WORLD WIDE
EPIDEMIC
Dr.. Probst Says Peril From Spread
sf Smallpox is Very
Crave.
IS Increasing IN MALICKANCY.

Columbus, O., Jan. 7.-Dr, G. o..
Probst, secretary of the state board OF
health yesterday expressed the convic-
ton that there is immediate danger
of an epidemic Of smallpox through.
out the world. He believes that neg
lect of vaccination is responsible fol
the spread of the disease, which Is
now prevalent on all continents. He
said
mot alone Is the United States but
in Europe are the physicians battling
with the scourge. Germany, where
vaccination is general, is in the best
condition of any country.
"The disease is not epidemic, but
pandemic. 1t is in almost every
country, and the type
HAS BEEN INCREASING
in malignancy. For years it has been
kept down and the people lost their
dread Of it. Where it has broken out
1t has been of a mild form, and little
has been thought Of its once quail
ties.
'In the past quarter or half century
vaccination has been neglected. and
the country is full of people who have
never felt the scratch Of a vaccine
point. AS these precautions have been
neglected so has the disease increased
until now we are in danger of world
wide epidemic.
"a general vaccination Is the only
remedy. coupled, of course, with mod
ern quarantine regulations. Were all
the children of the country
SUCCESSFULLY VACCINATED.
/ believe that we would have but little
trouble in stamping out smallpox. AS
it Is, we stamp 1t out in city, then
the infection comes again and our
work has been for naught. Now that
the disease is again raging in virulent
form, think the people will see the
need of vaccination, and once more
the disease can be beaten back.
Portsmouth has set good exam
pie to other cities of the state. A
meeting of the manufacturers and
merchants of that city was called. At
this meeting every man pledged him
self that
EVERY PERSON IN HIS EMPLOY
would at once be vaccinated or in
slant discharge would result. AS a
consequence over 1000 persons have
been vaccinated in Portsmouth within
the past three weeks, and what at one
time threatened to become a severe
epidemic of the disease has been
checked.
Time and time again have the
health departments of the cities
of Ohio beaten down the disease only
to have 1t break out again. The only
preventive of the disease is vaccina-
ton, and unless the importance Of
this is forced upon the people fear
that we are upon the verge of great
pandemic of the disease. We health
officers cannot see the end of it, and
We fear the worst"
