warns herewith that any one who feels himself attacked with 
this disease, or has been infected with it and has recovered, 
should avoid for at least a month all churches, the City Hall, 
the baths, and other congregations and meetings of the people, 
and protect others from affliction and injury.

Council. 
In the eighth place, the Honorable Council has deemed it 
not an unimportant provision to remove at once from the city 
the garments, bed clothing and other clothing which has been
