THE VACCINATION FIGHT.
The hottest fight United States is the vaccination
fight The Eagle thought for years that the piano stencil
fight quite thing but it paes beside the vaccination
conflict
Unless you in newspaper Office great many fights
occur that you never get to enjoy and you have con
fine yourself political campaigns the methods which
are hackneyed.
But in newspaper Office which receives all sorts Of
pamphlets, great many strenuous affairs to hand.
We have never permitted any of them to so by. We
have read volumes the alum baking powder fight with
the greatest interest The pamphlets in well
written and crushing
The piano stencil fight which ragged in pamphlets for
some time has rather lost its interest with u.s.
finally convinced that the who tack any sort
Of a a piano could have our permission.
Every once in while somebody gets hot and lets go
thirteenInch shell question Of vaccination These
attacks positively the most ferocous things put
We have an characterization attack before US Dewey is
not yalorous enough to read permit himself

The who opens the broadside on vaccination gives
those whom calls pompous poisongving vaccination
doctor brutes" this sort of touch as preliminary pro
great majority of medical men sustain it The great
majority medical men opposed Harveys discovery of

real and scientific reform in the healing art"
The writer of this pamphlet tries to show by authori
ties that hebrewed virus is absolutely good that it
results DEATH corrosive ulcers on the arms ganduar

inactable diseases Of tho eyes ears and scalp
He quotes instance child which after being vac
cinated, had its eyes eaten out before it died
The pamphlet claims boards of health systemati
cay up smallpox scares in order to vaccinate It
claims that the medical officers health boards are in
general needy seedy lot of Office seekers of very lin
tied medical knowledge who it impossible to make an
honest living by regular practice and consequently resort
to vaccination and other kindred expedents that no
cessful practitioner would descend to-"
But the pamphlet really foams when it comes to the
subject of compulsory vaccination One authority says
While believe the duty Of every good citizen to obey
good law believe it the duty of every good man and
woman to despise and resist even death all laws for
the compulsory enforcement of vaccination do not hest

cnaton myself family I would resist even unto
death. Resistance TO tryants is obedience to God"
This clearly business. Even in their most rabid
moments the baking powder fellows the piano stencil
fighters never threatened to kill anybody.
The pamphlet didn't convince US We are still for vac

pamphlets the subject
