Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 85, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 June 1899 — Smallpox in Twenty Counties. [ARTICLE]

Smallpox in Twenty Counties.

The health officers of Indiana at their meeting in Indianapolis Thursday passed resolutions calling attention to the fact that small pox exists in twenty counties in the state and urging that vaccination be insisted upon in every county. The conference also went on record as believing that the eyes of school children are injured by the children being required to apply themselves too closely. Frequent written examinations are condemned.
