NEW SMALLPOXOUTBREAK
SHOWS VACCINATION NEED
Have Been 100000 Cases in U.
S. in Last 10 Years

Following the discovery of two
cases of smallpox, a few days ago,
among colored people who have re-
Gently moved to Baltimore, all per-
sons who have been in contact with
them were vaccinated, and a general
warning has been issued to all I'M
vaccinated persons of the ever pres
ent danger of contracting the disease,
by the Health Commissioner of Balti-
more City, DR.. c. Hampson Jones.
When asked SIS smallpox decreas-
ing?' DR.. R. H. Riley, chief of the Blu
reau of Communicable Diseases of
the State Department of Health, ans
wered, "There have been 100000
cases of smallpox in the United States
in the last three years; 100000 cases
in the last ten years. There are more
cases of smallpox in the United
States every year than in any part of
the world except parts of India, and
there is always danger of the disease
fiaring up in unvaccinated communi-
ties in this country.
"In 1926" he continued, "the last
year for which there are complete
returns, there were 30,450 cases of
smallpox throughout the United
States with $50 deaths. This was an
improvement over 1925 when there
were 39,639 cases, and over 1924
when there were 55,53S cases."
Asked about Maryland's share in
tnese totals, DR.. Riley said: "Mary-
land has one of the best vaccination
laws in the country and the majority
of the people in the State have CO.
operated willingly and intelligently
with county, city and state depart
ments of health in conforming with
the law. Therefore Maryland's con-
tributions to these tremendous totals
have been slight compared with those
from other States. Over against the
100000 cases throughout the United
States in the last three years, Mary
Ian has had 80 cases, 16 in the coun-
ties and Ia in Baltimore City.
every case of smallpox that oc-
ours is regarded as a potential cpl
demic and is treated as such and an
effort is made to find and vaccinate
every individual who has been in con-
taos with the patient. In addition to
making provision for emergency
measures, our Maryland law requires
every child to be protected against
smallpox by vaccination before he or

eve can picture what could and
probably would happen if our health
officers were lax in the administration
of this law, by observing what hap
pens in other communities which do
not avail themselves of this means of
protection. Take Nebraska, which
has a population of approximately
100000 less than Maryland, as an ex-
ample. Recent reports from that
State show that they had 806 cases of
smallpox in 1925, and SOL in 1926.
"In these days of unlimited travel
by every imaginable means of trans
portation, disease knows no boun-
diaries. Nobody can afford to take
chances on smallpox. Vaccination
has stamped out the disease wherever
it has been Systematically practiced.
Our Maryland record proves that
it pays to be vaccinated'
