WAKXJNO AGAINST SMALLPOX

To Tbe People or Kentucky

It Is the duty of this Board to warnyou of the danger of a widespread epl

ilernic of smallpox Although stamp ¬

ed out over and over again it has beenalmost constantly imported from other States where less care was observed

and because so many of our more ig-

norant¬

people are unprotected by vac-

cination and so many fiscal courtshave failed to provide hospitals for theproper isolation and management of

first cases the disease now exists Inmany widely separted comities andeverywhere shows a disposition tobreak over control and assume an epi ¬

demic form-

Business people afflicted familiesand other for obvious reasons oftenattempt to make the impression thatthe disease is so mild as to be unim ¬

portant but it is due that the publicshould know that this is not true Itis gradually growing more severe tooand deaths from it are often concealedor attributed to other causes It shouldbe known also that there are no suchdiseases as Elephant Itch AfricanItchor Cuban Itch and that ev-

ery

¬

case investigated by this Board In

the past five years which had been di-

agnosed

¬

by ignorant physicians andpeople was found to be genuine small ¬

pox

In Germany and other countrieswhere vaccination is universal small-pox

¬

is practically unknown If every

citizen of Kentucky at once obeyed

the plain letter of the law and badhimself and every one for whom he isresponsible vaccinated this loathsomedisease which has entailed so muchexpense on our taxpayers and so

much loss and derangement of busi-

ness

¬

would permanently disappearfrom our borders within the next six

weeksVaccinationproperly done with

fresh virus is a perfect protectionagainst smallpox and is entirely freefrom danger Persons thoroughlyvaccinated will not take the disease Inany form even when directly exposedto it It is an Important operation asimperfect vaccination will only give afalse sense of security The virusshould always be inserted at not lessthree points on the well cleaned armabout an inch and a half apart andthe physicians hand should be cleanwhen he begins the work The threepoints of Insertion causes less sorenessand gives far greater protection Hu-

manized virus is preferable Where itIcan be obtainedfrom healthy childrenand younir people beiugmore certainto take causing less local and constitutional disturbance and giving morepermanent protection The crusadeagainst the use of this virus has beenalmost entirely commercial and thetime has come for It to end Physicians competent to do vaccinationknow the healthy families and chil¬

dren in their practice and should haveno difficulty in obtaining ample sup-plies if vaccination is kept up regular-ly

¬

as should be done The bovine virus on the market is pure but it soonbecomes inert unless kept cool and ex ¬

cept for Its convenience and for start ¬

ing a supply has no advantages

As a large element of our populationwhite and black will delay or evadevaccination fiscal courts and countyhealth oflicials are urged to provideeruptive hospitals where those afflicted frith the disease may be humanelycared for with safety to tbeicommnnlty and with the least possible inter ¬

ference with business The antiqua ¬

ted method of quarantining an entirefamily because one of its members hassmallpox is almost inhuman besidesbeing the worst formoffalse economy

and yet the parsimony of many of ourfiscal courts has left their health au¬

thorities no other alternative

Reader will you have yourself andeveryone dependent on you vaccinatedat once and urge the same measureupon your neighbors <

ENTUCKYS EXHIBIT

The Fiscal Court of Jefferson countyhas appropriated 93000 toward thefund for a Kentucky building and ex ¬

hibit of the States resources and pro-

ducts at the Worlds Fair InSt Louisnext year This action was takenunanimously at the meeting of thebody In Louisvillle on February 3rd

A delegation from the Kentucky Ex¬

hibit Association appeared before thecourt and explained the objects of theorganization When one of the mag¬

istrates asked how much would be ex-

pected¬

of the body it was stated thatin the opinion of the delegation 82

000 would be little enough A mem¬

ber of the Court Immediately movedan appropriation of 3000 and withoutargument this sum was voted Onthe same day the Fiscal Court of Car¬

roll county appropriated 8200 for thesame purpose The matter of askingother Fiscal Courts to take a similarstep is now under consideration by anumber of auxiliaries of the KentuckyExhibit Association In different partsof the State The plan of raising apart of the 100000 fund in this man¬

ner was first suggested to President AY Ford of the Association by sever¬

al county judges and wherever theproposition has been made It has methearty endorsement In several coun¬

ties the matter will be brought up atthe next meeting of their fiscal courtsIt has been the hope of the ExhibitAssociation to secure from each coun ¬

ty in the State a sum about equal towhat that county would have had topay had the Legislature made an app-

ropriation of 8100000 This amountin every instance would come it is ex ¬

pected from the fiscal court approprI-

reputation as a slayer of men andsome of his followers all men of viol-ence are followed and befriended by

others who are afraid of themcredit-ed

ment¬

Kinser claimed Lodgen owedhim a balance of 8250 while Lodgenmaintained that he was due him onlyjninety cents Kinser while drunkwent to the distillery and demandedthe 8250 be claimed was due him atthe same time cursing Lodgen andswearing he would have the money orLodgens blood before he left Lodgenwent to the home of Dr C RWilson near by where he borroweda shotgun to kill a squirrel for hismother so he said Returning to thestlllhouse he informed Kinser that hewas now on equal footing with himand if he wanted to curse him any-

more to do so Kinser apologized butkept hanging around mouthing aboutthe 8250 and while the two men were

alone in the stlllhouse Lodgen shot atKinser first with a pistol and thenpicked up a shotgun and tired Oneload entered Kinsers groin the otherhis wrist and hand
