Smallpox in Mt. Airy; Your Health Officer Will Vaccinate You Against It for Free, Jan. 8, 1920

From the Mount Airy News, January 8, 1920

Health News

This seems to be an opportune time to say something more about Smallpox, as we have a few cases in the town of Mt. Airy, which have developed within the past week.

Too much cannot be said about this disease and the vaccine against this disease. There being no quarantine law on Smallpox, so a person with this disease is at liberty to choose his own places for visitation. You may come into direct contact with him on the street or the church, railway station, school or the store. So if you should become infected with this dreaded disease yu may have no recourse, but you must suffer and endure it.

Your protection is sure and certain if you will be vaccinated free of charge by going to your health officer. It is up to you, it is in your hands. What are you going to do?
