Vaccination for smallpox will be offered to children of school and preschool age at the public school gymnasium at 9:30 o'clock on the morning of April 20. Charge, 50 cents. The seriousness of smallpox, before the advent of vaccination, can hardly be exaggerated. "One-fourth of mankind," said a French physician in 1754, "is either killed by smallpox or crippled or disfigured for life." In the 18th century half pf all deaths of children, uai)etf* ftve, are gaid to have resulted from smallpox. The smallpox was always present, filling the churchyard with corpses, tormenting with constant fears all whom it had not stricken, leaving on those whose lives it spared the hideous traces of its power, turning the babe into a changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of the betrothed maiden objects of horror to the lover. The early colonists in America suffered severely, Smallpox did more to hinder the growth of Massachusetts colony than "Indian raids, foreign wars, or any general calamity." All this was changed by the discovery of Edward Jemer, an English physician of the 18th century. Jemer became interested in the popular notion that dairy maids who contracted cowpox from milking cows never took smallpox. The great idea came to him that cowpox might be a very mild form of smallpox, which Would give immunity to the latter disease. In 1796 he transferred, to the skin of a boy, some vaccine matter from the hand of a dairy maid, who was suffering from cowpox. Then later he inoculated the boy with true smallpox. The boy remained well. The principle of vaccination had been discovered. The modern method of vaccination, greatly improved from Jemer's crude procedure, is simple, but demands strict regard for cleanliness. The skin is carefully cleansed with an antiseptic wash, and vaccihe virus is introduced, either by a small scratch or by lightly pricking the outer layer of the skin a few times with the point of a needle. . No heavy dressing or protective pad should be put over the vaccinated area. With modern methods of vaccination they are not necessary and may be actually harmful. Some doctors protect the vaccinated site, fdr a few days, with a. small piece of sterile gauze, but the heavy bandaging oI earlier days is taboo. A "take" nearly always follows a vaccination properly done with good vaccine, in individuals who are not immune. When no "take" occurs it may mean that the procedure was faulty or the vaccine impotent. The "take" ap pears about the third day, and by the tenth day it appears as a raised red patch on the arm, with a white vesicle in the center. This rapidly dries up into a scab, which drops off in about two weeks. If the person vaccinated has been vaccinated before and is still partially protected by the old vaccine, a small raised red spot will appear one to three days after vaccination, and soon disappear. This is what is known as an "immunity reaction," the best sort of a take, provided good fresh vaccine has been used. It shows that the person was well protected, and probably increases and prolongs that protection. MRS. T. C. SCHROEltaft DIES AT RICHMOND Mrs. Margaret Schroeder died at her home in Richmond Monday night, after an extended illness. She was 80 years old and the widow of the late T. C.
