NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN SUNDAY JULY H. 1870

Privy Council-have been for years working
insatiably at this question, and have an
swered it completely, with an array Of fig
ures, which to doubt would be to fly in the
face of the multiplication table. "WhereeO-
ever vaccination falls into neglect" cries Mr..
Simon, from his mountain height of Stats
tics, smallpox tends to become again the
same frightful pestilence it was in the days
before Jenner's discovery; and wheresoever
it is universally and properly performed,
smallpox tends to be of as little effect as
any extinct epidemic of the middle ages"
DR.. Jenner inculcated, and his immediate.
disciples observed, certain conditions OF
thorough and successful vaccination, which
have Of late been forgotten or neglected, to
the great detriment of the public health.
The apparently trivial character of the
operation has led to its slOvenly and in
effectual performance. The most important
of these conditions is that the vaccine lymph,
Just at the period of it's perfect elaboration,
should be transferred directly from the
Welding arm to the receiving arm. In this
country this plan is followed in probably
an Insignificant proportion of cases. The
use of dried lymph of varying degrees Of
activity down to complete inertness, is the
rule, and here, apparently, more than IN
England, is Mr.. SilnOn's assertion true, that
millions of vaccinations have been per
formed with lymph which had lost it origi--
nal power, with resulting partial or total
failure of protection.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-07-17

In some countries where vaccination has
been compulsory and has been performed
with conspicuous thorOughness, very
much nearer approach has been made to the
fultllment of the Jennerian aspiration of
the extinction of smallpox.
In Copenhagen, in twelve years, before
the introduction Of vaccination, $500 per-
sons died from smallpox, from the years
lSO2 to 1918, a period of sixteen years. After
vaccination had been peremptorily insised
upon, only one hundred and fifty-eight per-
sons died OF smallpox over the whole of
Denmark.
In Copenhagen, for thirteen years, not
one fatal case of smallpox occurred: the
same was true for eight years, in SO large a
population and territory as that of the
Grand Duchy of Baden.
For striking example, look at the expe-
rience of the well vaccinatsd British army
for twenty years, from 1917 to 1896. incli,,
sive. In dragon regiments and guards.
with an aggregate strength. during that
period Of A, GIL men, and total mortality
of six hundred and twenty-seven, ONLY
three deaths were from small -pox.
Among the troops at Gibralta, the aggre-
gate strength being 44,6ll men, during
that period, with total mortality Of 1891,
only one death from smallpox occurred.
In the West Indies several epidemics OF
smallpox prevailed during the period, but
there were no deaths, either among the
British or white troops, of wnOm the aggre-
gate strength was S6,66l, and with total
mortality of 6S03. Among the black troops
on the same station, with an aggregate
strength of 1884, and a mortality Of I645,
there was not one case of smallpox.
At Bermuda, Nova Scotia, Cape of Good
Hope and the Mauritius, not death from
smallpox occurred during the twenty years
rpapt;nnaI apl tho white frOOpS of WeStaru
Africa wholly escaped this disease, while
the black unprotected population were
dying by hundreds. These may serve as
samples of statistics that might be multi
piled by hundreds. Let it not be supposed
that this amazing saving of human life has
been at an increased mortality from any
other disease. On the contrary, and not
withstanding the dire threats of ..Lues Be-
Tilta," and "FdcicS Boui,sd," Illuminated by
the early opponents of vaccination, the bet
ter we become acquainted with that discOy-
cry the more purely beneficial does it ap
pear to be. Thus, it is noticeable in those
countries where vaccination has been most
thoroughly practiced that, leaving smallpox
out of the question, there is diminution
of the death rate from other causes; and
this is SO striking in the case Of two of the
most important classes OF disease, viz,
scrofulous affections and continued fevers,
especially typhoid, that some medical stat
lists have attributed to vaccination an indefi-
mite protective agency in this regard.
Why is it, they, in the face of these facts,
that smallpox, occasionally and within GER
tain limits, RACES to the extent of an cpl
demic, SO that, in popular esteem, vaccina-
ton has ceased measurably to afford its old
protective power? Some of the best of the
heads that study-like that for instance, of

