GLOUCESTER c. H. VA, October IL
The Board OF Supervisors met here to-

of Health, reported that there was no
more smallpox in the county. The last
case was a terrible one, and the patient
died about a month ago. Clothes and
bedding were burned. the house disin-
fected, and apparently the disease was
stamped out.
The various cases cost the county
about one thousand dollars. and but for
the strict quarantine. there is no telling
what the cost would have been. A guard
with a gun was kept on duty for forty
days while the last case was treated.
The board has settled with the doc
tors for attending the smallpox cases.
some bedding and clothes are still to be
paid for DR.. Davis has agreed to make
his bill for vaccination in accordance
with the wishes of the board, and all
the trouble between doctors and super
visors is happily settled
Provision has been made for the come
pulsory vaccination Of school children
