Excerpt from Thirty-Third (Fourth Biennial) Report of the State Board of Health of the State of Connecticut: For the Two Years Ending September 30, 1914

Willimantic, Naugatuck and Hartford have had epidemics which have cost these cities thousands of dollars.

Smallpox is a loathsome and disfiguring disease. Before the discovery of Jenner in 1796, it was considered a disease of childhood because few children reached adult age without having had the disease. Vaccination is an almost certain preventive of smallpox and the accidents that sometimes re sult are so rare as to be incomparable with the benefits to the community that are derived from this great discovery.
