DOESN'T BELIEVE
IN VACCINATION

BRUNSWICK. Ca, Sept. % 1902.
Editor Atlanta Journal Atlanta. Ca:
Dear Sir: Your editorial. The Deadly
Resorts" in your issue Of September 2lst,
| is worthy of note. With the approaching
winter season there has appeared little
mention in the papers concerning the evil
/ which our southern cities must face year
ly. and that is SMALLPOX" and ''vaccina-
ton
Ere long some of our medical Smart
Alexis will commence preaching ana
practicing vaccination regardless Of the
baneful effects ii has produced upon the
| victims in other cities.
We have but to recall the experience OF
81. Louis and Camden, n. j.; the many
who died Of lockjaw, having been inocu-
lated with the poisonous vaccine virus
It was left for Cleveland, Ohio, to prove
| that the only thing that will eliminate
! smallpox is proper sanitation.
Any sensible physician will testify that
/ vaccination does not prevent smallpox
but very often produces lockjaw.
Our leading doctors have taken the
stand against vaccination and are inau-
gurating and emphasizing the real RENE
! dy-cleanliness.
If the department OF health in every
city will adopt the proper course, small
| pox will becomes thing of the past IN
| this country as has cholera in most coun-
tries throughout Europe.
One noted physician in New York. Dr.
| r. s. Ciymer, challenges any physician
in the world TO contradict or disprove his
statements that 1t is not a germ that
| causes death to one afflicted with lock-
| jaw, but vaccination.
Fer the benefit of The Journal read
ers, part of the doctors discourse IS
| quoted here:
| Vaccine virus is a poison the same as
| strychnine. only it is injected into the
/ blood, the action on the cells is the same.
AS soon as the vaccine is injected into the
| blood, these cells (molecular) knowing
/ that an enemy has entered. will at once
start a fight for life. If the vitality o.
the person vaccinated Is very strong. the
poison will not enter any further than the
| wound. The cells will force it out and
| it does not enter the BLOOD In this case
the vacclnators say that 1T did not take (;
| (good thing IL did not. or the healthy
! blood would be poisoned.) If the vitality
| Of the person is not so strong. the pus
| poison will enter the blood, killing some
o. the cells and causing sickness. in
/ which case the vaccine has taken. There
| is now fight within the BODY between
| lis poison and the cells for life; If the
| vitality of these cells is strong enough.
re poison viii be forced out of ne sys-
| tenn by the cells by causing rash to APP
| pear over the body. If, however, the per-
this poison out of the system, then the
1 vaccine virus now mixed up In the blood.
| will slowly, according to the strength of
lie person, kill the cells of the blood, and
as fast as they are killed. the heat and
| life of the person GIBBS out, until at last
there is not enough heat and vitality in
| the system to control the nerves and
muscles of the body. and the jaws lock
! ar the muscles become stiff, and we
! have lockjaw. 1t will be seen that germ
is not necessary. II 1t is a germ that
| kills the vaccinated person, then it is also
| germ that kills the person who takes
| strychnine, and if ii is a germ in the
strychnine then that germ is in the
| strychnine at all times. The scientific con-
c-usion is that both strychnine and vac
! cine virus are poisons and that they kI-.
or cause the death of those that die from
| them by killing the cellular molecules
which our body is an aggregation Of
1T were well for our physicians to lay
theories asioe and observe facts closer; to
create proper sanitary conditions in our
| cities.
Hygiene properly applied will do more
to rid our infested cities of this pest
than car loads of vaccine virus.
With the opening of schools it is utterly
essential that parents and teachers con-
slider the danger, and not permit the chill
dren to be inoculated with the poisonous
stuff
Let every board of health enforce clean
illness but not vaccination.
Danish the fear of germs and know that
a healthy body cannot be assailed by dis
ease.
AS the season is drawing on, common
sense alone by medico as we'll as laymen
will prove the real remedy.
