THE TRUTH ABOUT VAGINA.
TON.

In a recent lecture delivered at r ome
and reported in the London Lancet,
Dr.. B zzezz9ro made a deep impress
sion by bis summing up of the argu
ment Of vaccination. He said:
Germany stands alone in fulfilling
in great measure the demands of n.y.
giene, having in Consequence of the ca
lamiEious smallpox epidemic of 1870
II enacted the law of 1874, which
makes vaccination obligatory in the
first year of life, and revaccination
also obligatory at the tenth year
What was the result9
with a population of SO, 900, 900,
having in 1871 lost 143, 900 lives by
smallpox, she found by her law of 1874
the mortality diminishes so rapidly
that today the disease numbers only
116 victims a year. These cases, more.
over, occur almost exclusively,in to "
on her frontier.
If it we're true" continued Prof.
~Bizzezzero, that a good vaccination
wv NSB RASVCOB 44OU SA 1IIDOAS
we ought to find in smallpox
epidemics that the disease diff
uses itself in the well .vaccinated
no less than 10 the non vacci-
mated countries. But it is not so. In
187O-'71, during the Franco German
war, the two peoples inter penetrated
each other, the G erman having it's civil
population vaccinated optionally, but
its army completely revaccinated, while
the French population and army
alike) were vaccinated pertunctorily.
Both were attacked by smallpox; but
the French army numbered % 600
deaths by it, while the German army
had only 278; and in the same tent,
breathing the same air, the French
wounded we're heavily visited by the
disease, while the German wounded,
having been revaccinated, had not a
single case"

Amendment, il adopted, would not be
in conflict with the Constitution OF the
United States; and further, that even
if the 9Th Section (Which is the contro
verified one) were unconstitutional,
and should be go declared by the courts,
the Amendment in its entirety is so
construct. d that it would have to stand
or fall as q whole. The reasons for my
conclusion are set forth in the follow
ing article, which I have written for
publication in answer to the foregoing
inquiries.
''As to the State policy of adopting
the proposed Constitutional Amend
ment, 1 am fully convinced, by thirty
years past observation and familiarity
with current political events and pres
ent political conditions in North Caro-
lima, that the future progress and ma
terial development, lasting peace and
and good order Of society, prosperity
and happiness Of all races, and classes
of citiz 9ns, including men, women and
children within cur S ate, would be
promoted by the adoption of the pro
posed Amendment, and so believing,
with the lights before me, I shall feel
it a patriotic duty to vote at the next
election in favor of the proposed
Amendment, and l hope to see at least
a majority of the voters of the Safe
take the same view of the matter"
