SMALLPOX
Still
A Menace
Before vaccine that pro-
tects against smallpox
was discovered the dis-
ease was one of the
worst scourges of man-
kind. Gradually since
vaccination has become
so universal smallpox
is being stamped out.
However smallpox is still with us and
is unexpectedly bobbing up from time
to time. Wide travel and crow’ds that
bring people into such close contact
make it necessary to be protected.
I Today vaccination is simple practically pain-
less and ill-effects are extremely rare. The
vaccination should be done by a reputable
physician and the same care exercised against
infection as with any other skin abrasion.
