Small Pox In Stephen.
Anyone reading the daily papers
and not being conversant with tho
facts would be lead to beliovo that
the whole township of Stephen is
under quarantine and that there
are from sixty to eighty cases of
smallpox of the most virulent type.
One report from the provincial
health department at Toronto, says
"Tho provincial authorities becamq
suspicious last week and being able
to secure no authentic information
from local sources sent Provincial
Inspector Dr. Bell up to inveatigate,"
Such was not the case.. Dr. (Mc-
Cue, of Crediton was the ttho first
one to diagnose the cases as small.
pox, and asked that the provincial
health inspector be called in.
However, the oases are not near-
ly so alarming as pictured, neither
are there as many as .redtorted. Ili
Dashwood, according to Dr. McBride,
who also diagnosed the canes as
smallpox, there aro only five or six
cases, none of n hieh neect
cause alarm. There are three
houses under quarantine. find this
will be lifted in n few days. The
hotel was under quarantine for a
couple, of days, but the patients
were moved to another building, the
house disinfected and the card taken
down. Dr. 'McBride says there is no
further danger of more outbreaks,
every case being watched.
Dr. 'McCue, fnforms us there is
only one house in Crediton under
quarantine, and that the cases taro
of a mild form. In the matter of
the young man Neeb. who died, it
is stated that he had a slight at
tack and continued to work fin a
ditch, contracted a cold, which prov-
ed fatal.
In the township outside of iCredi
ton and Dashwood there are severs
cases. but not of a malignant form
In our report of last nveek
were in error in stating that Dr
Orme. of Centralia (was the first' ono
to diagnose the case of Neeb as
small pox. It was another patientur'h
that Dr. Oro ad seen nnd tex-
pressed his opinion that the man
was afflicted with the disease. Dr.
McCue was the first one 4o pro-
nounce the case of Neeb as small-
pox and expressed his opinion that he
was beyond recovery although he did
everything Possible to sustain life.
trusteed of credit being given 'Dr.
depart-
Ment.Hell, of the provincial health depart-
ent, it should be given Dr. 'McCuo
for stating that the cases (were
smallpox.
It wns reported in Exeter last
week that there was n case in town,
but the report was without foun-
dation. It was only a case of 'hives.

tory. Yet do not despair, for the
