district did not have a single case of
small pox, and that the general health
was good, while in the other districts
there were many cases of small pox and
much sickness and many deaths. We
hope that such doctors will multiply in
the land. We might go on and show
how people have received diseases of the
most terrible and revolving character.
1t is no new thing to go to Germany
for proofs of the value of vaccination.
Halls Journal of Health of Oct. 1860
says: The Prussian, more than sany
government in existence, practices vac
cination, every soldier is re-vaccinated
upon entering the army. Early in 1870.
Dr. Seaton, Of the English local govern
ment board, before the Commons de-
clared that Prussia was we'll protected
and that that country was safe, yet inside
year SO, 839 persons died from ssmall
pox in Prussia, 2,0S2 in Berlin alone.
Nor did the we'll vaccinated S,army fare
any better. DR.. Creighton, the great
epidermiologist, says, evidence as to
re-vaccination on large scale, comes
from the army. The rate from small pox
i'll The German army was 60 per cent
more than among the civil population of
the same age. Bavarian contingent re-
vaccinated without exception, had five
times the death rate. The. statistics of
Prof Vogt, of Berne, prove the same
facts. DR.. J. A. Hensel, late surgeon in
the German army, in an address deliver
ed in Salt Lake City, Feb. 2, 1900, said
in brief, "In June 1888 was on duty in
Strasburg, and over 1000 small pox cases
were i'll the pest house, every one sue
cesslully vaccinated but three months be-
fore for the third time. myself, was laid
up for five weeks, although l had been
vaccinated for the seventh time success
fully. In 1898 witnessed the amputa-
ton of three arms and the discharge of
four men from the army for general dis
ability, all from vaccination" Oh but
some will say that the vaccine was not
pure. Let us see how much the guaran-
tee to furnish pure vaccine, is worth.
Mr.. Farm, director of the National Es-
tablishment in England, when put under
examination before the Royal Commis-
sioners furnished some details that would
be we'll to reflect upon. "He said he was
not medical man. Had not made any
special study of microbes. Would not
be able to recognize or distinguish any
micro-organism if present. Could not
guarantee that any lymph was pure"
The Royal Commission came to the con-
clusion that lymph contains organism,
and may contain those which under GER
tain circumstances would be productive
oferysipelas. There have been some
dozen brands of vaccine, all of course,
claiming to be pure. And now comes
the pure calf lymph, the harmless elixir
which vaccination promoters offer in the
market. Also the aseptic and glycrinat-
ed lymph. DR.. Crookshanks, Prof. of
Pathology and Bacteriology, says: eve
have no known test by which we could
possibly distinguish between lymph
which was harmless and one which was
harmful to the extent of communicating
syphilis"
The definition given to vaccination in
the article before mentioned is out of the
ordinary. "a person is inoculated by
vaccination with an attenuated form of
small pox). DIR. Ranch, chief sanitary
inspector of the United States, went to
England as an expert on vaccination and
told the English commission he did not
know what vaccination was. DR.. Thorn
the chief of the sanitary department of
the British Empire also confessed before
the same commission that he did not
know what vaccination was. During the
hearing before the Pennsylvania Legisla-
tive committee, of all the United States
experts present. each and every one con-
fessed they did not know what vaccina-
ton was. But up here in North Dakota
we know what it is and it should be pub
lished to the world, as scientists have
been looking for it for one hundred
years. $50 vaccination is mild form of
small pox.) DR.. Hall, the health officer,
Of Minneapolis, in his debate with DR.. c.
w. Clarke on Vaccination, the 18th of
last month said, Vaccination is not
small pox." DR.. Klein, OF England, on
of the leading writers on vaccination
claims that it is not small pox, and that
is the reaaon it prevents small pox, and
this same theory is backed up by the
German Prof. Klebs, and after years of
study and experience with hundreds of
cases of both vaccination and small pox
But of course we are not expected to
take their evidence and allow it the same
weight as the evidence of our own doc
tors, who have never seen but few cas-
es of small pox. This, then, is the rea.
son that there is more small pox in the
United States to-day than ever before.
