Of course, the discussion turned to the question of the smallpox epidemie, and vaccination. é 3 "I"should worry about the vacci- nation dispute," said one. 'I've had smallpox, so the subject has no ter- rors for me." ! Had smallpox! The rest of the party looked their surprise. What was it like? Where are the pock- marks? Did you have it bad? These and half a dozen "other" questions came thick and fast. "I had it right here in Toronto, and spent a month over at the Swiss Cottage Hospital over the Don," said the first speaker. '"'And I had it as bad as any of the others who were there at the time, and there were about ten, including men, wo- men, and children. As some of you fellows seem scared, I don't mind giving you a few pointers. "In the first place, don't be scared even if the doctor does tell you you have the disease. I remember when the doctor and Mr. Shutt, from the City Hall, came to the house and told me I had 'it." I had been ill about a week. For a couple of nights I was a little off my head, but nothing to speak of. I had a temperature, as the nurses call it, and had all the symptoms of a sharp fever. No one suspected smallpox until I was on my feet again. The doctor had not seen me for a couple of days, as he thought I was over the danger point, and it was only a case of getting strong again. "But that day--it was Saturday-- I telephone him that I had a sore spot in my mouth. That seemed to worry him, for he lost no time run- ning up. An hour later Mr. Shutt and the city doctor were on the job, and half an hour after that I was in the ambulance on the way to the Swiss Cottage. J ""Say--when they told me I had smallpox I felt as if my days were numbered. All I had ever read about the ravages of the scourge in olden times came to mind, and I as good as gave up the ghost. Honestly I had little hope of ever seeing home and mother again. I don't know when I was so scared in my life. "I was almost too weak to walk upstairs. But hope began to revive when I saw the ward and the other inmates. Believe me, they didn't look like corpses. There wasn't any- one in bed, and they had just finish- ed a substantial supper, as I could see from the trays the nurse was were playing checkers, others were reading, while in a corner a lively debate was under way. In fact, it was like any hospital ward where the patients were convalescent. I had pictured patients tied down to pre- vent them scratching at the pocks, and so on, but was most agreeably disappointed. r/o "But you haven't any marks your- self. What do they do? Did you have it bad?" ' "Yes, I had it as bad as anyone there--in fact, worse than some. As to marks, why, I didn't see one per- son leave that hospital disfigured in any way. As--for treatment, there was practically none, That is, noth- ing for the smallpox itself. There was the usual medicine given to pa- of nourishment, but no distinctively smallpox medicine. 'Every night we used to paint our 'spots' with vaseline. That was all the treatment they got, and it cer- tainly did relieve the itching. Some of us were marked from head to heel, and it was a long job to 'paint all the spots, but it certainly did help a lot. "Mind, I am not saying that small- pox is as pleasant as a picnic or church social. It isn't. But neither is it half, no, nor a quarter as bad as the average person thinks it is. I saw a little kiddie - brought in, whose mother had been down with the disease a week. The little fellow was as bright as a cricket. The nurse had all she could do to keep him in bed one whole «day, when he had a slight temperature. Then he sat up and played with his doll and other toys. That was the only day he spent in bed. y "It was a long wait until the little lumps under the skin disappeared. Long before that time we were as well as any dozen persons you could pick out on the streets. We used to count the spots every morning, and some of the fellows would quietly Tub away with a little pumice-stone they secured from somewhere. That didn't do any good, however, nature took her own course, and slowly the spots disappeared. When the last was down level, it was a case of get your clothes together, ready for disinfecting. Every stitch is sent to. the disinfecting chamber, where all: the germs are killed. Then, next; day, comes a good scrubbing in a bath of disinfectant, a shake hands with the doctor, and a good-bye to the hospital. "While I don't want any of my friends to contract smallpox, I would sooner see them down with that than a serious case of the flu, or diph- teria or typhoid fever. No doubt, in the good old days they had a worse form than we have at present, but if any of your fellows think that your death-warrant is signed if you are taken down with the smallpox, why, forget it. Arrange your affairs, if you can, for about five weeks, and then make up your mind that you are 0609000808903 588 », 1 The Quality Grocers Three Reasons a ' pra) 0 UO UAC ON, Why I should buy my goods at the Quality Grocers 1st.

There would seem but slight possibility that this great demand would not constant- ly increase. In short, there exists already a profitable market for all the certified Northern Ontario seed potatoes that are likely to be grown, and it would be a matter of common business sense to de- velop the industry as quickly as possible until Northern Ontario becomes one o fthe greatest seed potato centres on the continent. I trust, therefore, that you will make provision-to grow an ample acreage of see this year from the certified seed you have on hand from last year's crop. Arrange- ments have 'been made for your crop to be inspected at blossoming time and again after the potatoes are dug, as they were last year. This inspection is given free of charge by the Federal Division of Botany, experiental farm, Ottawa, in co-operation with the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. In order to secure this inspection} however, you must send in your name to D. Frejd, local represen- tative, or to Chas. Norgate, not later than June 23rd. As you can I readily understand, it is not pos- sible for the inspectors to - visit each farmer in the North to learn whether or not he wishes inspec- tion. The se .son is short and our inspectors few--therefore they, must know ahead of time exactly whom to visit. Please don not negiect this matter: send in your application at once.
