The Text of Dr. Vlade’s Report ami Opin-
ion That it Will Still
Spread
Considerable excitement was created to-day
by the report on the streets of another out-
break of small-pox A Light commissioner at
once called upon the Mayor and the medical
officials. At the Mayor’s office he found
DR. VIADK’S REPORT i
To the Hon. J. H. French Mayor:
San Antonio February 16. Sir—l have
visited the man Ernest Marie aged 27 years a
native of La Fayette Louisiana laboring
under an attack of small-pox. He appears to
be doing fairly well under the circumstances
and is in good spirits. He does not wish to be
removed from where lie is which desire he has
n right to enjov without causing detriment to
others. The wife desires to be in Ins company
and attend him which desire we have neither
wish nor right to prevent. They have a child
who by my advice has been removed to an-
other family in order to be attended to and not
to la-exposed to infection. The house where
the man is is located at the corner of Salinas
and San Saba streets; it is an unfinished brand
new building (plank) in which I cannot see
anything detrimental to health.
This case furnishes new material for reflec-
tion for 1 have a decided opinion that it the
ease springs out of a different focus from oth-
ers we have bad to contend with in the past and
it 1 judge correctly we will have other eases
hereabout. The house in question is kept asan
eating resort fora certain set of men railroad
hands from New Mexico among whom a soap
maker would not make a fortune very soon.
These men and baggage come from
an infected country and if not
careful their contact will disseminate
contagion in our homes. The topographical
locality is unfavorable to health living in a
low marshy malarious district anciently des-
ignated “La Laguna” (the lake). At the pre-
vious visitation that was the most fatal spot in
the city for the havoc of the fell destroyer for
to my certain knowledge from one bouse alone
(the Esqiiival) seven were carried to the grave.
Measures should be taken to prevent a repi-
tition of the experience we have had. I have
my own ideas on the subject but not being
absolute 1 luek the power to act them out. We
look upon fou as the wise head for instruction
as we your subordinates with good will ami
energy will.aet your orders out.
Respectfully J. Viade M. D.
Dr. Menger reports that a man named Harry
Robb aged 25 years white living on North
Flores street is infected with a disease that is
suspected to be small-pox but it is not defi-
nitely decided. He also stated that the barber
Marie said that a man named Dick Henry
a gamblerat the Green Front was infected in
a like manner when lie cut bis hair. Special
examination will be made in these cases this
afternoon. Another man named James E.
Smith living on South Laredo street in the
triangle formed at the Alazan ditch was re-
ported as suspicious by Dr. Jones to the city
and is undoubtedly a case of small-pox.
The houses have been isolated the yellow flag
is raised and all is being done to prevent con-
tagion.
In conversation with Dr. Y lade the Light
commissioner was informed that there were
unfortunately good grounds for fearing that
other eases would arise from the new source of
contagion which might be of serious charac-
ter and it is only fair to state that Dr. Viade
predicted the outbreak which has now oc-
curred. .
At a late hour this afternoon Dr. Menger
reported that all the cases of supposed small-
pox were really eases of measles.
