Judging from past experience diarrhea lias now reached about its least prevalence, but remittent fever raay be expected to still further decline during the next bree months. Special reports have been received of mall-pox at St. Joseph, Bernen county, ind in Bingham and Leelanaw townships, eelanaw countj'. Thedisease wasbrought o St. Joseph from Chicago. In Leelanaw county it began with two Indians whoconracted it at Traverse City while loading a vessel with wood. One case of small-pox at Albion is reported November 20, 1881. Jecause small-pox may be brought to any ocality at any time by immigrants or ravelers it is prudent for all persons to eek protection by vaccination or revacci ïation with pure bovine virus.
