Excerpt from Thirteenth Annual Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Ohio: For the Year Ending October 31, 1898Smallpox appeared at Wyoming, and was at first mistaken for chicken-pox, but was finally taken hold of by the health authorities, and quickly stamped out.The disease was introduced in Sandusky in September, the origin of the first case being unknown. A new infection of that place was caused by a woman who contracted the disease in Wapakoneta.An outbreak of smallpox, having apparently no connection with other cases in Ohio, occurred in August at the Hotel Victory, put-in-bay, confined almost entirely to servants of the hotel. Here again the dis ease was for some time mistaken for chicken-pox. The hotel was closed, rigid quarantine measures were enforced, and the disease was confined to the place of outbreak. The servants' quarters, in which all cases occur red, were burned. The hotel proper remained free from infection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
