of disease,
it will give me pleasure.
