Your Health (By Robert E. naniela, M. D i (Secretary IX-catur Health Board! "Smallpox Control” I recently received from ths board of health of a large city a • reprint whh h di»t u»»--d in great I detail the fretiueucy ot smalliiux and measures used for control thereof. I consider thia article so good I and so important that I would Hkr to para along some of the com luxI ions and comments offered. Back in the eighteenth century and extending over into the nineI teenth there occurred an epidemi< c-f small pox that took the lives of millions of people and maimed .countless thousands of others. Then, under the direction of Ed ward Jenner. Immunisation was j practiced. Certainly this proc edura waa the chief instrument in taming a highly virulent and contagious enemy. In the past few decades, we I h tve not seen much smallpox. Perhaps the last oustanding epl- ; c enuc occurred in 1917 and 191 S. Minor out breaks were observed in 1901. I»o5. 1914. IMP and 1930 I These tigures were taken from the nation as a whole. It Is not un 1 usual to find communities where • epidemics appear alsoif every five , years In every case, epidemics 1 are controlled by vaccination and ! quarantine. , hi 191 s there was an unusually ' large amount ot vaccination As ■ i a result of thia, the severity of epidemics In the next in years decreased <l# years being given as an eaiimate ot the duration of immunity I.

recurs Indicates that in smallpox 11 we have a sleeping giant. Vaccination, naturally, is our chief de 1 sense agaiuat thia giant. I believe 1 cau say without fear of contradictiou that in most communities In the past 10-15 yean, there has been very little vaccination done. The infrequency of the disease , has lulled the populace Into a state lof neglect of this important procedure. During our next epidemic, a : great deal of time will be lost 'through quarantining and Illness, agree that moat of this * could be prevented hy systematic , vaccination of our young. Parents i are to be urged to make vaccination a routine with every child. Vatchtaiion of a healthy child under one year is harmlesa. The cost la very llttl* <approximately 311 and to those unable to pay. It .an be don through (*c titles ot the state health service. The Importance of a continuous ‘educational program to encourage, Immunisation cau not Im over-

stressed. Freedom-loving Americana do not enjoy the prospect of compulsory immunisation laws. With few exceptions the cause for neglect among the public is due to lack of publicity, ft only occasionally enters the mind of the average citisen. The same vigilance and publicity should be applied to other esteblisbed forma of Immunisation, ft is indeed very reprehensible for any individual to contract a preventable disease. *" TWENTY YEARS • AGO TODAY j May 31—A class of twenty will ' graduate from St. Joseph Catholic school June UUI.
