A Word of Advice,

Having passed through the ex-
perience of genuine case of small
pox, I want to say to all who have
not been vaccinated that it 10 to
their interest to do this at once. I
know from experience in my own
household that vaccination tends
to prevent the disease taking, or if
one should take smallpox after
successful vaccination, the diseaae
is not so severe.
I know that vaccination does
good, and I advise all who have
not attended to this within the last
two years to have O physician to
vaccinate them ut once.
Respectfully,
D. A. COOPER.
