CON TAG|ON'S CAUSE
City Physician Relates the
History of the Existing
Epidemic.
HOW THE DISEASE SPREAD

DR. F. w. Kruger. city physician.
in an article contributed to the Pal
ladium traces back to its origination
the present smallpox epidemic. DR..
Kruger lucidly illustrates the fact
that the hrst case existed for some
time before it was brought to the at
tention of the medical fraternity, con-
sequently there was plenty of oppor-
tunity for it to become widely spread.
He states that the health authorities
have met the conditions to the best of
their ability and have handled the sit
uation better than could be expected.
SO that much of the criticism heaped
upon them has not been justified. His
letter is as follows:
Much has been said of late, through
the columns of the daily press. in cri-
ticism of the management of the re-
cent smallpox outbreak and all tend
ing to create in the mind of the pub
lie, false impressions as to the cause.

that have thus been exposed.
Physicians Protection.
The state board has advised that no
doctor, knowingly, shall go into any
contagious disease without wearing a
linen or rubber coat. with skull cap,
and this linen or rubber coat shall be
well disinfected with formaldehyde,
and the hands and face shall be thor
oughly disinfected before going in to
see other patients. If any one has
knowledge of this rule being violated,
the health authorities will consider it a
favor to be so informed. There is
also an ordinance and state law that
prohibits, by heavy fine. any one vio-

ing smallpox. We will be glad at all

A Foolish Prejudice.

1t seems almost beyond belief. that at
this age of the world. when vaccina-
ton is over a hundred years old. and
has been demonstrated over and over
again to be an absolute protection.
when properly done. against smallpox.
that there should be any one not will
ling to be vaecinated In other dis
eases all we can hope to do. is to find
a remedy after We are sick, but in
smallpox we can find a remedy in vac
cination before We have the disease.
and more, we are prevented from even
having the disease at all. No doctor
has any protection against smallpox
that mot insured to others, except he
finds it in vaccination. He vaccinates
himself and his family, and then asks
others to do the same. and still with
advice and examples, he is told there
is nothing in vaccination
Its Benefit Proven
No one recently vaccinated has had
smallpox in Richmond. if Naccinated
before the time of contagion Vacci-
nation. as it is done today, is as safe
as any such procedure could be- and is
not accompanied by serious pain, and
discomfort, yet people will take
chances on dying with loathsome
disease, or being pitted for life with a
milder attack, simply because they
don't want to be vaccinated. They
are the carriers of the disease, and
without such persons in city we
would need no quarantine against the
disease.
At least one state has passed a law
that compels persons not willing to be
vaccinated to take their chances on
the disease. That is she will not pro-
tect them by quarantine against the
disease. Let everybody get successful
ly vaccinated, therefore. and this whole
question will be solved. Other coun-
tries, as Germany. require vaccination
in early life, at the school age and
among men, before going into the
army.
Germany Hasn't Smallpox.
Germany is not bothered with small
pox. The present epidemic in this
city, with all these precautions can be
stopped within short time. In fact.
it is growing less at the present time.
In all probability other cases will come
up before it is entirely subdued, and It
will be necessary for every one to
guard against it. by giving all informa-
ton to the health authorities. when
ever possible. At the present time the
disease is confined to the infection of
the Warner School, and is only crop

Resentment Created.
Criticism of the management OF
these epidemics only serves to create
q feeling of resentment against the

fault lies wholly with the citizens.
1t is quite probable that smallpox

at times without the knowledge of the
board of health. We have felt secure
when no case was reported by any
ply sician. when in reality the disease
was really existing among families
who were perhaps ignorant of its true
nature. and who went about then

and relatives.

This state of affairs has occurre,

pupils OF such building, without the
the case. Three or four times persons
have come into doctors offices to in
quire about eruptions, to find that they

exposed. 1t can only be done by the

general public and health officers
Health Dept. Organization.
The city has, beside the board OF
health, two city physicians, sanitary
inspector, and the police in emergency
to call upon to enforce the quarantine
laws. At the present time we have an
extra sanitary inspector on duty, and
all of these men are doing all they can
with the help of the public. to stop the
disease where it is. The law requires
that when the health authorities are
notified of the existence of contag-
the duty of the health officer to pla-
card the house SO infected, until the
disease has passed the point of infec-
ton, and the house is disinfected.
The law also provides, that whenever
any person not having residence in
the city or place he can be taken. has
smallpox. that it shall be the duty OF
the health officer to remove such per-
son to the pest house or city hospital
as he may deem proper.
Use Of Pest House.
1t is clearly seen. therefore, that the
pest house is intended for persons not
having a residence in the city, and il
many persons were asked to leave their
homes and go to the pest house. nc
place would then be provided for emer-
gency patients. At best, the present
pest house only has four rooms that
are at all in condition to receive pa
tients, and these rooms are used only
at long intervals at most. In the
meantime they are not heated and are
consequently damp, and do not con-
form in any way to our modern hospit
ais. and certainly these cases of con-
tagious disease should have as good
care as other patients. Again. hardly
any persons will consent to go to the
pest house.
The very name is repulsive to most
persons, and If they do not consent

URGES VACCINATION
City Health Officer Bond Says
It's a Sure Preventa-
tive Of Smallpox.
TALKS ABOUT PEST HOUSE

DR.. c. 8. Bond, city health officer, in
q communication to the Palladium, ex-
plains why II has been SO difficult to
combat the present smallpox contag-
ion. He states that the disease was
allowed to get good start before it
was brought to the attention of the a',-
thorities, and he also defends his
course of action in quarantining pa.
tients In their homes. In conclusion
he urges general vaccination, which is
q sure preventative of the disease. The
communication follows:
As much has been said in the papers
u late. concerning the smallpox stu
alton In Richmond, 1t probably will not
be out of place for me to give view
Of the matter. 1t is not much wonder
that we have the disease. when we are
surrounded by it all the time. In jan
uary twenty -four counties of the state
had smallpox, and during last month
several more counties reported 1t. The
disease has been mild, and this fact
makes It all the more difficult to quar-
antine. as persons often go about with
the disease from one city to another.
