The most experienced yaccinators, on The

on the other, agree IN the belief that disease
is rot communicable by vaccination. Mr..
MarsOn, an English physician, in the per
Torrance Of more than fifty thousand vacd-
nations. 'has never seen other diseases com
municated with the vaccine disease, nor does
he believe IN the popular reports that they
are so communicated MI. Lees, whose
observations were equally extensive, has
borne similar testimony. Dr. W. Jeuner,
who in six years had some thirteen Thousand
sick ADULTS and children under observation,
states 'that IN no case had he reason t,
believe, or even TO suspect that any consiitu
iional faint had been conveyed from one per
son to another by vaccination" During
period Of seventeen years Dr. West ireuie'
twenty-six thousands infants and chlldicn,
