Norwich bulletin., 1912-12-13

Putnam has two cafes of smallpox. The patients have been quaranttned and every precaution has been taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
 Mrs. Alphonsine Beaupre and her son, Eugene, residents in the mill vil- lage in the north end of the city, are the patients, Mrs. Beaupre's case be- ing of the severe type, though not extremely so. The sons case is not as fully developed as that of his moth CT nor does it threaten to be so vir- ulent
 It was on Tuesday that Dr. Ed ward F. Perry first saw Mrs. Beaupre. He immediately became suspicious of the case Wednesday he called Dr. Omer Larue, the health officer. in con- sultation and Dr. L. O. Morasse. All the physicians were convinced as to the nature of the case, but did not make any declaration of positive na- ture until Thursday. although quar- antine was ordered and rigidly main- tained from Wednesday.
 The history of the cases seem to in- dicate that they are due to contagion brought here from a town in Canada by Dennis Cabana, brother-in-law of Mrs. Beaupre. When he returned he was suffering from an eruptive disease, but was able to be about. He did not know the nature of his trouble, but indicated that in the town in Canada where he had been staying there were many similar cases.
 Mrs. Beaupre has been i'll since Sat urday. Eugene Beaupre, who up to Thursday had not fully developed the disease has been about the north end of the city. Medical opinion Thursday was to the effect that the circum- stances surrounding the development of the cases are such that it is not probable the disease has been spread here.
 Arrangements were being made Thursday evening for placing on duty at the Beaupre home special off, cer and an immune, who will close- ly guard the premises until all danger is past.
