More Than Hundred Cases Of Smallpox in Lake County.

Lake County Star. 1 From the latest reports the smallpox is getting a good start in the north end of Lake county, and has spread to Hobart, and east to Valparaiso. All told the papers report more than a hundred oases. Thus far Crown Point is cltar of the disease, but it would do no harm for the health officers to plan on an isolated place to take a patient if one shows up. The old adage that “a stitch in time saves nine” is true.' In the event we get a case in the future, where would the subject be sent? There may be ah old vacant house out a distance that can be spoken for, and if we have , no use for it all well and good. It would do no harm.
