THE TErANUS SCARE.
OmciaIs OF Camden, n. j.. Take 40.
tiOn In the Matter.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. -- The
alarm that has been caused by the nine
cases Of tetanus following vaccination
IN Camden, N. j., has aroused the city
officials there to take prompt action in
the matter. The board of health and
the board Of education each held meet
ings yesterday. ThAl'orner decided to
request physicians to cease vaccinating
bersons until an investigation as to the
iause OF the lockjaw cases has been
made. and the latter rescinded the Or
der of compulsory vaccination Of all
schoolchildreD. OF the nine eases of te-
tan,ls 80 far reported seven of the VIC
tins have died. and the other two are
still in IL dangerous condition.
The board Of health appointed com
mitter of three to act in conjunction
with the county physician and make II
complete investigation of the whole
matter. DR.. II. ii. Davis, president Of
the board, in stating the purpose of the
call, said he did not believe that vacci.
nation was the direct cause of tetanus,
but as the city was thoroughly aroused
and the people were looking to the
board of health for some action he be-
lcved something should be done.
There have been several cases Of te-
tanus following vaccination reported in
Philadelphia. but 10 official action has
been taken. The question Of compulso-
ry vaccinatio Of school children and
teachers has been taken to the courts
and resulted in a verdict in favor Of
vaccination. The ease was that of Il
girls high school teacher who refused
to be- vaccinated She was suspended
by the school board and she carried
her ease to court. The board was s,ls-
tained, and the teacher was dismissed
from the services of the city. She took
an appeal to the supreme court.
At Bridgeton, N. j.. Miss Hilda Ro-
cap, a well known music teacher, is in
a critical condition as a result of vacci-
nation. Miss Recap Il few days ago
was vaccinated on one Of her limbs.
The whole side of her body became
paraIyzed. and she is suffering greatly.
A specialist at Philadelphia has been
sent for to make an examination.
