Easily traceable to an exposure
from cases already reported and in
territory from which cases might
readily be expected, two additions
were made to the population OF the

of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Adamson, OF
1104 Fourteenth street and the other
was Billy Huish nine year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hush OF
1909 Fifth street. Both patients,
according to the health authorities
were easy OF determination from the
appearances, there being well defined
pustules in each case.
The Adamson case can readily be
traced to the exposure, jnat family
and the family of d. G.. Brodie, quar-
antined two days before, being related
but the Hush case is said not to be
so easy TO explain, although the
medical attendant believes the ex-
posllre has peen traced.
There was q considerable let up on

city health office yesterday and with
that it was accepted that the large
majority OF people OF the city either
had been vaccinated prior to the

day make a total of Is that had been
definitely classed as that disease, and
with a couple OF other cases that are
under observation are all that have
been discovered 1t is the firm belief
of all working to control the situation
that the peak has been passed and
that while there may be few more
cases develop, they Will, it is expected.
