Small-pox Dangerou and Contagious
Disease.
Now that one young man, who was
not vaccinated, has died In Reynolds
vllle from small-pox, perhaps -people
will not think It Is a disease to trifle
with and will not bo so careless about
getting vaccinated. What few cases
we have had In Roynnltlsvlllo have been
In such a mild form thBt It has not been
considered of a very dangerous nature.
We were handuLa pamphlot the other
day, wrlttifrlrora tho highest stand
point of the sanitary authority, In
Which It is stated that people some
times erroneously call small-pox Cuban
ttch and Puorto Wean chicken-pox.
This same pamphlet states :
"Small-pox Is one of tho most highly
contagious and dangerous diseases
which afflict mankind. Brforo tho pro
tective power of vaccination was known,
small-pox caused one-tenth of all deaths
of the human raco and one-third of all
deaths under ten years of apo. The
great change which has been wrought
during the past century In tho charac
ter of this disease and In the number of
persons attacked by It, Is due to tho in
fluenco of vaccination, for which tho
world la Indebted to Edward Jenner,
who performed the first vaccination on
human being on May 4, 17SW. The
contagion of small -pox may be communi
cated from one person to another by
ctual contact, or It may bo carried
through the air of the room or from
place to place by moans of Infected
clothing, bedding, merchandise, Mtors,
etc., or by an article which may have
beon Infected. In more recent times it
has been noticed thht In all probability
small-pox may be carried by meuns of
Bios or other insects, by tholr picking
up the contagion exiting in tho se
cretions and excrol ions of the body, and
In the exhalation from tho lungs and
skin."
The above seems to make it plain that
every person should got vaccinated.
Surely people should use all precautions
and preventatives against this loath
some, dreaded and contagious dlHoaso.
A very bad case of small-pox may Ikj
communicated to some other portion
from a mild case, therefore, persons
who are unfortunate enough to get the
disease, even In a mild form, should bo
willing to submit to all precautions
necessary so that they may not be tho
moans of communicating tho disease to
a nolghbor.
