Smallpox Fumigation at Tama Reservation Reported
Special correspondence details Dr. A. M. Linn's report on the first fumigation and ventilation at Tama Indiana to curb virulent smallpox. About 340 to 350 Indians received new clothing and housing, old belongings burned, and extensive disinfection with corrosive sublimate and formaldehyde. The process involved council talks with chiefs, consent among residents, and forced baths for all. Some Indians resisted but compliance followed, with dogs and structures also disinfected. The account notes 45 Indian deaths from smallpox, and the broader effort to prevent spread as spring arrived. Arrangements are also announced for a state music teachers convention next June.
