A leading firm in Georgetown telegraphs to-day *— . ‘Please contradict in to-day’s issue the malicious telegram from your Souris cor- respondent in reference to smallpox at Georgetown, There are no cares here. Kennedy, referred to in yesterday’s Kxam- rveR, lives at Montague Bridge and is not sick. Smallpox Scare in Souris. & Souris, Nov. 14. At a meeting of the Souris Board of Health held to-day it was decid djto request the Postmaster to fumigate all mail matter passing through Charlottetown Post Office; and, in view of the possible outbreak of smallpox, take possession of the empty Marine Hospital and prepare it for the reception of patients; also to enforce thor- ough cleansing of all premises within the precinct. No case of smallpox has developed here yet. The suspected house is strictly quarantined. A Remedy. A gentleman in the city furnishes the foMewing infallible remedy for both small- pox and scarlet fever: Sulphate of Zinc, 1 grain; Foxglove (digitalis), 1 grain ; > teaspoonful of sugar, ix with two tablespoonfuls of water. When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water, Take a tablespoonful every hour. For a child a smaller dose, according to age. Dr. Jeenner, regarding this says: ‘Hither disease will disappear in twelve hours. **Tf countries would compel their physi- cians to uee this, there would be no pest houses ‘If you value advice and experience, use this for that terrible disease,” NOTES. The parties suffering from smallpox are of the poor class, Therefore citizens wi'l be expected to contribute to their support, Parties having nouri hments, such as beef tes, jellies, ete., and who inte d making such douations, can leave them at a reom in the Cameron Block, where a man will be stati. ned to receive them to-morrow, from 10 o’clock till 12, and from 3 o'clock till 5 p. tm. We may state with reference to our report of yesterday that Thursday wes not the first visit of Dr. Jenkins to the Thomp- son family, On Sunday last Dr. Warbur- ton became suspicious of the disease, and invited Dr. Jenkins to see the patients. After examination Dr. Jenkins pronouuced the disease to be chi@ken pox. We understand that while the infected houses are well supplied with provisions, the other houses in the district, where no smallpox exists, are very badly off. Through some misundersten ling the watch- man is supplying only infected houses, al- though the Board of Health left orders at Pickard’s grocery for provisioning the whole isolated district. We learn that there are a very large nem- ber of persons in the infected district who have not been vaccinated, Why docs not the Heaith Officer provide for them being vaccinated at once? In Mrs. Breen s family, which is one of the isolated houses, none of the large family of children have been vaccinated, The Loeal Government, «t the request of the citizens committee have instructed Dr. Conroy to vaccinate all paupers free of charge. The classes in the Prince of Wales Col- lege will be discontinued for one week from this date, The Mic-Mac cure for smallpox, which was recommended by THE EXAMINER yesterday can beseen at Watson’s Drug Store, where orders will be taken for it. It will arrive next week. a On Vaccination. Tne following article appears in the Courier du Canada over the signature of N. E. Dioune, M.D. It is a timely adjunct to ‘Dr. Hingston’s invaluabie pamphlet on vaccination,” which has been endorsed by the medical profession of Montreal. [t forms a condensed supplementary epitome of things neces- sary to be known by every enquirer :-—- “At a time when nothing is spoken of but smpallpox it seems to me that it is proper to pub- lish ia following truths and precepts on which scientific men are all agreed, and on which Professor Fonssagrives thus speaks :— 1. That vaccination has saved, and still saves, an incalculable number of lives. 2. The number of blind and deaf persons has decreased considerably under the influence of vaccination, ; 3. Vaccination is a preservative of human beauty. 4. The indiscriminations to which vaccination has been subjected are forthe greatest part un- founded. 5, Vaccination is not at allu cause of weaken- ing the constitution or health, ; G. it has not increased the frequency of typhoid ever. 7. It does not increase the number of cases of consumption. 8, it does not transmit scrofula or skin diseases. 9, There is no danger from vaccination except in the hands of unskilful or careless persons. 10. The innoxiousness is so well established hat compulsory vaccination 1s enforcedin many countries, 11. Vaccinination is not infallible. 12. Re-vaccination is necessary when primary vaccination has left only incomplete scars, 13. The fact of an eruption from former small- pox does not dispense with the necessity for re- vaccination, 14. Re-vaccination should be practiced at 10 years, 20} ears and 40 years. 15. At above 40 years of age, re-vaccination a fourth time is only necezsary during a violent epidemic of smallpox. 16. Vaccinate as early as possible, 17, Vaccination may be practiced without in- convenience soon after birth, 18, Vaccination is equally successful at all seasons, 19. Dentition should not prevent vaccination in case of urgency. 20. Smallpox may occur at any agein persons who have not been vaccinated. 21. Vaccination and re-vaccination can only be properly performed by a medical man, 22. Vaccine virus well chosen entails no risk of transmitting other diseases. 23. Animal vaccine (bovine) has no advantage over well selected humanized vaccine. 24. Vaccine, well chosen from the cow, or cow- pox, should be carefully chosen to make the germ for human vaccination. 25. Living vaccine, from arm to arm, is always prefcrable to vaccine in tubes or plates. 26. All vaecine virus on points or plates withont a knowledge of its source should be avoided. 27. The value of vaccine virus should be in the following order: 1. Spontaneous cowpox; 2. Vaccination from arm to arm; 3. Humanized vaccine transplanted on calves; 4. Fresh pre- served vaccine, and from a sure source. 28. It is proper to make several incisions. 29. During the first five days after vaccination, the patient is susceptible to smal!pox infection. Vaccination is not weakened by taking lymph from a chi!d who has been vaccinated. 31. Revaccination follows the same general laws as a first revaccination. 32. There is every advantage, and no incon-! venience, from vaccinating or revaccinating dus. | ing the prevalence of an epidemic. verjone should be eeneiasok by reading the AMINER. NOVEMBE R14, 1885. ra a foregoing, that the arguments in favor of vaccina- tion far surpass the oa, conclusion, Since the passing of the law in England for free vaccination of children, from birth until ten years of age, the deaths have only been 160 per aunum to one miliion of souls, Before the dis- covery of vaccine, the deaths annually from smallpox were 3,000 to the million. The number was reduced to 779, from 1838 to 1840, before free vaccination was introduced. From 1841 to 1853 with free but not compulsory vaccination, it fel to 305. At the present time in England there are only one-sixteenth the number of smallpox cases that there were before the discovery of Dr. Jenner. In other countries where persons refuse to be vaccinated they are sequestrated, asin Austria ; or punished by fine and imprisonment, as in Hanover and Sweden; and in Prussia, Austria or Bavaria, marriages are not permitted when certi- ficates of vaccination cannot be produced.” Ne. 1 APPLES.
