GUARD AGAINST THIS DISEASE,
Great Danger of Spread of Smallpox
Likely.
Not a few citizens of Amerious are
apprehensive that smallpox, which now
is said to exist in Maoon county, may
ultimately be brought hue. It oonld
easily be done, ae there are no precan
tionary measures against its spread
this way, and no one now oconpylng
the position of olty physician in tho
event £ case should develop here.
'‘Sufficient until |the day is the evil
thereof” doubtless,, think tbe authori
ties, and they, like the king, can do no
wrong. It is sincerely to be hoped
that Americas may be spared a visita
tion of this loathsome disease, .though
the outlook ie none too reassuring.

form all food into rieb, red blood. W.
