THE CRITICAL SEA

THE CRITICAL SEASON FOR SMALLPOX.
The inspiriting announcement is made that
week before last there were reported in this
city only two cases of smallpox, and that in
the first three weeks OF this month not more
than twenty cases were reported. Assuming
that practically all cases are reported. these
figures indicate n marked improvement in the
sanitary condition of the city. For against the
score of cases in three-fourt of this month,
there were 100 cases last month. and 246 cases
in July and 359 cases in June. There has thus
been steady and rapid decline in the prev
alence of the dreaded disease, such as gives
hope that the epidemic OF last winter will not
be repeated in the coming winter
That epidemic was one of the most serious of
recent years. and was not altogether void Of
features discredtable 10 those who exercise
sanitary guardianship over the city. 1t had,
moreover, the decidedly unusual characteristic
of not being confined 70 the season with which
il is commonly associated. Smallpox is notori-
ousIy cold weather disease" But that cpl
demic did not cease with the passing Of winter,
though. as we have said, it did decline with the
progress of summer. But 1t ominous that
it ragged with scarcely diminished virulence
through the spring, despite the warm weather
which then prevailed, and in the last of the
spring months II had the appalling aggregate of
800 cases. Each Of the three summer months
has. however. seen a dinninution in the number
Of cases in increasing ratio. From the last
spring month to the first summer month there
was a decrease of more than 81 per cent. From
the first summer month TO the second the de-
cline was more than 30 per cent and from the
second summer month TO the third il bids fair
TO he at least ~ per cent. We shall see If that
decrease continues
The present is undoubtedly the crucial sea
son. and the season of supreme opportunity.
The plague seems now to be nearly extirpated.
If the work of extirpation shall be carried a
little further may hope to get through the
coming winter without fear of smallpox. But
if with the oncoming of cold weather there shall
be reversal of tendencies. and the number of
cases shall begin TO increase, the outlook viii
be gloomy indeed. It is an expression of the
most obvious reflection to say that now is the
time for the Health Board of the city, and for
the entire medical profession, to put forth every
possible effort and TO spare precaution 10
retain the advantage gained and TO keep the
plague under control. IT is the time, too for all
citizens TO cooperate with the medical authori-
ties 10 that end. There are few diseases more
dreaded than smallpox. There are also few
more amenabe TO prophylactic treatment Now
is the time for such treatment TO be made thor
ough and effective

IA 1901
FAREWELL for now a stormy morn and dark
The hour OF greeting and OF parting brings;
Already on a rising wind yon bark
Spreads her impatient wings.
Too hasty keel little while delay
A moment tarry. thou hurryiug dawn
For long and sad will be the mourners' day
When their beloved is gone.
But vain the hands that beckon from the shore:
Alike our passion and our grief are vain
Behind him lies our little world: before
The ilhmitable main.
Yet. none the less about his moving bed
Immortal eyes tireless vigil keep
An angel at the feet and at the head
Guard his untroubled sleep.
Two nations bowed above common bier.
Made one forever by a martyred son
One in their agony of hope and fear
And in their sorrow one.
And thou. lone traveller of a waste so wide,
The uncharted seas that all must pass In turn,
May the same star that was so long thy guide
Ger thy last voyage burn.
No eye can reach where through yon somhre veil
That bark to fits eternal haven fares:
No earthly breezes swell its shadowy sail:
Only our love and prayers
