Bernethy, of Stark county, Martin Krueger, of Michigan City, and B. E. Shively, of South Bend, were presented to the convention. Messrs.

I ’ RONOUN(’ EI) SM ALLPOX. ♦ 1 But Two Cases of Full Fledged Smallpox as yet Developed. * THE OTHER SIX CASES BUT A MILD FORM OF VARIOLOID. । Due Precautions Being Taken by the Town ' Authorities tc Confine the Disease

Walkerton is at present considerably excited over a smallpox epidemic of a mild nature. There has been two cases of what is pronounced fullHedged smallpox, that of Mrs. Doud and the doctor’s ten year old son, who is now convalescent. Mrs. Doud died Sunday afternoon about 4 o’clock of hemorrhagic smallpox. She was buried in the Walkerton cemetery the same evening about tea o'clock. She was aged 42 years. - The origin of the disease here is involved in some mystery, but it is sujT" posed that it started from a woman at the club house at Koontz's lake whom Dr. Doud was called to see about seven weeks ago. The woman resides

in Chicago. The doctor pronounced her difficulty at the time a case of poisoning, and treated her for such. About two weeks afterward the doctor was taken down and was sick in bed tor two weeks with what he supposed was lichen, a skin disease somewhat resembling smallpox in certain respects. Subsequent developments, however, go to show that he had an attack of varioloid in a very mild lorm. The doctor’s daughter-in-law was next taken with the disease but her case was so light that she was able to be up most of the time during her illness. Dr. Doud’s wife was the next to follow and after a week’s illness died. Ihe doctor’s ten year old son was then attacked with the disease, but at this w rit ing - Thursday evening —is reported to be getting along nicely and able to sit up. There are eleven members of the Doud family, and but four of them have been taken j with the disease thus far. Dr. Doud, who had no suspicion of the true nature of his disease, continued to wait upon patients who called at the house during his sickness. Three of his patients Charles Cudney and Mrs. William Baker ami child—have since been taken down with the varioloid. Mr. Cudney was

He was confined to his bed but three days. Mrs. Baker and child fust showed symptoms of varioloid Thursday morning. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Vincent’s child, aged about, three years, also developed symptoms of varoiliod the same morning. 'Die town authorities promptly placed a strict quarantine on the two houses. The, Vincent, child took the disease from the Doud boy, who lives near by. On Friday afternoon of last week Dr. Doud reported to Dr. Denaut, secretary of the Walkerton board of health, that there was smallpox in his family, and Dr. Denaut at once investigated the matter and also pronounced the disease smallpox. He at once notilie 1 the county board of health of the situation and measures were promptly adopted to quarantine the Doud family and others who had been exposed. Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the state board of health, was notified and arrived here Monday evening. He made an examination of the cases the following morning and pronounced them all, with the exception of that of the Doud boy, which he decided to be typical smallpox, as varioloid in a mild form. At this writing—Thursday evening —all the cases seem to be getting along well, and there is from present indications no danger of a serious spread of the disease. The town council and board of health, are keeping a watchful eye on the situation and propose to keep the disease con- > hued to its present limits if tireless j । precaution will do it. All the houses where patients and - the exposed persons live are being ; kept under strict quarantine with j guards stationed at the proper places. The town authorities on Thursday i evening issued a proclamation advisi ing the cit izens of the town to take . ! all necessary precautions to guard ; against a spread of the disease.
