SMALLPOX HERE
IS BEING KILLED
City Physician ConQuerS Epi-
demiC Near Bryant School,

Aiter a week OF hard work DR.. J, T.
Martin director OF the city health de-
partment, states that the smallpox
epidemic IN the vicinity OF the Bryant
school is now well under control Dr.
Martin, after thorough inyestiga-
ton, traced the origin OF the epidemic
TO a room in the school.
According to DR.. Martin, the cpl
dmc gained serious headway by rea-
son OF the fact that physicians attend
ing cases in that district were guilty
Of mistaken diagnoses, In many cases
1t was reported as chickenpoX. DR..
Martin also charges that several
physicians were guilty Of intentionally
concealing cases OF smallpox from the
health department 50 that their
patients would not have to 80 to the
per house.
To prevent a spread OF the disease
DR. Martin announced Yesterday that
guarantees would not be raised on
dwellings until all persons coming IN
contact with smallpox patients had
been vaccina,ed There are now
,hirty-iiye cases OF smallpox in the
city that have been reported to the
health department
The scarle, fever epidemic, which
was a, its height ten days ago, ha,
now been reduced to seventeen cases

The best thought OF medical science

direct methods for curing those old

ful changes are made in tubercular
conditions by the very late methods in
a few weeks OF time,

treatment that only year or so ago
would have been considered hopeless.
