smallpox. The lady recovered from her
illness and felt we'll enough to start for

turn. she found that the hotel had been
Guaranteed for smallpox and it then
dawned up her that she possibly had
been exposed on the going trip.
When she arrived at home the mat
ter was laid before the health physician,
and the history OF the case and symp-
toms led to the belief that she had SUI
fered a slight attack Of the smallpox.
Accordingly the houss was placed un-
