Smallpox Spreading In
Chester.

The Chester Times, the leading news
paper of Chester, Pa. announced in its
issue of last Tuesday that smallpox was
alarmingly on the increase i'll that city
and the authorities had been unable to
cope with il. Here is an extract from
the Times article:
The smallpox conditions in this city
are of a more serious character than at
any time since the appearance of the
disease.
This is the opinion of all of the ply
scians of Chester. who have been
brought in contact with the malady
and is also the opinion of the Times. as
the Investigations made by this journal
fully confirm all and more than the
doctors of Chester say.
The measures taken, some months ago
have utterly failed to eradicate small
pox The city is spending more money
for the treatment of cases than at any
time for months. yet smallpox is gain
ing.instead of decreasing, new cases are
being reported every day and the situa-
ton is assuming the most alarming
