All of Crawford's smallpox patients
are now getting along nicely ann It
will not be many days until the quar-

be grateful. All we can say is that we
wish some other communities would
be honest to name smallpox by its
right label and quarantine It as such
SO visitors thereto would not carry
the disease back to their homes.
