Truth About Vaccination.
GERMANY's WONDERFUL SUCCESS IN
COMBATING SMALLPOX.

London Lancet.
In a recent lecture delivered at
Rome, DR.. Bizzozzero made deep
impression by his summing up of
his argument for vaccination. He
said:
Germany stands alone in fulfill
ing in great measure the demands
of hygiene, having in consequence
of the calamitous smallpox epide-
mic of 1S70-7l, enacted the law of
1874, which snakes vaccination
obligatory in the first year of life
and revaccination also obligatory
at the tenth year." What was the
result? With a population of 50,-
100000, having in 1871 lost 49,
600 lives by smallpox. she found
by her law of 1874 the mortality
diminished 30 rapidly that to-day
the disease numbers only 116 vic
Tins year. These cases, how
ever, occur almost exclusively in
towns on her frontier.
II it were true, continued Prof.
Bizzozzero, that a good vaccina-
ton does not protect from small
pox we ought to find in smallpox
epidemics that the disease diffu-
ses itself in the well-vaccinated no
less than in the non-vaccinated
countries. But it is not so. In
1901, during the Franco-Ger-
man war, the two peoples interpe-
netrated each other, the German
having its civil population vacci-
mated optionally, but its army
completely revaccinated, while the
French population and army
alike were vaccinated perfuncto-
rily. Both were attacked by small
pox but the French army numbe-
red $4,000 deaths by it, while the
German army had only 27S; and
in the same tent, breathing the
same air, the French wounded
we're heavily visited by the disease
while the German wounded, hav-
ing been revaccinated, had not a
single case.

ence in blizzard.
"I never really wanted to murder man
until I got caught in a Dakota blizzard last
winter" said lawyer to Chicago Chron-
icle reporter. "It came about like this: I
had gone TO Sioux Falls to look after a
divorce for a client Of mine, and was
persuaded to join a hunting party which
had lodge in the woods about forty miles
west of little place called Marion After
spending a week with the crowd | started
back on a wagon with an old teamster and
a dudish young fellow from Milwaukee, who
had also been a guest of the sportsmen. We
expected to stop overnight at a settlers S
cabin and reach Marion next day. but a
snowstorm came up about noon and we got
off the trail. In couple of hours the storm
developed into a bowling Dakota blizzard,
and there we were, absolutely lost, with a
very excellent chance OF freezing to death
before morning.
after wandering around for several hours
we stopped in the lee of a little bluff and
held a consultation. The old teamster said
il we could only manage to build fire he
thought we might hold out until daybreak,
and then find the trail, and to our great Joy
the Milwaukee dude produced silver box
full of matches-the only ones in the party.
There were few stunted trees nearby, and
by breaking them down and partly dis
mantling the wagon we got together good
sized pile of wood. We scraped away a
place in the snow, piled some sticks over a
few shavings and wisps of straw, and then,
gathering close around to cut off the wind
called excitedly for light. The dude took
out his case, opened 1t and was about to
strike match when he stopped short. He
had peculiar drawl when speaking, and
can hear him now in imagination: 'Ba jove!
fellows!' he said I'm deuced sorry
doncherknow, but / made mistake when ]
filled this case. These are the kind OF
matches that only strike on the box!' Tha
was the time ! experienced desire to com

couple OF toes, but the dude and l were un
scathed. BY morning the weather cleared
and we found ourselves in sight OF th'
cabin"
