pox was honored by having temples erected
Cor the worship of this deity. Small pox was
spread in China by having the erusts of a
patient thrust into the nostrials of an in
tended victim and this practice was known
as. spreading the Small poy''.
In India the tradition states that Small
pox existed among the Brahmin caste from
-ime immemorial. Descriptions by ancient
writer's of spotted or pustular skin dis
eases are thought to refer to Small pox

and two passed through his uniform.
Jerry ceased to talk and began to
shoot. His first bullet pierced the gun

over. Charlton is in a cell, and we
trust he will get the limit. Jerry, is on
the job, and we trust he will stay on
