URGES EVERY ONE TO BE
VACClNATED AT ONCE
DIR. Roy Il. Flanagan Snys Smallpox
Can bc Prevented IL Proper
steps Are Taken.

In view Of the prevalence in some
parts of Virginia Of smallpox. Or. Roy
*. Flanagan. chief health officer. is
sued yesterday "A warning TO the pub
lie TO take time by the forelock and
about it, smallpox can be prevented"
DR.. Flanagan said. 1T is absolutely
an unnecessary disease because vac
cination is certain preventive"
Or. Flannogan's warning is based on
the announcement by the State Board
of Health that smallpox has appeared
in many sections. and there is to-day
one case in Richmond. A coiored pa
ticnt is under treatment at the small
pox hospital, and fear Is entcrta lned
that he may have zen the cause Of
the infection of others. The patient
was a rover and is believed to have
come in contact with many OF his race
before he finally came under the at
tcntion OF the health authorities. As
the period of incubation in cases Of
smallpox can be definitely asccrtained.
Dr. Flanagan figures that about May
- other cases may appear as result
OF tho movements of the negro under
treatment.
Vaccine will be supplied at the De-
partmcnt Of Health to all persons who
arc unable to purchase 1t from their
druggist or physician. 1t will also be
administered by the department with
out cost. DR. Flanagan is anxious
that all who have never been vacci-
mated. or who have not been I'm the
past two years. do so without delay.
