Chicken Pox and Smalls Pox in
Canyon County.


To my knowledge we have had
chicken pox and small pox in Can
yon county for over one year. Dur
ing November, 1906, was called by
phone by the marshal of Emmett,
stating that people broken out with
small pox were walking the streets
of Emmett and asked that the health
conditions be investigated. The facts
as found at that time are as follows:
All the doctors of Emmett had had
cases of skin eruptions which they
had diagnosed chicken pox, for about
The same trouble broke out in the
family of Clayton Knox, who lived
about two miles from Emmett. 1t
went through his entire family, ten
in number, Mr.. Knox having the dis
ease first and it lasted longer with
him than any member of his family
A consultation of the doctors of EN-.
NETT was held in the case of Mr.
Knox and it was decided that he had
small pox as we'll as all other So
called chicken pox cases in Emmett
for they all had we'll marked cases
of what they then thought to bt
small pox. AS a result of this three
weeks of exposures we had nearly 20(
and fifty cases of small pOx in En-
NETT, New Plymouth, Falks Store ant

AS to Boise and Ada County

AS TO BOISE anu Aud COuHly
The latter part of last winter the
conditions in Boise were something
like they have been in Caldwell the
past month as to mixed contagion
of chicken pox and small pox. AS a
result and after due deliberation they
organized a new health board in
Boise and decided to quarantine
chicken pox with every enforcement
as in pronounced cases of small pox.
AS to physicians, l have never heard
one state that he could tell beyond
any question of a doubt in these
border line cases whether it is chick
pox or small pox. Should one take
exception to this statement | am sure
| if he can convince the county health
board, composed of the three commits
sioners and myself, that he, as a le-
| galized practitioner can do this, can
| take the work and become in my
| judgment the most valuable physi'
clan for the common good in Canyon
county, and should receive for such
services a compensation in keeping
with his ability. 1 will frankly ad
nit that | cannot differentiate II
every case beyond any question of
doubt between chicken pox and small
pox. AS my experience tells me II
this county that I cannot and always
be on the side of safety which
feel my duty to be to protect tn
public health, common good and wei
being against dangerous contagiou
disease.

Another Experience We Are Having
in Roswell, Parma and Vicinity.
1t was reported by phone by the
attending physician early in Deem
Der, 1907, that two families in Ros-
well had chicken pox, the attending
physician was instructed that If he
were positive that it was chicken pox
to have the parents stop their chill
dren from school and that would
be all that was necessary. On Jan
uary Is, l was called to Roswell,
Parma and vicinity to look into cases
of small pox diagnosed as such by the
local physicians. About fifteen
cases of typical small pox were found
and developed since and no questions
raised as to the diagnosis except by
these two families first diagnosed as
chicken pox and they were quaran-
tined. With the experience gained
from Emmett last year it was deemed
best to quarantine all the so-callec
chicken pox if any suspicious cases
of small pox existed anywhere in thu

Vaccination.

In my judgment, vaccination is a
much greater preventative to the
spread of all forms of small pox than
quarantine. l can be borne out in
this by statistics. The history and
efficiency of vaccination is too vol
luminous to give here. l will advise
anyone who cares to get the facts to
consult any standard authority on the
theory and practice of medicine
Therefore, l have recommended to
evry school board who have had
small pox in the district to enforce
vaccination. I still stand that way
and will do all in my power to en-
force it.

It freshens all the day,
It tips the peak of life with light.
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it.
And feels its courage strong
a laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folk along!
A laugh is just like music.
It fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And the happy thoughts come crowding
It's joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet
