THE SMALLPOX.

NEW CASES,

Since Saturday the following new cases have developed :

——MeTague, Davy's Lane.

Wm. Bell, son of John Bell, truckman, Lower Spring Park Road.

A girl named Doirant (about 15 years of age). FitzRoy Street.

Mr. Madden, Long Street.

Emily Sheppard, West Bog,

Miss O'Neill, Euston Street.

James Hennessey, Davy's Lane.

Joseph W. Mitchell, Euston Street,

Lucy Callaghan, Kent Street.

Pemphraise, Victoria, Crapaud.

Two children of Mr. Tynan, Long St.

A child of McPherson, Long Street. Bourke, son of Michael Bourke, Georgetown, second mate of Bark Lucy Pepe.

Malcolm Steele, policeman.

Louisa Hawkine, Hillsborough Square.

DEATHS.

Since our issve of Saturday, four deaths occurred in the Hospital, viz. : John Fer- guson, horse dealer, who died yesterday at noon. He was 25 years of age, and son of Mr. William Ferguson, Ferguson’s saw mills, Lot 48 Mrs. Nognan, wife of Thomas Noonan, laborer, also died, Mrs. O'Hare, mother of the girl who died at the Hospital on Saturay, and a child of Mr. Neil McCallum.

Of the cases that died in the Hospital, Katie Gunn’s was complicated with metro- hemorrhage. Miss Way, who died shortly after admission, was a case of the same pature. In neither of these cases was the smallpox eruption serious, The case of Mr. Way, who died on Saturday, was com- plicated with hae maturia and br nehitis. Miss O'Hare, who also died on Saturday, had been suffering some time previously with dropsy. John Ferguson’s case, who died on Sunday, was not an unfavorable one until congestion of the brain, resulting in effusion, supervened and carried him off suddenly.

THE LUCY POPE.

A case having developed on board the Lucy Pope, lying at Railway wharf, the patient was removed to the quarantine hospital, and the rest of the crew were promptly isolated in a house at Keppock. The vessel has since been thoroughiy fumi- gated, and pronounced free from the dis- ease. A new crew will be shipped and loading will continue te-morrow.

VACCINATION.

At a meeting of the Citizens’ Committee, held this afternoon, F T. Newbery, Esq., in the chair, it was decided to take steps to enforce the vaccination of everyone in the town. The Government will be asked to appoint additional! vaccinators, and every house will be visited by members of the Committee to obtain information as to vac- cination, &c.

LINENS REQUIRED.

The Citizens’ Committee will be glad to receive old linen, night-clothes, shirts, etc. These are very much required at the Hospital.$

FROM SOURIS.

From a reliable source we learn that the excitement at Souris, caused by the out- break of smallpox there, is subsiding. All the precautionary measures, however, taken by the Local Board of Health are continued in full force. Nearly every one in the village is now vaccinated. The hotel keep- ers have been cautioned, and liquor sellers to at once stop selling. The Board of Health meets every : ight at 8 o'clock, in the Court House. At their last meeting it was resolved that the Health Officer be in- etrncted to goon board all vessels arriving from the ports of Georgetown, Clarict e- town, Pictou, Sydney, Halifax, St. John’s, Newfoundland, Quebec and Montreal, be- fore they be allowed to come to a wharf ; and that Captains of all vessels coming to this port shell be required to report to the Health Officer, through the Preventive Officer in charge, before entering at the Customs. It was also resolved that for the present all travelling agents be prevented from opening their samples in Souris. Other business of a lecal character was attended to. The Board is determined to use every means to prevent the spread of the disease, and so far their efforts have been successful. There is but one case yet —the Welsh girl—who is comfortably quar- tered at the Marine Hospital. The other suspected cases turned out to be chicken- pox. To prevent all mistakes however, the house where they are is “flagged,” and the inmates isolated. It will be properly disinfected and fumigated before the flag is taken down.

BOARD OF HEALTH AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE,

A meeting of the residents of Cardigan Bridge was held in the shoolhouse on Saturday the 21st Nov., at 7 o’clock, p. m., for the purpose of taking steps for prevent- ing the contagious epidemic, row raging in Charlottetown, getting a hold in this Vicinity,

On motion, Rev. Mr. Gillies was appoint- ed chairman, and the subscriber socretary of the meeting. W. P. Lewis, Esq., in- formed the meeting that he had been ad- vised by a letter from the Attorney General, Hon. W. W. Sullivan, that a Board of Health, consisting of Wm. P. Lewis, Jas. E. McDonald, D. C. Morson, Geo. F. Owen, and Donald Stewart, had been appointed for this district, and that Dr. Walker had been appointed superin- tendent of vaccination for Lots 53, 54 and 55. The names of those forming the Board were unanimously approved of, and it was resolved that this meeting recommend the appointment of the following residents to act in conjunction with those already ap- pointed, viz.: John G. Scrimgeour, Hugh L. Macdonald, John J. Campbell, Duncan McLaren and Donald Sigsworth.

O% motion of Donald Stewart, Esq., seconded by Mr. Alexander McLean, the Secretary of the meeting was requested to forward to the Governor in Council the names - anaer who had been re- commended as fit and proper persons to added to the Board of Health. :

It was also resolved that this meeting urgently requests all inhabitants of the dis- trict to have vaccination performed on all members of their familics at the earliest possible date.

It was moved hy H L. McDonald and oo by a G. Serimeeour, and car-

*¢ unanimously, that the Board of Health

fur thts distrivt be asked to tuke dumvilliate

steps for providing a place in which patients suffering from smallpox may bo isolated in case such should be required.

A vote of thanks was tendered the Chair- man, and the meeting dispersed, all hoping that through the energy of the Board of Health every precaution will be taken to prevent infected persons from stopping at this place.

Grorce F. Owen, Secretary. Cardigan Bridge, 21st Nov., 1885.

BOARD OF HEALTH,

At a meeting of the Board held this morning at 10 30 o’clock, there were pres- ent, Henry Beer, E-q., Chairman, Messrs. Douso, MeRae, Haszard, Davy, Kelly, Curtis and Crabbe.

The Chairman informed the Board that he had called them together to consider some very important matters, such as sup- plies for Hospital, proper watchmen for infected districts, etc. On motion, these matters were left in the hands of a Com- mittee.

On motion of Mr. Haszard, seconded by Mr. Curtis, the following was carried :

Ordered by this Board—that for the future no patient shall be admitted to the smallpox Hospital except on the order of the Mayor as Chairman of the Board of Health;

Further Ordered, That one ot more of the Health Officers of this city remain in the Hos- pital, making full reports daily to the Health Officer, Dr. Johnson, at the Board of Heaith Office, who shall duly make all necessary reports to the Board of Heaith ;

Further Ordered, That all Health Officers doing duty inthe city make their reports to Dr. Johnson at the Board of Health office.

On motion it was ordered that a copy be sent to the keeper of the Hospital, and each Health Officer.

Board adjourned.

A SUGGESTION BY DR. WARBURTON,

Srr,--1 would suggest that in every school throughout the Island, not only the children attending should be vaccinat- ed, but also their parents and those younger and elder, who are not attending should be vaccinated. Appoint a day and have the nearest doctor come to the school to vaccin- aie. Then give the children two or three weeks vacation. Although the disease may not spread through the Island, it has broken out in several places and vaccination is the greatest safeguard, as after successful vaccination there is very little danger from the disease.

DR. WARBURTON’S STATEMENT.

Sir.—In your issue of Saturday, 21st inst., there is a statement from Capt Andersop, of the steamer Bonavista, in which he states: ‘* The acting Quarantine Officer, Dr. Warburton, came on board immediately. He asked if we had any passengers? I said, ‘No saloon; two steeragea woman and a child’” The above ia not correct. I asked the captain if he had any passengers, He said ‘‘ No”; and further, in the presence of George Peake} Ezq., the agent, he said ‘ No,” and that it was the first time he left Montreal without any. Further on Capt. Anderson says the child took sick on its way to Pic- tou, and on his arrival there be sent for Dr. McMillan to see the child. If the child was sick when the steamer arrived in Pictou, it appears rather strange that it was not reporied to Dr. Kirkwood, Quaran- tine Officer.

James WARBURTON, Acting Quarantine Officer.

DENIAL,

S1r,— Having been asked by several per- sons, and also having heard myself t e re- port circulated through the city that I was present at the recent ‘‘ wake,” I deem it necessary in this way to assert that the above is false and without foundation. I might also mention that, while agreeing with the sentiments expressed in the letter of ** Catholic,” in Tue Examiner of the 20th inst., E think he covld well have left out the paragraph in which he refers to per- sons attending the late ‘‘wake” from whom better things should be expected. Now, as some of the parties who, it is alleged, were present have not had achance yet to give their statement, people should be very cav- tious and have proof positive before making or repeating such reports.

Jonn F, Waear.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Sizn,— As the Almighty in His wisdom has thought fit to visit us with the fearful] scourge of smallpox,and as strenuous efforts are being made by the Board of Health and the citizens generally, to care for the com- fort of patienis now afflicted. Would it not be well for afew of our leading men to make another step in advance and provide for others who may at any moment be stricken down by the epidemic? I would respectfully suggest, as this is not a time to consider dollars and cents, that a company be formed to treat with Mr. Wellner for the purchase of the premises known as the Franklin House, which for situation, and being a clean, wholesoine house, would be a most suitable place, and patients would not feel a dread of being taken to an unsuitable situation. I feel satisfied wo have public-spirited men enough in our midsi, who wiil give this suggestion from me, thrown out in the cause of common humanity, due considera- tion, and if they take the same view which I do of this matter, it will not be long before public confidence will, to a large extent, be restored, and a suitable place provided, at a small cost, to each indi- vidual who may contribute to this, in my opinion, very necessary undertaking. If it is not possible to procure suitable nurses on the Island, let thew be advertized for— brovght from the other Provinces.

Freperick W. Huaues.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE,

Sir,—Only a few lines wherein to take exception to the peculiar attack made upon Tue Examiner inthe Patriot of to-day. Despite your late forcible and pertinent editorial regarding ‘*Sensational Para- graphs” the belated individual signing him- self ‘‘T” insists upon urging his silly and unfounded charges. Instead of unduly alarming the public mind, cur daily news- papers are an undoubted source of comfort, for from them we learn the correct state of affairs. Woe to us! had we only appear- ances, or street twaddle, or social gossip to rely upon. Further, had the notes of alarm, sounded by THe EXaMINER over a month ago, been attended to, and the most important advice therein tendered acted upon, there would be few sore arms, and still fewer anxious hearts in our city

at the present time, Editors are not gener- ally the recipients of unbounded gratitude; but, io the Gtreful calamity which bas over-

taken us, (a calamity which is too serious to be made the excuse for envious and spiteful attacks), if we have reason to be proud of our Health Officers, and all im- mediately concerned in keeping down the plague, we have also much reason to feel proud of the conductors of our daily jour- nals, who, under great difficulties, attempt to convey to us the truth. Vox Porvutt.

Nov. 21st, 1885. NOTES.

The Provincial poor house is,until further notice, closed to visitors,

Several nurses are required for the Hos- pital and for patients in the city,

Watson’s Drug Store will be connected with the Telephone Exchange after this afternoon.

Two families who moved from the city to Hunter River, on Saturday, have been quarantined at that place.

A citizen suggests that a flag, different to the one placedon infected houses, be placed on suspected houses.

The quarantine flag having been removed from the City Hotel corner, Bagnall & Robins have reopened their oilice.

Owing to the existence of smallpox, Sevator Howlan has decided to discontinue the Subway meotings far the presvut.

Rev. Mr. O'Meara, who was indisposed yesterday as a result of vaccination and his labors in the infected district, is all right again to-day.

All persons presenting themselves at the Vaccination Office, corner of Water and Great George Streets, will be vaccinated free of charge.

The article on Cow-pox published in another column is from the pen of an emi- nent physician of the mother country. It will be specially interesting now that the bulk of our population are suffering with the disease as a result of recent vaccination.

Mr. J. W. Mitchell, of Toe Examiver, has, the doctor says, a very light attack of the disease, and is being nursed at his own home. ‘Tux * xaMINER Office was fumigated from 4 o'clock yesterday until this morning The papers issued to-day are saturated with diluted carbolic acid.

The Cow Pox.

ae

Cow Pox'is the disease affecting the cow, which, transferred to the human subject, confers in the majority of cases immunity from attacks of smallpox; and in those in which it does not give complete protection, renders the attack of that usually virulent disease comparatively mild. Cow pox shows itself upon the teats of the cow in the form of bluish or livid-looking vesicles, surrounded by a ring of inflammation, whilst at the same time the animals are feverish and the milk diminished. At first the vesicles contain clear fluid, but ulti- mately become pustular, or filled with matter. The cow is liable to otaer forms of pustular disease affecting the teat , but they do not present the same characters, nor follow the same course as the genuine cow pox: which is, moreover, a constitu- tional disease, sometimes extremely severe, and even fatal to the animals.

The name of Dr. Jenner, who discovered this inestimable boon, and introduced the practice of vaccination—as the inoculation of cow-pox matter is termed—must be known to all. His attention was first directed to the subject from the known cir- cumstence that when the cow-pox had pre- vailed among the cows of a particular dis- trict or farm, many of those connected with the managemeut of the animals like- wise became affected with the disease, and therefrom a certain number were

PROTECTED AGAINST SMALLPOX.

The value of this {circumstance seemed at first to be materially impaired by the fact that the protec- tion was neither universal nor certain, until the investigations of Dr. Jenner made it clear that the protection or non-protection depended upon the stage which the disease had attained in the animal at the time it was contracted by the human attendant ; that is to say, if the vaccine disease ad vanced into the stage of maturation, or that in whieh the contents of the vesicle, which forms the outward manifestation, had become converted from a limpid-look- ing fiuid into matter, although sores were produced upon the hands of the milk- ers, that certain protection was not afforded which ensued when the sores were produced by the fluid from the vesicle in an earlier stage.

Following up his investigations, Dr. Jenner demonstrated that when the human subject was properly inoculated with virus taken from the cowpox vesicle, at the pro: per stage of ifs progress, and when in consequence of that inoculation, the disease was regularly produced, snd went through its proper stages, both locally and consti- tutionally, the individual thus affected was thenceforth all but certainly protected from | the contagion of smallpox. Thess circum- stances cal] for particular attention at the preseut time, when the value cf vaccination and its protective power is becoming much disputed. It is unquestionable, that within the last few years, sinallpox has prevailed rouch more extensively and been more fatal than was the casa some time previously; also, that many persons who had been vaccinated have taken the disease, and that a certain proportion of that number have died from it. As regards the complete pro- tection of every individua) whois vaccinat- ed egainst the contagion of smal!pox, it could fnever be expected, for the simple reason that one attack of smal!poxis not in every case a security that the disease may not be ‘contracted a second time; for ale! thongh in the eruptive fevers general'y, as weil as insmalipox, the general rule is one attack in a life time, it by no meana invari- ably holds good, and it is unreasonabie to look for more from cowpox than we find in the analogous cases already alluded to. Admitting, then, that certain exceptional instances may fairly be expectéd in which the most perfectly developed cowpox will not protect against smallpex, even in its most fatal form, it becomes a question how far its protection really extends, and whe- ther, from some cause or other, its influence has not been diminished since the early days of its introduction. Many are in- clined to this opinion on account of the recent epidemics of smelipox which have prevailed in various districte ; but it will reguire much stronger evidence of the fact

then has ever yet been produced to justify, as some would have it, the abandonment of

vasciustion, aod the revurrenve 1 ipvoula-

tion for smallpox. One thing is certain, that Dr. Jenner, strongly alive to the cir- cun etance thit milkers inovulated with the genuine cowpox were not protected by it if the disease had passed a certain stage, both practised and insisted upon the practice, as a condition necessary for success, that the same law should be had regard to in the transference of the matter from one human subject to another, It must be asked :

HAS THIS PRECAUTION BEEN OBSERVED

in the cases of those who have proved to be insufficiently protected. It may, or may not, have been the case; but there is some reason to expect that among the thousands and millions who have undergone vaccin- ation, a certain proportion have thus been lulled by the semblance of protection, which was no protection at ail. Again, it is an ascertained fact, that the presence of other diso ders materially interferes with the regular progress and perfect development of cowpox; and thus there is introduced an- other element of fallacy and of failure; and lastly, are there not those who have been vaccinated, but in whom the disease, owing to a constitutional peculiarity, or insuttici- ent performance of the vaccinating process, has either been irregularly developed or not at all, but who nevertheless rank among the vaccinated ? With all these sources of failure, it cannot be matter of surprise that a proceeding to which is confided the protection of miliions against so active an enemy as smallpox, should in a certain proportion of instances fail, still less so, when it is reflacted, that amid the various hands to which its performance is entrusted, some will prove careless, nay, that it is not unfrequently performed by those who are ig orant of the distinctive characters of the true cowpox disease. This is not said in condemnation » the perfermance of vaccination by non-professional persons, under peculiar circumstances, for in many cases it has proved, and must prove, of the most essential benefit, but still they cannot be expected to distinguish accurately an irregular development from one which is the reverse,

