NINETEEN CASES OF
SMALLPOX REPORTED

Nineteen smallpox cases Is the pres
ent midsummer record for Montgomery,
that number of patients having been
reported TO the office. Of the City San
itary Department.
Summer being an urrropftious sea-
son for the disease. nineteen cases 10
regarded as somewhat excessive though
the prospect OF an epidemic ID obviat-
ed by the scattered locations of the
patients homes. The stricken people.
for the greater part negroes, are held
at the Detention Hospital on Upper
Wetumpka road
The number of other contagious ais
eases is insignificant. and In no way
unusual. No new cases Of diphtheria
have been reportedin some time. wnii.
the scarlet fever patients are few and
far between.
Altogether. despite the nineteen
smallpox cases--mostly among negroes
with whom the sdisease is always more
or less prevalent.--the condition of gem
eral health of the city Is regarded as
good. Typhoid fever, the inevitable
summer bugaboo, shows no alarming
disposition as to extent Or severity.
