Thu eruption first appears in Miiall,

a clear whey-colored fluid; these vehi
cles continue three or four days and
then lipcti into pnetiilca which contain
yellow matter Tito number of there

of tho case, from a dozen or two to
some hundreds or thousands. There
is great swelling of tho whole face,

Alter about two days inoro or about
the eighth day of tho eruption, which
diies into scabs or ousts. During tho
pustules lupture and matter exudes;
after the exudation of matter tliQ pus

is detached between tlio eleventh and

At about tlio eighth day n secondary
fever occurs which lasts dining tlio
period ol supttr.itioii, or maturating nnd
then ceases. With tho falling of tho
crust, about the fourteenth day, tho
dieao terminate.
Tho cause ot tho disease is obrnmic,
though there is many reasons to, be
lieve that it llrst originated in some of
the lower animals and from thorn ex
tended to tlio human species. It is
communicated from one person to tho
other through immediate contact with
the body, by breathing the iuleetcd at
mothcri1, or in any way coming un
der the influence of tho germs ot the
poison which exists in thu exhalations
from the secretions of the body of the
patient. The poison is carried into the
clothing of the patient, aud tho bed'
ding, in the scab which fall from the
body, itc. These poisonous ucniiH may
exist for years even utilmpaiicd, Tho
disease is probably generated in the
siifleiing patient during till stages, mid
is itioti dangerous when most notieible
to the reditu ol smell. It extends for
quite 11 distance around the patient,
and it is, therefore, unsafe to even en
ter the same house, or come in contact
with him in tlio street.
It should be borne in mind that this
dread disease ii one which cannot lie
