VACCINATION CHECKS SPREAD
But Lack of strict Quarantine is Re-
sponsible for Additional
Cases.

| Another case of what may turn out
To be smallpox was taken in charge
by the city health department today
and a guard placed over the premises
The symptoms are not yet sufficiently
marked for the physician in charge
to pass judgment upon them as yet
The patient lives in the neighborhood
of the Payne family on Twenty-first
street and il is possible that the dis
ease, if such it proves, may have been
contracted through personal contact
with the other patients.
The three patients at the pest house
were liberated yesterday morning
and today the place and all it con
tanned was given Il thorough fumiga-
ton so that it will be safe for carpen-
ters to make alterations and repairs
about the building.
Since the first of February, 1907,
smallpox has been reported to the
state board of health from 1872 local
tiles i'm 65 counties. 1t is reasonable
To believe that all cases are not re-
ported. In some localities where the
disease appears for the first time the
malady has been termed chicken
poN," Cuban itch and illinois
scratches" thus causing q spread of
the disease by lack of strict quaran-
tine.
From localities where vaccination
has been enforced few reports have
been received, and where vaccination
has been enforced after an outbreak
the spread of the disease invariably
has been checked.
