WHY SMALLPOX is NOT
OUARANTINED

In the year 1909 when an epidemic
of smallpox struck Wilson, l am re-
liably informed the Town and Coun-
ty of Wilson paid out $3,6OO.OO to
feed and treat those who had small
pox. The experience of Wilson is a,
fair average of what the other SO
Counties of the State experienced.
The officials of the State and Counties
were wise enough to see that this
expenditure of public funds, derived
from taxes paid by all the people, was
unjust and unnecessary because OF
the following reasons:
1.-The State of North Carolina
makes and distributes free, to any
person of the State, smallpox vac
cine.
2-That every County of the State
provides FREE administration of the
vaccine.
| 3-That a successfully vaccinated
person Will Not contract smallpox.
| 4-That the value and efficacy OF
vaccination against smallpox is SO
well established by experience extend
ing over a great number of years,
that no one is, or should be in ig-
norance of it's value.
i The State has left it optional with
the County Board of Health to adopt
the State regulations or to continue
with the old Pest-House and spend
: the peoples money to keep up a few
Ihard-headed, Indifferent people who
refuse or neglect vaccination, the on
lily means of prevention. The Boare
! of Health of Wilson County took thu
advice of the State and adopted thu
mo Quarantine-Be Vaccinated t.
Protect Yourself" law.
4 The above quotation is printed II

houses where smallpox exists.
