health officer and make Wilson a spot
less town. He told them that the
prescription to prevent disease was
not costing them anything, but Ii
they waited until disease invaded
their homes it would be very eXpen-
sive, besides it might remove some
loved one who could be lily spared
He especially urged that they take
the doctors advice with reference to
vaccination for typhoid and smallpox
and above all things, to use plenty
of lime and disinfectants until such
= time as sanitary sewers and water
WORKS are installed.
