North Side Neus

According to DR.. H. L. Clark, city
physician. no new cases of smallpox
have appeared on the North Side since
Friday. Five cases in all have been
reported. None of these were taken
to the detention home. Unless sur
roundings indicate that proper care
cannot be afforded a patient or that a
careful quarantine will not be main
tanned, there is no necessity of such
precaution, says DR.. Clark
Four Of the cases are in the same
neighborhood, and all have been
traced to the same source. A man
who was suffering from an eruption
was told by doctor that he had
called to see him. 1t developed that
he was broken out with smallpox but
it was not discovered until two other
persons had taken the disease and
been reported.
