?AGE FOUU THE LEXINGTON INTELLIGENCER. LEXINGTON. MO. Smallpox. A community or a family that lias a smallpox epidemic these days has only itself to blame. In fact, since the discovery of the preventative powers of vac cination more than 100 years a- 0, smallpox has become 12,000,000.000 LETTERS of the few diseases which are absolutely possible to control. In discussing smallpox there is but one thing to say, "vacci nation". In communities where vaccination is compulsory and the law is enforced, it is prac tically non-existent.
