The Smallpox Situation.

Health Officer Gwin\ reports that the little Shaw girl, who has ihad a mild case of smallpox, would be released from quarantine yesterday. The Lon Watkin’s home in the northwest part of town, is still under quarantine because of the fact that one of the children had the measles and could not he vaccinated. No new cases have been reported for some time and it seems that the disease has been practically stamped out. While Dr. Gwin has been critized in some quarters, he seems to have handled the situation about as well as could have been done, and very little inconvenience has been experienced even in families where there were cases of the disease.
