The Poet Oliver Wendell Holmes
WittiCism.

The great poet, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, once said: 'If all drugs were
thrown into the sea, it would be all the
better for mankind, and all the worse
for the fishes" Of course the genial
poet referred only to poisonous drugs
as used by the most physicians. He
certainly could not have meant all
medicines, for nature, in her woods
and fields, has been most prolific in
yielding up her treasures of harmless,
vegetable remedies for every disease.
The wonderful discoveries of the fa-
nous DR.. Greene of 35 West 14th St.,
New York City, amply prove the fact.
Indeed. this skilled specialist in the
treasment of nervous, chronic and
lingering complaints, uses in his enor-
nous practice. absolutely no poisonous
drugs, but confines his treatment sole
Iy to the use of harmless vegetable
remedies. His worldwide known med
icine. DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and

remarkable discoveries. His extraOr-
dinary success in curing diseases Of
whatever name or nature, the innu-
merable restorations to health under
the use OF these marvellous curative
medicines as prescribed by DR.. Greene,
establish beyond doubt that nature has
provided remedies for each and every
phase of disease, and that DR.. Greene,
by his deep investigations and his
Enormously large experience, has dis.
covered and prepared remedies which
surely and certainly cure these compli
Gated cases of chronic disease. Any
Isufferer can demonstrate this fact. al
DR.. Greene gives all the privilege O
lconsulting him, personally Or by letter
absolutely free of charge. If you ar
lout of health and have failed to b.
Icured, see DIR. Greene at once, or writ
to him freely and fully about you
case. You can do so in perfect AM
absolute confidence. He will explain
your complaint and advise you wha
to do to be cured.

Vaccination and "PsrsoaaI Rights"

The arrest and temporary detention
in a Baltimore police station of a
young lady who refused to submit to
the vaccinating process at the hands
Of an official operator has fccust
public attention upon an interesting
question. While compulsory vaccina-
tion may be, when technically viewed,
an Infringement of personal rights y
it becomes justifiable because it is for
the general good that the individual is
required to make some sacrifice of the
freedom guaranteed to him or her un
der our form Of government
The Health Department physicians
who are now engaged in carrying out
the orders of Commissioner Jones to
see that all persons ale properly vac
clnated so as to prevent an outbreak of
small pox may frequently be question
ed as to their right to vaccinate anyone
against his will. The usual reply to
| such questions, in order to dispose of
them speedily. is to assure inquirers
that the authorities have full power to
compel an individual to submit to the
| requirements of the law. 1t is, how
ever, advisable that the official vaccina-
tors should do all in their power to
avoid controversies and to explain to
everyone, even at the cost of some
time and Inconvenience. the reasons
which actuate the Health author
tiles in their scheme of general vac
cination.
There are number of persons-not
large proportion of our population,
it is true-whO are opposed to vaccina-
tion upon the ground that it may COM
municate to their blood diseases other
than smallpox, but maladies, which
are to them no less Objectionable.
When such people are met with, the
duty of the physicians should be to
consult the regular practitioner who
attends the persons in question and en-
deavor to enlist his influence to induce
them to submit There are others,
also, who have a timid fear of even the
scratch of knife point who have to
be sOothed into submission In other
words, the regular vaccine physicians
should study to be firm, but tactful, in
performing their sometimes disagreea-
BILE duties, and the people generally
ought also to assist them so far as it
lies in their power to do so.
To sum up, those who are opposed
to vaccination should gracefully yield
their personal rights" as a conces-
sion to the public welfare. Expert
ence has proven beyond all doubt that
the ravages of smallpox have been
greatly lessened since the practice of
vaccination, and, even assuming that
the injection of virus into the blood is
sometimes harmful, it cannot be de-
MED that, considering both vaccina-
tion and smallpox as evils, the former
is by far the less of the two. Let our
anti vaccinatiOnists console them
selves with this view of the question
and all will be well.-Baltimore Her
