The Man Who Had Measles Got Smallpox In Pest House

Pliny B. Harding, of N. Fifth Avenue, has the smallpox. He is the insurance agent who was taken to the pest house two or three weeks ago with the bad case of the measles, under the mistaken belief that he had the smallpox, and confined in the same room and within a few feet of Mr. Lamb, who had a genuine case of smallpox. When it was discovered that he had the measles, he was taken back to his home. He gradually recovered from the measles, and his little daughter also got the measles. Last week he was out for the first time and came up town, getting a hair-cut and a shave. Last Friday symptoms of smallpox developed and they grew more marked today, the smallpox eruptions appearing.
