REvAcCINATIoN.
Only Safe Course If You Would Be
Immune from Smallpox.

Only SAFE course II you Would De
Immune from Smallpox.
Inasmuch as a few persons,
though successfully y%accinated,
have acquired smallpox after
ward, it is now believed that the
benefit of that operation is not al
ways as lasting as was once
taught. Hence it is wise for PEG.
pie who have not been freshly vac
cinated for several years to under
90 revaccination when the disease
is known to be prevalent in their
neighborhood. If the operation
is properly performed, and no re-
suit follows, it may be safely as
sumed that the immunizing effect
of previous vaccinations is not ex.
hausted. But if it "takes" one
may conclude that the precautiOn
was necessary. The length of
time during which protection con-
tinues varies greatly. Instances
are on record where it lasted only
a year, while with most people the
immunity extends over a much
longer period.
1t sometimes happens that a
person who has never been vac
cinated at all before, and has not
had smallpox, will not developt the
usual soreness when inOculated,
In fact, three or four successive
VACCINATIONS, at intervals Of a few
days, will occasionally produce no
apparent effect. To explain a
very small percentage Of such
failures, it is conceded that a few
people enjoy a natural immunity
but such cases are thought to be
exceedingly rare. Suspicion nat
urally arises in regard to the
quality of the virus and the meth
cd Of incubation. When the virus
is old or has been improperly pre-
pared, it maynot work. fla physi
clan finds that attempts fail Will

NEARLY 1000 DEATHS DUE
TO ACCIDENTS IN NEW YORK
Fatalities Increasing In Much Faster
Ratio Than the Growth of
Population.

New York. Oct 3-OflciaI figures OF
the Board OF Health covering a period Of
three years show that the number OF per
sons killed annually in the streets Of New
York is increasing in an alarming degree
These fatalities are growing on more
than an even ratio with the growth of
population and business. which indicates
either that pedestrians are becoming more
careless OF their safety in the streets or
that drivers or cars and vehicles are
growing more reckless and the police less
vigIIant in enforcing the ordinances which
now exist for the regulation OF street
traffic.
In the year 1901 there were Az persons
killed by vehicles and street railways.
In 1902 the number OF such deaths grew
to 5S. When the figures OF 1893 are COM
piled the death list from street accidents
viii have reached nearly 10p0. estimating
from the number already recorded
The list OF accidents was increased early
to-day when Mrs. Catherine McInerny
carrying her j-mouths-Cd child. was run
down bv a heavy truck in Fifth avenue
Brooklyn. Mother and child had their
skulls fractured and will die.
