The smallpox cases have entirely re-
covered and the quarantine has been
lifted from the Glotfelty home and will
be removed from the Hershberger
home in a few days. The entire Glot,
feIty family were i'll, with the excep-
ton of the master of the house who did
the greater part of the work, hang
ing out very creditable wash and do
ing most of the cooking himself for
several days. The malada was not of
malignant character, although Miss
Thelma, her mother and the baby eX-
perlenced considerable suffering dur
ing the eruptive period. The boys and
Master Wilbur Hershberger had the
disease in a lighter form. No new
cases have developed. those who we're
exposed having almost miraculously es-
capped. A general vaccination resulted I
and many adults suffered extremely for
several days from that cause.