states that in Pennsylvania there is a crimi-

commonwealth derived annually from liquor

A FUNERAL PYRE,

The End OF n Thanksgiving Spree In Uonnec-
ticut-Tyo Young sien Burned to Death IN
n shnnty.
On Thanksgiving night two men got on board
Conductor A. s. Beers train at Ansonia, Conn,
with tickets for Plymouth. Between there and
Waterbury they were quite noisy and got into
considerable of scuille when the train neared
the STATEN. Arriving there, q policeman
entered the car and managed to quiet them,
so that when the train started again they also
continued their trip. When the train reached
Reynolds Bridge, little this side of Ply
mouth, they got off, and that was the last the
conductor saw of them that night. Just below
Reynolds Bridge is long covered bridge called
Jericho Bridge, and on this side of the latter
stands shanty erected by Mr.. Daniel Carter as
q protection and place of lodging for himself
while attending to the burning of charcoal
which he has carried on at that place. Early
on Friday morning some of Mr.. Carriers family
saw smoke ascending from where the shanty
stood, and Mr. Carter Immediately repaired
thither to find the building in ruins, the fire and
smoke not yet being entirely out. He examined
the place, and among the smouldering heap of
ruins he thought he discovered human remains.
Summoning assistance, he again went to the
tke burnt and blackened corpses of the two men
from the fire and ashes, so completely
dishgured as to be unrecognizable,
except by portions OF their nneonsumed
their persons. Their arms were burned of
nearly to their bodies, the extremities of their
limbs were gone, and their heads almost Oh
quite wholly devoured by the fire. The fact
that such an awful affair had occurred spread
like wild-fire and every means resorted to for
identification. This was at last accomplished
by means OF a watch on the person of one of the
victims and a bunch of keys on the other
| Their names were Frank Garfield and E. Curtis
| When Conductor Beers arrived with his train
| at Plymouth on Friday, it was then ascer.
| tanned that the unfortunate victims were
| the two passengers that entered the car;
at Ansona the previous night. The presump
! ton is that after leaving the cars al
Reynolds Bridge they walked back, crossing
Jericho Bridge, the whole distance being about
one mile and half, and seeking shelter for the
night in the old shanty, kindled fire of char
coal (there was bushel or two in the building)
and lay down to sleep. The fumes and gas o
the burning coal probably sti1ed them to de-
gree that rendered them insensible, and wher
the fire spread to the building, and destroyed
| it, they, too, were burned before recovering
| from their insensible condition. They wer,
both single men, and one of them was EN-
ployed at Thomas mills in Plymouth, at goo(
wages. The remains were gathered up by thei
| friends and will be buried to-day.

NOVEL FINANCE.
How Methodist ministers Invest Their Money.

The Buffalo Express says:-
We have received the folio wing communica-
tion from Rev. George p. Porter, Presiding
Elder of the NJ. f. Church in this district
To,THE PUBLIC.-A Mr.. Lawrence claims to
be heir to vast estate in England, worth a
hundred millions of dollars, aud is issuing bonds
of ten thousand dollars each and selling them at
ten dollars each, in order to enable him to go to
England and secure the property. So | learn
1t has been reported to me that persons acting
as agents in selling these bonds represent that
'it is all right" and among other reasons cited
as evidence, say that the leading ministers of
the Methodist Episcopal Church endorse it and
have taken the thing in haud. We wish to
warn the unsophisticated against any such
reasons as that for buying these bonds. There
may be some Methodist ministers who have in-
vested something in them-that is their business
not mine. Methodist ministers, in their legi-
innate calling, deserve the confidence of the
public In preaching the Gospel and acting as
agents for benevolent and other public insttu-
tions they deserve well. But any man who pre-
sents purely financial project and would ask
you to conlde in il simply because he is a
minister, you would do well to watch.
