The Melvern Review Osage County Thursday November 24, 1921 Smallpox. Smallpox in a severe form in Kansas City, one out of three dying; there were fifteen deaths reported Sunday, bringing the fatalities to seventy-five. Every individual who has not had a successful vaccination should protect his health by a vaccination at once. The disease can absolutely be prevented through this means, and with the epidemic at its height now in Kansas City, it is apt to appear in Osage county any day. C.O. HOOVER, M.D., Co. Health Office.
