Excerpt from Fourteenth Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Maine: For the Two Years Ending December 31, 1905, 1904 1905That outbreaks of smallpox can, be stamped out promptly even under conditions which are far from favorable for easy work has again and again been shown by the experience of the local boards and the State board.
