HOW SMALLPOX
WAS VANISHED

II. J. MacLcan of Goldey Com
mcHclal College recently wrotc to
Mayor johnson Of Cleveland,
Ohio, for particulars as to how
that city stamped out the disease
OF smallpox. Cleveland Yeas ago
was known as 4 smallpox centre
and was never day at any time
OF the year without a number Of
eases of smallpox. The death
rate i'll recent years the city has
had but little if any smallpox to
deal with, was what caused Mr..
MacLcan to inquire as to how it
was stamped out. His communi-
cation was returned by Mayor
johnson to the Health Department
and Mr. MacLcan has received the
following communication from
that Department.
Wilmington, Del, Feb. %, 1902
Mr.. II. J. MacLcan, Your favor
OF February 2Oth to Mayor john
son was referred to me for reply.
We relied upon distinction mostly
i'll order to get rid of smallpox.
As the scourgo had spread over
great part Of the city, we were
obliged to disinfert whole sections,
and we disinfecteu every house in
an infected district no matter
whether smallpox had been W thin
il or not. We used Il ormulle-
hyde generator to do the work.
The proceeding Is simple. Close
a room tight, open all doors to
closets, draw out all bureau draw
crs, spread out clothing so as to
present the largest possible sur
face, then set the machine going,
filling the whole room with form
al'lehydc gas. The gas will injure
nothing, but is harmful to house
plants and animal life.
formaldhhydc gas is sure to
kill the poison Of smallpox wher-
ever it finds it. For three years
Cleveland has been the SMALLPOX
center Of the United States, but
since the general distinction no
ease has developed in Cleveland,
although here and there has been
imported.
Along with distinction We en-
ployrd sanitary measures, i. e., we
started u house to house crusade
against dirt Of any description.
We cnjoined people to clean their
yards, barns aud lots, to drain
I'll mud puIllrs .,nl fill them in,
to abatc nuisance wherever there
was a sewer in the street, etc.
For about month and Il half
last spring we tried compulsory
vaccination but the results were
not satisfactory. Frequently the
virus would not take, failing in
cases where prompt action was
most desirable. Again it wo lid
take but cause sepsis, and such Il
vaccination does not immunize
against smallpox. On that account
! dropped vaccination altogether,
although | an no anti-vaccination-
ist, and believe firmly that yacci-
nation with the proper virus will
protect against smallpox.

The platform adopted by the
republican state convention last
week has been thoroughly and ex-
tensively commented on in all parts
of the United States. Some critics
criticised it at first but after more
deliberation came to the conclusion
that it was an up to the mark plat
form, one for the people and one
which they could take up ard
follow to victory, at all hazards.
It is a platform that is commend
able to all classes and advocates the
the promulgating of meaures that
are of vast interest to every citizen
and their welfare. It is couched in
word that mean much to the welfare
of the nation and as heret ofore the
republican party while in authority,
will SEQ that the nations welfare
does not, in any degree, suffer fol
lack of proper administration OF
public affairs. Gov. Van SAINT with
President Roosevelt has set high
standard of executive administration
that will never fade and their con-
tinuation of Office, which is fore
gone conclusion, will be marked by
the same degree of progressiveness
and popularity. Van SAINT for Gov.
ernor this year and Roosevelt in
1904 has been the slogan for some
time and will be carried through to
victory for them both.
