0 MEMBERS of PARLIAMENT.
..n. COMPULSORY VACC [NATION.
GENTLIIMEN,—Before you c limit yourselves to such a fatal mea
sure as the above, w'e beseech yon to peruse a most important French
work on the questi.on. It is entitled" De la Degenerescence Physique
et Morale de re;spece Humaine determinee par le Vaccin. Par le
Dr. Verde-Loclisle." The wore is published in Paris, byCharpentier,
39, Rue de l'Universiii, and may be had in London, at Jeff's, 15,
Burlington-arcade. If after reading the book you think yourselves
justified in assenting to compulsory vaccination, it will be, at all
events, with a knowledge of the dangers attending such a measure.
Remember that Jenner had only two years' experience when his
supposed discovery was most blindly embraced by the world, and
that, although he vaccinated his first son, he did not do sa with the
second—Robert. Bear also in naiad that there never has been a
proper test of vaccination, which great work (if done at all) should
have been by vaccinating a great many children, and leaving an
equal number to Nature, who should have been watched together.
This we say would have been a proper test. But was it done ? Most
assuredly not. Everybody has gone on blindly vaccinating, without
for one moment reflecting as to what he was doing. The First Con-
sul, Livonaparto, and the others of the state who signed in l'aris
their approval of vaccination, alas ! what could they know about it ?
It was by this sort of jugglery that the thing took ground. It was
only time that could have proved its fallacy ; and look now at the
degenerate state of mankind. 'where are our Shakespe ,res, Milton%
Newions, and in later days our Pitts, Chathatus, Sheridans, &c.,l!ce.?
and our Mczarts, Haydns, Aubers ?—echo answers, Where ? No, we
have nothing left but a puny, consumptive generation, critinual y
attacked by all sorts of fevers of the worse description. Again we
beseech you, reflect.

Our nioreexteoded protest nainst compulsory vaccination appears
in the Hyseist and Medical Reformer for May, 1856.

We have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servants,
THE MEMBERS o' the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH,
New-road, London, for the Society of Hygeists, who, acting
under the system of James Morison, the Hygeist, only recog-
nise an impurity in the blood as the cause of all diseases.
