The Prevalence of SMALLPOX.

Inc prevalence or SMALLPOX.
The latest official report to which
we have access shows that in Phil
adelphia county, including the city
of Philadelphia, there were 433
cases of small pox, SO fatal, for the
period of February 1 to October 81
The death rate of one to 7.3 is very
high and it is highly probable that
many cases were not recognized.
For the month of November the
disease was on the increase and in
one week twelve persons died.
Such being the situation, the Cecil
County Board of Health deems it
necessary to advise all persons
within its jurisdiction to get vac
cinated at once and to keep away
from all places where the disease is
prevalent except in cases of abso-
lutte necessity. Cecil county pro-
vides free vaccination for those
unable to pay. There has been a
great neglect OF vaccination in
Philadelphia.
The latest cOnfirmatory report of
its efficacy in stamping out small
poX comes from Porto Rico. Pre-
vious to June 80, 1899, the annual
average number of deaths from
smallpox for the previous ten
years was 621. Since June 80,
1899, when the United States Gov
eminent completed a general vac,
cination, up to the present time,
there have been but three deaths.
An impartial scientific investiga-
ton in Camden, N. j., where sew
eral cases of tetanus dock jaw fol
lowed vaccination, showed that the
virus was pure in every instance,
and that the vaccination wound was
neglected and tetanus germs al.
lowed to get in from soiled cloth
ing and fingers, and from the all
blowing dust, during the dry sea-
son, from filthy streets, garden
soils, etc., where the tetanus germs
flourish. From a clean operation
and clean treatment of the wound,
there is no risk.
