Insane Asylum Quarantined.

Dr. Henry Schaberg, city health officer, of Kalamazoo, Mich., has established a strict quarantine against the Michigan insane asylum, where twen-ty-nine cases of smallpox and varioloid were discovered. No one is allowed to enter or leave the asylum grounds. Workman Munger, who went to his home in the city is quarantined. Vaccination of the 1,700 inmates has begun. The health officer alleges the asylum management has been careless in admitting patients without vaccination. The disease was brought into the institution by a female nurse who recently visited her home. It was first diagnosed as chlckenpox.
