Leon Guaranteed Against Garden
Grove.

At a meeting of the Leon board of
health Tuesday evening it was ordered
that quarantine regulations be enforced
against the town of Garden Grove for
period OF forty days on account of
the prevalence Of smallpox in that
city, proclamation by Mayor Woodland
containing the notice being published in
this issue. This step was taken on the
advice of DIR. j. A. Mcklveen member
of the stale board of health who was
here Tuesday, it being stated the Gar
den Grove authorities have failed and
refused to quarantine the numerous
cases Of smallpox in Garden Grove, the
local physicians insisting it is not small
pox, but chickenpox. Yet Icons only
case Of smallpox, Mr.. Sanford Reed, was
contracted from exposure to one of the
cases Of alleged chickenpox at Garden
Grove. In view of the increase Of small
pox all over the state strict measures
are justified to prevent the spread of the
disease.
