One. successful vaccination affords
complete protection to the majority,
during life. How long it protects the
minority is uncertain.
A Observation-Disclosures successful

A third successful vaccination makes

AS rule each succeeding successful
vaccination is less severe than the
former.
The best time is between the fret
and fourth months-say the third
month, before dentition begins-but ii
smallpox is prevailing neither age nor
poor health should cause it to be de-

No number of unsuccessful vaccine
lions prove q person unacceptable to
smallpox; the only safe rule is to re-
peat vaccination every three days until
it is successful.
Children vaccinated successfully in
infancy or childhood should be revac-
cinated in their eighth year If living
where they are liable to exposure to
smallpox. All children should be re-
vaccinated after puberty no matter

and indispositions of life. These little dis
orders are what make the big ones. When
a man suffers from headaches and loss of
appetite, feels drowsy and dull during wax
ing hours, cannot sleep at night and is
nervous and shaky at all times, he is in a
dangerous condition. If he long neglects
his condition he will find himself a very
sick man. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the best of all medicines for
the many diseases that are caused by an
