bands and wives. Gossip has black
ened and sullied the characters of many
girls. Gossip has parted lovers who

One little misstep or indiscretion will
cause gossip to rise with new strength
and start on her mission. Her.tdid wo
say? We ought not to,' for we have
male gossipers, and as a rule, they are
ten times as venomous as female. A
good healthy gossiper is about as mean

CONCERNING THE SMALLPOX.
Dr. W. G. Cole Replies to Dr. K. It. Bwlr-
liurne Regarding Smallpox.
East Oregonlan.
Regarding tbe Investigation into the
nature of tbe disease wbiob bus been
raging throughout tbe Inland Empire,
and which has been called commonly
smallpox, Dr. W. Q. Cole, of this city,
bands tbe East Oregooian the following
statement, courteously replying to tbe
conolusions of Dr. Swinburne, of Hepp
ner, wbiob found expression in the East
Oregonian of Thursday. Dr, Swinburne
made tbe statement in response to a re
quest by this paper, and Dr. CjIb's re
ply, also asked for, will add to the inter
est wbiob has been aroused by ths first
article. Dr. Cole writes:
Pbndlkton, Ore , Deo 15.
To the Editor. Io your Issne of De
cember 11, under tbe oaption "Investi
gated tbe Disease," there appsara an
artiole from Dr. E. R. Swinburne, of
Heppuer. I would not intrude myself
in your paper were it not for the fact
that the tenir ot the artiole, in my
opinion, is to make ligbt ot a disease
tbe oontagiousness ot which no pby-
sioian, not even tbe writer of the artiole
refered to, questions, and which in some
instances in this and adjoining states
bas proven a fetal malady.
As to tbe doctor's investigation, it is
purely a negative one. He does not at
tempt to -classify the disease, and the
drag company in their report are par
ticularly careful to avoid any expression
of opinion whatever. As tbe nature of
tbe original virulent organism that
oanses smallpox, np to the present time,
is in doubt, the parties making tbe iu
vestigatioo of he pus slides oonld not in
(be nature of things make any report ex
cept as they bave, namely, a negative one.
No oompetent physician making a
negative investigation of pus slides,
taken, for instanoe, from a patient witb
pbysioal signs ot consumption, would
conclude from two or a dozon saub
slides that his patient bad not consump
tion; nor oan tbe publio or physicians,
from such a report and Investigation as
tbat given by Dr. Swinburne, arrive at
t any conclnsioo whatever.
Tbe disease prevailing bas tbe olloioal
symptoms of smallpox, and only lacks
cbe usual viruleooe to complete tbe
typical disease.
Io conclusion let me say that from tbe
first cases tbat appeared io tbis neigh
borbood an epidemic started io the state
of Missouri wbiob was promptly labeled
by tbe health board of tbat state
smallpox.
instead ol regarding (tils disease in
tbe light of a trifling malady, it should
be tbe duty of all communities to exsro's
osre, lest, nnler favorable conditions
may find ourselves ooufronted with
a disease whose ravages miy oaasn
many a vacant chair in tbe bonus of our
oommnoity. W. O. C u,B, M. D.
