Don't!

Dr. Batwell, of Ypsilanti, in an interesting article on vaccination announces his positive conviction that the person who has successfully passed through the various stages of vaccination is as safe from sraallpox as though he had had the disease. He also believes that the disease is not communicable before the eruptive stage and argües from this, that none who were in contact with Harris, before he was sent to the quarantine are likely on that account to have smallpox. This, however, is not intended to encourage an unvaccinated person, in the Abrahamic custorn of greeting, under certaincircumstances; therefore, if you meet a colored friend, in the first stages of smallpox, do not fall on his neck and kiss him on both cheeks. He may be loaded.
