Smallpox Epidemic in San Francisco

THIRTEEN cases of small-pox were reported to the San Francisco health officers Saturday last. Since the first of November, when the disease assumed the form of an epidemic, the Alta states that 121 cases have been sent to the city hospital, and between forty and fifty others have been quarantined. Of the entire number, twenty-five have died. There are ninety-nine patients now in the hospital, and the Board of Health is laying plans to provide more accommodations.
