The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1902-03-26

After respite OF nearly a week, and
with every encouraging reports from the
patients at the pest house: just when
there was a feeling, hope. that no more
cases of smallpox would develop. a new
centre was discovered.
This time II is on Glenham street in
one of the best residential sections of
South Providence.
The sufferer Is Horace s. Richardson,
jeweler. who resides at 55 Glenham
street
The other members of the family are
his wife, his son. sister-in-law, mother
in-law and a servant girl
Two weeks or ago all the younger
members of the household were success
fully vaccinated.
Within a week Mr.. Richardson. feeling
that the danger OF infection was grow
ing. decided TO be vaccinated.
He followed the impulse and his arm Is
now we'll along.
Several days prior to the vaccination
Mr.. Richardson was exposed 10 small
pox and contracted the disease.
He will not be very sick, for the vac
cine will modify the disease and his
sojourn at the hospital will be consid-
erably abridged.
Mr.. Richardson began to feel poorly the
latter part of last week. but this fact
he attributed 10 his vaccination.
Yesterday he was quite sick and today
q physician was called.
An eruption made its appearance early
I'm the morning and as soon as the physl-
clan saw this he suspected what allied his
patient.
A telephone message was sent TO the
health department and Drs. Chaplin, King
and Swarts visited the sick man
They diagnosed smallpox and Mr.. Rich
ardson was sent 10 the pest house
The other members OF the family were
quarantined and grocer directed TO fill
any orders they might give; but to re-
frain from taking anything from the
house such as a milk can or pitcher.
DIR. Chaplin does not expect that others
in the family will be sick; although that
Is not an impossibility.
Mr.. Richardson Is In the employ OF
Flint Blood g. Co, manufacturing jewell
ers, OF "a Point street.
1t was at this shop that Patrick Keilty,
OF Gibbs place. rear of Robinson street,
has been employed
Keilty's wife infant and four-year-old
boy are now al the pest house
1t may be that Mr.. Richardson con-
tracted the disease there and that there
are others who may have been exposed
Again II may be that Mr.. Richardson
was exposed elsewhere To determine the
fact DIR. Chaplin visited the iewelry shop
this afternoon.
The Roche boy was able TO sit up and
have his clothes on today. Mr.. Donnell
was put on regular diet today and Will
liam Hibbitts was discharged from the
hospital this afternoon.
DIR. Chaplin, when he returned from his
inspection OF Flint, Blood & Co.'S shop.
said he found that Mr.. Richardson could
not have been exposed at the time the
Keilty's were.

not tell.
liz Is essential. as a safeguard. that
those who have not been vaccinated
should at once apply for this treatment
for Immunity.
The indications arc that there will be
a run of the disease In this city.
