To The Commissioners of Sampson
County:
We commend You for your action in
adopting resolutions of thanks to the
county superintendent Of health for the
part he played in the stamping out OF
the recent smallpox epidemic
But We submit that your resolutions
should recite the facts.
You state to the public that DR.. r.
f. Lee was "unassisted."
This is grossly untrue. o ought TO
know that DR.. Henry Sloan, of Ingold,
managed the outbreak in Lisbon very
efficiently. and that DR.. j. O. Matthews
did the same thing in Taylor's Bridge,
giving their smallpox patients personal
attention daily. and keeping them iso-
lated. till recover or death.
They stopped the epidemic in their
sections at once too-Note that. They
and several other physicians also have
vaccinated hundreds of persons. To oul
minds this is the kind of assistance
that DR.. Lee needed.
What all desire to know is this: VIII!
should DR.. Lee have all the free adver
| Using, all the pay, and all the credit o
stamping out the epidemic unless h
had done all the work. Why not Civ
the public the actual facts as they ex
| ist, instead Of a sycophantic panegyri
