SMALLPOX SPREAD

the situation presents no phases which
would excite unusual alarm.
Since January l. twenty-eight cases
of the disease have developed in the

January 1 to March of last year.
Epidemic a Mild One.
At the present time. the Health De-
partment has under treatment nineteen
cases. ten of which are in the smallpox
hospital. and nine in the detention
camp. Since the present outbreak. nine
patients have been discharged and nine
new cases reported. indicating that the
disease has not perceptibIy diminished.
These figures, on their face. appar-

which, while 1t may be termed as such,
is an essentially mild one.
While one death resulted from tie
disease during the early stages Of last
year infection, no deaths have occurred
among the cases reported since January
OF this year. This fact is explained
by the health authorities by the state
nent that all OF the tWenty-eight cases

This form of the disease is, however,
