VAccINATIoN.- the recent meet
ing of the State Board Of Health, DR..
S. Barucn, of Camden, read q report
Oh the subject Of vaccination, Of which
the Columbia Register gives the fol-.
lowing synopsis:
The report dwelt upon the great
necessity of q general vaccination of
the people, and embraced valuable re-
ports from all the sub-boards of health
III the State showing tho CRYING need
of vaccination. Tho sub-boards were
almost unanimous III their recon-
mendation that some step be taken to
protect the people against the scourge
of smallpox, which may at any time
invade the State. The report dwelt
at length upon the statistical Ind 9TH
CT evidences which demonstrate tho
efficacy Of the protective power Of
vaccination and its ameliorating effect
upon smallpox when from any cause,
as for instance, inefficient vaccination,
or the waning influence Of protective
measures, smallpox, is contracted.
The report also proved by statistical
evidence that the vaccination perform
cd by Jcnner and his immediate fol-
lowers afforded far greater protection
to the people Of thattime than the vac
cination done in more recent times.
This was demonstrated. too, by refer
ence to various cpidemics which had
prevailed from time to time to the
present day. The report also dwelt
upon the absurd position which tile
anti-vaccinationists occupy in their
opposition to this great boon, and ap-
pcaled to the executive committee to
use their utmost endeavor to induce
the Legislature to give them the prop
CT assistance for carrying out the plan,
which was embodied, to have q gener-
al vaccination for the State. Tho re-
porter impressed upon the committee
the importance Of immediate action,
as by this means they would do their
full duty, and if the people remained
unprotected the responsibility would
remain with the Legislative bodies
which refused their assistance. He
concluded by mapping out q. plan
for general vaccination. Tho report
was referred to tho committee appoint
ed by the State Board Of Health ut its
last session to present with thoir annu-
al report to the Legislature.