The most interesting recent fact con- nected with the history of vaccination, and one which throws light upon its constitu- tional influence, has been elicited by the experiments of Mr. Ceely, of Aylesbury, which prove

THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO DISEASES, COW

POX AND SMALLPOX,

and that their apparent difference depends upon their modification by the annual con- stitution; in other words, that by taking the matter from a patient laboring under smallpox, and therewith inceslating a cow, the genuine cowpox was produced, and thus that by its prssage through the constitution of the cow, the former virulent disease is deprived of its virulent aud fatal character, and converted into a mild and perfectly safe disorder, and equally important, de- prived of its contagious property, otherwise than as it can be communicated from one person to another by direct introduction of its tangible virus into the blood,

VACCINATION,

Ail that is requisite for the process of vaccination is the contact of the virus with the true skin, which, of course, is done by piercing through the upper or scarf skin; this may be effected without pain, sufficient to make an infant cry,by a series of scratches crossing one another,continued till theslight- est exudation of colored serym takes place. The course of the vaccine disease is gener- ally aregular one. About the third day after the insertion of the lymph, the spots appear slightly elevated and inflamed, like small pimples ; on the filth, each has a per- ceptible vesicle upon it, which continues enlarging until, about the eighth day, it assumes its perfectly developed characteris- tic form—that of a circular vesicle, with depression in the centre, At this period it contains a transparent ‘‘ lymph,”’ and it is surmounted by a_ perceptible blush or ‘* areold,” the vesicle itself looking pearly or yellowish. By the tenth day the lymph has become changed into matter, and the vesicle looks more opaque and darker; the areold of inflammation bas much extended, the affected skia feels hot and hard, and is sometimes covered with minute blisters. After the eleventh day the areold begins to fade, the vesicie darkens still more in color, becomes Grier and shrivelled, and finally assumes tle form of a dark chocolate brown scab, which separates somewhere about the twenty-first day, leaving the skin healed, but permanently marked with the impres- sion of the vesicle, and witha number of little pits. Occasionally the process does not go on quite so regularly; four, five or six days may elapse before the points of insertion inflame; and it may be the tenth or eleventh before the vesicle is fully formed, On the other hand, it may advance so quickly as to be well advanced on he seventh day. Thes- differences are chiefly due to constitution, In a weakly child the process is apt to be delayed, and dice versa. The constitutional symptoms also vary, but generally are pal- pable about the eighth day. The child is fretful and feverish and continues go, more or less, for three or four days. With- out the evidence of constitutional disturb- ance, the protection cannot be calculated on as complete.

The managoment during the progress of the vaccine disease is very simple, the prin- cipal being the protection of the visicles from injury, either by rubbing or by the dress. A piece of soft linen should be placed upon them on the fiftii day. If the inflammation of the arm is severe, as some- times happens, a cold poultice of bread and water should be applied. A little goulard water will allay the after irritation, if troublesome, A dose of some simple aper- ient, castor oil or senna, should be given onthe tenth or eleventh day, and repeated once or twice afterwards, Care should be taken that the scabs are not for- cibly detached, otherwise a sore, sometimes difficult to heal, may be the consequence, Sometimes this wili happen in spite of all precautions in children of a scrofulous habit, and a troublesome ulcer forms. [t may be dressed with cvld cream, or simple water dressing, or may require a weak astringent lotion, such as two grains of the sulphate of gine to the ounce of water.

RE-VACOCINATION,

The question of re-vaccination is much’ mooted, Ifthe process has been properly passed through in early life there can be no possible necessity for ita repetiiion before puberty; but after that period, during which the constitution undergoes consider. able change, it is an expedient preosution-

ery measure which ouvht to be resorted to. The process of a second vavcination is very

Giivrvnt frum that of a first being i

in every way, sometimes causing the slightest degree of irritation, at other times giving rise to rapid, almost eryeipelatous inflammation cf tae arm. When it takes effect, it usually occasions slight feverish symptoms, loss of appetite and head aches for a week or two. A dosé Or two of aperient medicine should be taken when these symptoms are passing away. The virus of a second vaccination is quite in- efficient and shou'd never be taken. ;
