eddy been spread in the Islands by the
d old time method of hand to hand vac
d clnation by means of which all the
germs OF disease of whatever kind were
u transferred from one person to the
o other However. these times had
d changed and the method Of vaccinatinf
o today was absolutely safe. No such

10 vaccine virus of the local Board o
& Health was obtained from New Zealant
'e and that the matter contained in tn,
y Theoretically sealed tubes was obtained
l. from perfectly clean calves. He thel
1t branched off into the ravages OF small
pox and stated that vaccination wa
ID more necessary here than In any othe
lie country as a preventive. The Island
Ig were subject to the bringing In Of tn
It disease from the Mainland and iron
ut Oriental ports. II 1t was the desire o
III the legislators to have a wholesal
st sweeping off OF the natives, then tn
RS thing to do was to pass the bill whic
