Vaccination

The value If vaccination as a preventive
Of small pox, though questioned by many,
seems attested by statistics. When small
poX was raging as an epidemic in London in
1868, observations were made by the phys
icians upon 5000 children belonging to
national and parnchial schools. work houses
etc Some Of the children had never been
vaccinated the great majority had, i'll va
riuus ways aud degrees. of every 1000
children without any marks II vaccination
$50 had marks Of small poX while Of every
]. 900 children who had evidence uf vaccin-
ation only l7S had any trace Of the decease
In regard to the amount Of vaccination, it
was found of children having four or more
cicatrices. only O.62 per thousand were scar
red with small pox. So the best vaccina-
ton proved thirty fold more protective
than the worst, and the worst was twenty
seven times better than none at all.
The study If 1900 cases Of small pox
at the London hospital shows that the un-
vaccinated died at the rate Of 81 per cent,
and the vaccinated at the rate Of only 64
per cent. the mortality among those with
only a single scar being only O.55, while
that among those with only single scar
was 7.37 A comparison Of the statistics
indicates that well vaccinated person runs
only one-seventieth the risk which is taken
by those who refuse to avail themselves of
vaccinations. The courageous Lady Mon
tague, who suffered the first attempt at vac
cination to be made upon her daughter, is
vindicated by the records Of the history
and progress Of the disease since then and
the great army Of doubters who hold aloof
from vaccination for no better reason than
superstition OF insufficient knowledge Of
facts, are left the consolation Of knowing
that their course greatly increases the risk
they would otherwise run.

morning In June, reading newspaper, |
saw my ncighbor NJ. driving a lot of hens

endeavored to getthem on to my premises.
The hens were not willing to be driven in

They attempted to retreat" and the old
man, in a rage, would run. first after one
hen. and then after another, but they
broke ranks" aud went of in different
dicections, and finally returned to the
garden where they had committed their
depredations. He made another attempt
to drive them to my stable, but with no
better success than before.
At length the christian (?) brother lost
his temper, and began to scold at my
school boys. and threatened to kill the
hens if didn't take care of them. Fear
ing tn" boys might say some naughty
things. went to the door and inquired
the cause OF the excitement. The old man
r1red, and the boys laughed. He said he
