How One Health offacer Managed to

himself imperyious TO the attacks
OF the loathsOmc disease. Instead
OF teing grateful Stuart swcars

Health Commissioners Sharpley

that he would have to handle all
the smallpox eases. The latter
Immediately began to inquire
among the clerks how he could pro.
tect himself against all possibility
Of contagion.
Il know just one thing" said
one. "liet some bisulphide OF
carbon. Take a long smell of it
every three hours. After a week
there will be absolutely no danger
OF your contracting smallpox, no
matter how yirulent the disease
may be-"
Now, bisuiphide Of carbon
smells like the concentrated odor
of eggs decayed for generations
back. But Stuart did not know
that. He bought bottle, Of the
stuff and conscientionsly took
long sniff of it every three hours.
Finally the treatment fecame too
severe. Z He dashed tie bottle to
the floor and shouted:
'Pd rather have all the small
pox in the world than take another
smell Of that stuff"
The laugh that followed re-

health commissioners. Now he
swears he will get even.
