VACCINATION A GIGANTIC FRAUD.

To THE STATE NORMAL STUDENTS AND
GENERAL PUBLIC:
Knowing vaccination to be a curse and
a menace to health and personal liberty
and since the State Board of Health
(?) has ordered vaccination enforced al
the State Normal, 1 feel it my duty to
throw spark of light upon the subject.
Vaccination has been investigated by
the brightest minds of the present day.
and practically without exception. all
investigators are fighting vaccination.
A thorough investigation results only in
one thing, opposition to it. The state.
ment made by Health Boards, that
vaccination will stop an epidemic, has
no foundation in fact. 1t has never done
SO anywhere. Isolation and quarantine
in every case have done this and then
vaccination has taken the credit. The
Health ~ Commissioner of Chicago in
the 1894 epidemic, after years whole.
sale vaccination, got up before the
Chicago City Council and made a plea
for men to keep quarantine, saying that
nothing else could cope with an cpl
demic.
Doctors cannot tell what vaccination
is. When DR.. Raugh, who was sent
from the United States to appear be-
fore the British Vaccination Commis
sion in 1891, to give evidence as to
vaccination in the U. S.. was asked:
"Dr. Raugh, tell the Commission what
vaccination is" He answered; 81 do
not know" English experts answered
the same question in the same way.
The case for vaccination was so poor
that the Commission, every man at
FIRST a believer in vaccination, in Its
final report recommended that compul-
sorry vaccination be done away with.
and a system of isolation be adopted in
dealing with smallpox.
Vaccine virus, socalled. is rotten
cowpox pus. Cowpox is not smallpox
and nc semblance to it. Ricord. first
showed it was in the syphilis (pox)
class. Creighton and Crookshank
afterwards confirmed his experiments,
but it remained for Herbert Boen's
government vaccinator of Belgium to
trace cowpox to its original source which
he found to be syphilis sores on the
mixers hands and this also confirmed
the experiments of the others in the
same field. that the likeness was with
syphilis not with smallpox.
Now this is bad enough the Lord
knows. but cowpox is not the only
disease that is cotracted from this
virus, which is not virus but rotten

'The Erie is as busy as the equip
ment will allow" said Mr. @. W.,
Clarke, Monday morning. Besides
being busy taking care of business, the
brains of the Erie officials are being
racked for n solution to the problem
Of removing the congestion. We have
built cars by the thousand and the
business has increased faster than we
have been able to prepare for It,
II guess all the other roads are
having pretty much the same trouble.
Those who have single track lines
have just twice as much trouble as
those who have two tracks. No solu-
ton to the difficulty has been found
as yet and all that can be done Is
to go ahead and do the best we can,
hoping in the meantime that some
thing will happen to help us out"

Rev. Smith has baptized Al persons;

Ladies' Aid society has reported

who had been in the employ Of the
company for over 30 years and whom
the Pennsylvania officials themselves
admitted was one of the best in his
line In the country, and this in the
face of the fact that he was known
to use liquor for 25 of the years of his
service.
This official was recognized as a for
midable rival on all business out of his
territory and 1t is said that he has
been offered position with one of
the largest competitors of the Penn
sylvapla. This is the most radical
position ever taken by railroad in
the attempt to stamp out the use of

Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief
of the Navigation Bureau at Washing

that four vice-admirals be created, re-
ducing the number of rear.-admirals to
IA if necessary. 1t Is claimed that the
United States often has been placed In
a humiliating position abroad by rea-
son Of the low rank of its naval rep
resentatives. If the narrowness of
mind and spirit of some of the high
admirals is to be increased in proper
ton as the rank is raised, the Secre-
tary of the Navy will have good rea-
son to ignore Chief Crowninsheld's
recommendations.

Willemstad, Curacao, Oct. 1O.-As
civil engineer who has just arrived
here on his way to Caracas from Bo-
gotta, which he left on September Z,
says that up to the time of his de-
parture the members of the Cabinet
and high officials appeared to be more
deeply concerned with their efforts
to put down the rebellion than with
thoughts of war with Venezuela.
The members of the' Cabinet ad-
mitted to him that the Tachira inva-
sion and the engagement in July un-
der General Rangel Garbiras were re-
grettable mistakes ON the part of
Colombia.
A fair estimate of the Colombian
forces would be, he thinks, 5000 on
