VACCINATION.
Some OF Its Dangers and the Method
OF Avoiding Them.

several years ago 1 vaccinatod person
whose health had always been excellent and
who Ind never had any kidney disease. The
lyinph used was bovine. obtained directly from
one OF the most reliable propagators In the
country. The operation was carefully per-
formed, and WIS success rs far ~ relates 10
Its primary object. In about month after
vaccination the patient became dropsical The
urine was heavily charged with albumcn: the
skin was dry; appetite aud strength dimin-
ishcd. In short, tho phenomena Of typical case
of acute aIbuminuria existed. SO obvious was
the cause OF death that no postmortem cxnIni-
nation was made. Authorities mention animal
and zymotic pOlsons as among the causes pro
duclng Brights disease. They speak of scar
let fever, menslcs small pox, ns sometimes
being the cause of albuminuria. II this Is 50,
there IN no good reason why vaccination mny
not occasionally become nm Geological factor.
In the case we are considering the eyidcncc
that II was the cause H. quite plain. The prS
else way In which the poison gained an Gu
trance into the system and performed it, dead
" work, Il is impossible to determine
should Brights disease arise. even IN rare IN
stances, after vaccination. the sooner the pro-
fessiOn find II out the better II VIII be Tor sur

DIR. Loveland clearly shows that oven
so simple a matter as vaccination Is lia-
BILE to result In Brlght's disease. Indeed
medical authorities state that during
the prevalence of smallpox there Is al
buminuria. and II this Is so, undoubted-
ly vaccination, which produces q mild
form of the disease, will be attended by
some manifestation thereof.
The fact of the matter is, and 1t Is get
ting to be more and more recognized
every day, very little disturbance OF
the system will produce arrangements
of the kidneys, which. eventually. result
In Bright's disease, Oyerwork, mental
or physical: over-anxiety; physical ex-
cesses; mental worry; excessive indul-
gence In certain stimulants and narcotics;
Irregularities of life and habits; the taxi
ing of cold; changes OF season and eli
mate, all have tendency to affect the
system unfavorably and TO produce II
diseased condition Of the kidneys.
People labor under very erroneous
impression who think that such disor-
ders are rare, for 1t Is n matter OF record
that primarily or secondarily they are
the cause of n very large percentage Of
deaths.
Vaccination Is perfectly right and
proper, for there Is no better preventive
known to the profession. A very small
amount of vaccine If II takes" Affects
the whole system. On the contrary. n
very small amount OF medicine, II 1t Is
Of the right kind, has equally powerful
effect in the blood when properly admin
istered.
1t seems almost like vain repetition to
state that pure blood means good health,
but IL is evident that the belief is popu-
lar from the fact that so many so-called
remedies are advertised as the best blood
purifiers.
Now, in order to purify the blood a
remedy must be Alternative, and in con-
| siderable measure, a diuretic; that Ia to
| say, 1t must have the elements IN Ii that
| will act upon the blood as purifiers and
| will promote the action OF the organs
| which remove the poison from the blood.
| Unless 1t has these elements 1t is absurd
| to call it blood purifier.
The tired feeling; the depressed head
aches; the fluttering at the stomach
| vertigo; q sense of languor; an indie
soribable feeling of uneasiness and rest
| lessness, all indicate, not disease neces-
sarily of any one organ, but torpid
| and heavy condition of the blood. IL Is
| impossible to purify a stream except at
| it's source. Ii is impossible to keep the
blood rich unless 1t IS purified by the
organs which nature has provided for
that purpose.
We have shown, as we think every
Journalist should show his readers, II
able to do so, that the human kidneys
| are susceptible to the least cause dis
turbing the natural operation of the sys-
TEN. And II is also known that these
organs are provided by nature to remove
the waste and poisonous material OF the
blood and wash 1t out OF the system.
This operation seems very simple, but
owing to the fact conceded by the med
ical profession generally, until the dis
ooyery of Warmers Safe Cure, there was
no known remedy which had any
certain power over functional or
chronic diseases of the kidneys or over
blood impurities, consequently blood pu-
rifcation through these organs has been
difficult matter to perform II nature
were at all deranged.
1t Is useless to multiply words on this
subject because that remedy has repu-
tation conceded by the most Intelligent
physicians, of being without exception
the most beneficent discovery in the
realm of medicine ever made.
Vaccination is justifable and proper
as n preventive of smallpox, and II the
| remedy above mentioned Ia used In con-
nection with the operation OF vacclna-
ton, 1t Is doubtful II an injurious effect
will follow. The manufacturers state
that they know from long extended ex-
perlence In treating the sick, that blood
disorders are extremely prevalent and
that, judging from their own experience,
there can possibly be no agency 80 eff
feotlve in preventing and curing such
disorders ever known. Children and
grown people alike are subject to 1t and
unless nature is given assistance at the
proper time by special agency such az
we have named, persons so afflicted
must succumb to the forces which are
constantly trying to draw them down
