Of the insurance patrol. They are all
rendered worthless by neglect. Acids
which enter into the formulae of most
patent eXtinguishers eat away the tin
coverings, and there is nothing to be
done except to destroy the apparatus.

water buckets, which should be emptied
and refilled at least once week, simply
rust out and become useless.-Philadel-

EPIDEMIC OF SMALLPOX
At MARTINSBURG, ". VA.
Utf1cer of the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service Reports a
Serious Condition.

! According to Assistant Surgeon Ed
ward Francis of the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service. there exists. or
did exist quite recently. an epidemic of
smallpox at Mar1insburg. w Va, which
| the local authorities have shown little
ability or willingness TO control.
The epidemic appeared on April 4. an
unusually late date for this disease IN
this latitude. and up to the time Of
the inspection, under orders from Sur
geon General Wyman, on May 30. there
had developed twenty cases. The in
specting officer, from the methods and
attitude Of the town authorities. expect
ed many more.
DR.. Francis, in his official report
wrote follows:
I'm company with Dr. G. E Spon-
seller. the county health officer, I visited
the sixteen cases of smallpox and con
firmed his diagnosis in each case We
then had meeting on the street with
Mr.. Evans. the mayor, and Mr.. Park.

Of whom are members Of the county
board Of health. They asked my opinion
on the diagnosis, and / told them that
all the cases were smallpox. and that

AS regards isolation I advised that
all cases OF smallpox be removed to
smallpox hospital, and that contracts
be held in an observation hospital The
subject OF isolation in tents was also dis
cussed- The question of vaccination was
fully discussed with these gentlmen. and
they told me that since there had not
been any smallpox in Martinsburg for
twenty-five years, except a few cases
Which occurred about six months ago.
there had grown up a large population
unprotected by vaccination. I suggest
ed that the house-to-house inspectors
be also authorized to vaccinate all who

necessity 10 those who doubted its eff
Since fifteen cases were at the time
isolated in six different houses, ad-
vised that police be detailed by the
mayor to guard these houses in accord

question on which one must hold thf
gravest doubts in spite Of the mosS
Il believe the only disinfection which
has yet been done was on the cell in
the TAIL where the first case occurred.
"On the second dav of my stay at
Martinsburg the health officer called a
meeting Of the doctors of the city at
his office. and / met physicians who
saw some Of the first cases Of the pres
ent epidemic, which were diagnosed as

OF the physicians advised n house-to-
