Urge Precautions
 Against Smallpox
 Breaking Out Here

A warning to Bisbee citizens to play safe" and take every possible precaution against smallpox, was is sued last night to Dr. W. c. Bryan, city health officer.
 A large number of cases of small pox are now being treated in Tucson, said Dr. Bryan, and the possibility of the disease spreading should be avoid ed.
 "The Tucson cases show the dis. ease is in the most serious form 'here," said Dr. Bryan. Some of the victims are dying. There are a few scattered cases in Cochise county, but none near Pisbee. While 1 do not believe there is any cause for worry here, 1t would be the safes; plan for all residents to be sure that they are immune. would advise all persons who have not been vaccinat cd for the last three or four years to be innoculated at once.
 Health officials In Tucson seem to have the disease there pretty well under control. But the safest way to block the spread of smallpox Is for every man, woman and child to take every possible precaution against it .
