 Riots in Canada have arisen over vacci-
 nation Ignorance and superstition have 1 there made smallpox peculiarly deadly. It is acknowledged on all hands to be a 1 filth disease-incubated in filth, aggravated | by filth, made specially widespread and viru- l lent by wholesale filth. To rely wholly on
 blood poisoning, to deliberately introduce | fostering filth within to counteract filth without may be wisdom-may be treatment | in accordance with some occult law of na- l ture If it is true it seems to stand alone 1 unless M. Pasteur's treatment of hydropho- | bia places that disease in company with it as yielding to vaccination. | Considerable doubt exists as to the good sense of trying to render filth and blood poisoning harmless by more filth and blood poisoning. Henry Bergh was invited to give
 the views of the anti-vaccination people and Professor Brewer has been invited to pre- sent the other side-to show that vaccina- tion has been and now is @ very real and genuine advance i'll the medical treatment of the most dreaded scourge of the race. MT. Bergh has proposed Dr. R. A. Gum, of New York, 8 gentleman quite competent to pre- sent the evils of vaccination. He will speak in the Church of the Messiah Sunday even ing.
