become an extremely dangerous ty-

discharged as no longer In danger of
the ravages Of the dread disease; and
up to the present time the percentage
of mortality has been put per cent,
or, in other words, four times less than
the usual State rate.
These facts do not mean. however.
that all danger is past. DR.. p. s.
Schenck, health commissioner, en-
phasizes this in urging the public to
take advantage of the vaccine treat
ment He especially urges those who
have begun the treatment to complete
it. According to DR.. Schenck, one
treatment Is worthless, and those
who take but one are doing nothing
more nor less than wasting the
