PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES.
City Health officer Treaey Directs
Attention to contagion.

Editor ARGUS:
At the present time there is an cpl
demic of smallpox in the town of Gilt
Edge. The town is under quarantine
but unless the most drastic measures
are taken to prevent it the disease is
liable to be communicated to the other
towns in this section.
Smallpox is undoubtedly the worst
Of human maladies;" one of the most
highly contagious and dangerous of
existing diseases. and every possible
effort to prevent its spread and to sup
press il should be made. This can
alone be accomplished, except with
stringent measures, by the uniform
action of the citizens.
The disease may be communicated
from one person to another by actual
contact, or it may be carried through
the air of a room, or from place to
place by means of infected clothing,
bedding, merchandise, letters, etc, or
by any other article which may have
become infected.
1t is not known exactly how long
the virus Of smallpox retains its vital
ity, but there are well authenticated
cases Of its renewed activity after ~
ing dormant in clothing, bedding, etc,
for many years.
Vaccination is the surest means of
all to prevent the disease. Smallpox
q not prevail to any great extent in
q well vaccinated community. One
who has been recently successfully
vaccinated can live in a smallpox hos
pital and attend those afflicted with
this ~loathesome disease and be per.
fectly safe. One successfully vacci.
mated recently is as immune from
smallpox as one who has had the dis.
ease. This is today the unanimous
testimony of health authorities the
world over.
in January, 1899, in sixteen OF the
soyenty-one municipalities in Porto
Rico. there were reported three thous,
and cases of smallpox. The governor
general on January q ordered that
every resident who had not had the
disease be at once v~accinated; and
that therefore all infants must be vac,
cinated before reaching the age of six
months. On October 90. 1899, not a
single case of smallpox could be found
in the island. by either the military or
civil authorities"
Each individual In the city of Lew.
istown, who has not had smallpox. or
who has not recently been success.
fully y%accinatcd, should at once be
vaccinated and thus secure for him.
self an immunity from the ravages of
this terrible disease. No harm can
possibly result from vaccination with
reliable vaccine. properly performed
by Il qualified physician. Serious re.
suits that have followed vaccination
have been due to dirt. soiled under
garments coming in contact with the
sore, handling by dirty fingers and
being scratched by dirty finger nails.
