PESTHOUSES CLEARED OF SMALLPOX
Last OF the Patients Were Discharged on Sat.
urday the Building Thoroughly FumigatedI
and Cleaned More Cases in Town.

us
we are happy to report that after the
last patient had been released and the
quarantine removed from the last in
lected house, the pesthouse itself was
nnsliy closed on Saturday last. after
having been III constant use since MAY
the 24th. The town authorities have
decided to leave the buildings in their
present situation in case they should
DC unfortunately needed again soma
time IN the future. 1t NAV he Of
interest to our readers, so numerous
and so exaggerated have been the re-
ports at different times, to learn that
there were in all Il cases of the dis
ease III the town since May 3rd and -
OF these were treated in the pesthouse.
Ihere were three deaths altogether
The folly of trying to conceal the ex-
lstence OF these infectious cases was
exemplltied by the fact that one vonpg
man who had very mild attack of
varlolOid, the knowledge of which was
carefully hidden by the family from
the Board of Health, gave the disease
to four other persons, in two of which
cases the disease terminated fatally.
No case IN which vaccination showed
any signs of taking" developed the
disease, and where it did not take "
the malady was Of the mildest possible
character. One great reason, there
lore, why the smallpox has apparently
been SO completely stamped out was
doubtless the wholesale vaccinating
throughout the town, in which all our
physicians participated. This epidemic
has naturally had its usual depressing
effect upon local business interests.
but we trust that now the cause has
at last been removed, trade illresume
Its former channels and its normal
activity.
