More Small-pox

Two more cases of small-pox were reported to the health officer on Sunday, the victims being two your.g children of aMrs. Whitney, a wash-woman, who lives on the corner of öth and Madison ets. The neoessary precautions were at once adopted and everything done to prevent any further spread of the disease ifpossibie. The only exposure to which the children have known to be subjected was so slight and in such a roundabout manner that it hardly seems possible they could have contracted the disease in this manner. Before being taken down with the smallpox, Mr. Talley. the Alpha Delta Phi student, roomed at the house ofSecretary Wadp, on Monroe st., but had not glept there for a couple of nighta previom. On the Monday that Talley was taken down, Mts. Wade changed the bedding in his room and put it in the wnsb, and Mr?. Whitney being at Mrs. Wade's house, washed these clothes together with the family washing. Talley's disease was not pronoun-.ed small pox until after the washing had been done. The children were not near the house and the only explanaron is that Mrs. Whitney carried the germs in her clothes. The announcement that these children had the small-pox creatod quite a coturnotion in the first ward school, which they both attended. They had been to school as usual on Friday and even then complained of not feeling well. Every paient should see that their children are vacci nated at once. The two Whitnny children are doirg well and are having light cases, they haíin? been vaccinated last week.
