CURRENT COMMENT
Smallpox Situations.

Frequent failure by physicians to
identify smallpox cases leads to the con.
viction that clinic or two on that dis
good advantage. Barre Times.
good procedure is to call in the state
board of health in case Of doubt. Small
pox is not always easily to be recognized,
but its recognition at the very start is
so important that the services of the
state authorities should be called in at
once if there is any doubt whatever.
In connection with smallpox there is a
very peculiar community state Of mind
which is common the country over, No
community wishes it TO be known that
it has cases Of this disease within its
borders and many persons are reluctant
to believe that the cases so diagnosed are
in reality smallpox.
1t is one Of those cases where the lay
man, who has not even seen the patient,
is willing to stack his Judgment up
against that of medical authorities.
Sometimes there il even found an inn
putation that the doctors enormously
and with intention pronounce a sickness
smallpox because they desire the in
crea sed revenue that comes from wide.
spread vaccination.
Those who really believe that the med.
ical profession would prostitute itself in
this way are mall-minded. Others may
profess to agree with the idea because OF |
their desire to allay scare. Both view
points are to be thoroughly condemned. |
The best thing that any community |
AN do when il is visited by smallpox, or
my other contagious disease. is to face
he music man fashion, and do every.
hing possible to stamp it out. This is
much more to the point than is grumbling
md the making Of yelled insinuations
gainst honorable men.
And the best way 10 stamp out the
isease is to rely on the experts, the doc.
ors. Their reputation is involved in this
natter and they are the center Of the
aye Of the medical fraternity the state

ase. Their success depends, in a large
leasure, on the cooperation Of the pub.
