--> _IF the Small Pox should be allowed to spread in this

town_ [Boston], _the Editor assures his country customers that

every precaution in his power shall be taken, that no part of

his papers shall convey the infection into the country.--But

it is his belief that it will not be permitted to spread--and

his wishes accord with his belief, having never had the

infection. Should he be necessitated to innoculate, he shall

withdraw himself from his office and leave the business in the

care of a person who will use every caution necessary for the

purpose._
