No New Cases of Smallpox And Indications Favorable.

Rensselaer physicians have been very busy this week investigating the •smallpox scare and believe they are in a position to prevent a spread and say there is no occasion for alarm. John W. Marlatt is getting along nicely and will probably recover without serious trouble. There are no new cases but the physicians have decided as a precautionary measure to isolate two other cases that show some similarity to smallpox, the cases being Mrs. Chas. Shaw on Front street, and John Gallagher on Cullen street. The patients in these two cases are not at all sick but it was decided to be very careful and the temporary inconvenience to which they are placed -will not last long. Dr. M. D. Gwin, city health officer, has issued a statement in this paper which should satisfy all anxiety. It will be the policy of The Republican and also the health officer to give the facts about the disease as nothing can be accomplished by concealment.
