DR.. Leverson, referred to above,
further adds;
ut is to the credit of Homeop-
athy that so large a proportion of
its advocates are awakened to the
infamy of vaccination"
On the back of his printed chart
on the Pathology of Vaccination"
is the picture Of a boy, John
Pfaender, whom he describes as
follows, IA child of healthy Swiss
parents, born Sept. 20, 1873. He
was healthy until vaccinated, a
sturdy and beautiful child, as were
also his four brothers and sisters.
He walked at the age of nine
months. On the 10th of June,
1876, he was vaccinated by the
official vaccinator. Eight days
later his feet began to swell, alb
scesses formed, his teeth began to
rot, and his glands to swell. Fis-
tulous sores appeared on his hands
and feet. The above photograph
was taken in May, 1882. He could
neither walk nor stand. Several
of the bones of his hands had rot
ted out.
sit was such cases as this, and
the spirit of liberty, not yet dead
in Switzerland, which led that
freedOm-loving people to reject on
a referendum the infamous system
of blood-poisoning, called vaccina-
ton. There are thousands of such
cases.
Ordinary Vaecinia-the name
given by the vaccinists to the dis
ease produced by vaccination-is a
more severe disease than ordinary
smallpox. Severe Vaccinia is a
very much more severe disease
than severe smallpox, and often
lasts thruout the life of the patient.
Fatal smallpox is less to be dread
ed than fatal vaccinia, because ii
is less painful and less lingering,
1t cannot be shown that vaccina-
ton ever protected a human being
from smallpox except by killing
him."
DR.. Leverson is the man who
published an extract of that enor.

before the Royal British Com.

1889 by the British Government
"to inquire into the effect of vac.

The fact that compulsory vaccina

after the work of that commission

example will yet be followed in al
other countries in the world.
DR.. F. NJ. Gustin, of Unior
City, Ind, when the vaccination
of school children was required
came out against it as follows;
