Bangladesh is the last battlefield in the war on small pox. Ninety-five percent of the 12,000 smallpox cases reported in 1975 occurred there. The great movement of people caused by last year's floods spread the disease throughout the country. As part of the global effort to stamp out smallpox in 1975, the Government of Bangladesh has mobilized thousands of government workers and volunteers to isolate cases and vaccinate those who come in contact with them. Employers and wives from the Agency for International Development in Dacca are assisting in the program. As a result of the drive, smallpox may be eliminated in Bangladesh this year. Same patient as in No. 5. (12 yrs. old girl). Patient has a rather severe case of smallpox, but she lived.
