It depopulated States; it attacked Kings, princes and peasants; on land and sea it swept away its thousands. A century ago by the dimcovory of Jonnor in Eng land its powers over human lifo was cancelled; vaccination is a suro preventive; it sot froo the hu man family from this terrible scourge. There uro sporadic eases around and about us. A ease may develop in any town or neigh borhood. Not cities or towns alone may be affliotod; the coun try is not exempt. The writer woll remembers when tho negroes of a largo land owner, near Vaughauville, in this county wore attacked and there wore a dozen or so case's. The disease was con fined to one plantation. Tin? board of health in this city, au intelligent body, will look to it; in telligent physicians in tho county will look out for tho families among whom they practice. Let tho poor, especially, white and blaok, be protected. Thoro need bo no alarm or panic. Get vac cinated. Thoro is no dodging.? You may encounter it going North, South, East or West or it may como to you. Attend to vaccina tion. An ounco of preventive may in this caso prove worth millions of euro. Wo Don't Understand?
