☞ 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.
