communicable disease immediately
to the department's township health

county medical inspectors ot the
department.
I he board also adopted the fol
lowing resolution with reference to
the vaccination of school children:
"That in the opinion of the ad
visory board and the commissioner
of health, a person who has had
the operation for vaccination faith
fully performed three tunes at in
tervals of two successive weeks,
without success, is for the. time be
ing immune from smallpox, and
further, that under the present law
persons who have a written certin
cate from a registered physician
that two such attempts to vaccinate
were faithfully performed aud

of the State Department ot Health
or of a board of bureau of health
or sanitary committee of a city or
borough, may be admitted to

A GREAT OFFER
For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their . subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number, will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
