POINT TO PERIL IN
LACK OF VACCINATION
state and City Health Officers
Fear Smallpox May BE
Incubating Here.
ONLY FOUR CASES IN CITY
Some Of These Patients, How.
ever. May Have Infected
Others With Disease.

The great danger Of smallpox at the
present time lies in the lack of vaccina-
ton. That was the point made yesterday
in the Offices Of the Board OF Health and
by Dr. williams. Deputy state Health
Commissioner. There are four cases OF
smallpox in the city at present and fewer
cases upstate than there were several
weeks ago. Both the city and state health
officials. however. fear that the disease
may be incubsting ana for that reason
they urge vaccination.
1.-THE situation in New York state in
regard to smallpox at the present time
said Or. williams. is critical owing ia
the neglect OF vaccination. Fortunat ely
the epidemic that prevails up State is mild
In type. although there have been num-
bers of cases In upstate counties the
largest number OF cases Is in Niagara and
Chautauqua.
