Stop Pfating About susceptibility to
Vaccination.

Chief Medical Inspector Of the Chi
cage Health department, d.. Spauld-
ing, forcibly calls attention to the
false impression concerning i~nsuscept-
Utility to vaccination held by many
persons, and even BY some medical
men. They argue chat because a.child
has had six or seven attempts at vac
%oination without its taking" the
child is unacceptable, and often ask
permission for such q child to go TO
school without the required certificate.
1t should be clearly understood that
no one is unsusceptible to vaccine
ton any more than to smallpox. "One
successful vaccination can be secured
In every person; to this, there is no
exception" Recently q reputable
physician wrote me that he and two
other physicians had yaccinated his
little child seven times without result,
and asked the Chicago Health Depart
ment for permission to enter the girl
at school without certificate, as he be-
lieved she was not susceptible. The
Department advised him to try again
~with~accine lymph furnished by the
department. He did SO and has since
written that the child has q typical
vaccination, which ~insures her i'm
munity from smallpox. If this eighth
trial had not been made the story
would have gone out that it was a
case of insusceptibility-a condition
that does not exist-and if she had
been subsequently attacked with small
pox it would be claimed that she had
been v%accinated, and the case cited by
the anti-vacoinists as proof Of the inu-
tility of vaccination as q preventative
Of smallpox.
"a striking and hideous illustration
Of the evils of teaching insusceptibil-
ity to vaccination was furnished dur
ing the week in the neighboring town
of Hammond, in which q cashier in
the bank was stricken with smallpox
in its worse form. He died on the
seventh day of the attack with hem
m%orrhagic smallpox. He had had four
attempts at vaccination, and because
1t did not take,' was told he was in

Gin For Personal Use.

Soc1 after Senator Tillman' 8 dispen-

A Live Wire Fence.

The Scientific American gives the
following account Of an accident which
overlook q herd Of COWS during q thun-
der storm last fall in Plaia6eld, Ill:
ut would seem that iSe unfortunate
creatures had drifted toward a wire
fence, when the lightning fell upon a
tree standing about thirty feet from
the fence, causing the death of TWEEN
ty.eight of them. AS there are no
signs whatever on the fence Of the d.
rect effect Of lightning, it must be
supposed that the COWS killed fell vic.
Tins to the s~o-oalled return stroke.
1t Is well known that persons standing
near q conductor occasionally receive
q more or less severe shock when the
lightning strikes some neighboripg OBJ
ject. This is readily explained if we
remember that just before the light
ming occurs such a conductor must
have been at a high electric potential,
which is suddenly reduced enormously
by the lightning discharge. A per-
son standing near such a conductor,
and not adequately insulated, partici-
pates in this sudden change, and the
effect is evidently the same as if he
received a powerful discharge. Fatal
cases of this kind have been noted
fairly frequently, but it is very doubt
full if such extensive loss Of life has
ever been recorded before as the result
Of the phenomenon, and VIC are not
surprised to hear the oldest oettlers Of
the district assert that they never
heard Of 80 many COWS being killed at
a time. Fortunately no human life
was lost, and, happily for the owners,
the COWS were all insured and no diff
Guilty arose about the payment. The
men who removed the hides from the
dead COWS remarked that dark streaks
could be seen under the skins"

Pneumonia Contagious.

1t not frequently happens that peo-
pie who take the best care of them
selves are sometimes attacked by that
dread disease, pneumonia, and they
are at a loss to account for it.
1t IS o fact not generally known that
pneumonia is highly contagious, and
there is the greatest danger in coming
in contact with the micro organism
in the sputo of those suffering from
this disease.
1t is important, therefore. that the
same care should be taken in handling
pneumonia patients hat would bo
taken with the consumptives..
A writer in American Medicine
brings out some strong points about
the contagious character of pneumonia
which it would be we'll for all to un-
derstand. He asserts that pneumonia
is far more contagious even tkan
tuberculosis, and he produces figures
to show that the morality from pneu-
MONA is in some cities far greater
than the morality from consumption.
This writer quotes from the bulletin
OF the Chicago health department,
which says that in the last two years
the deaths from pneumonia in that
city have been one eighth of all, and
46 per cent more than all other con-
tagious and Infections diseases COM
bined.
1t is further asserted that the great
spread of this disease is due mainly to
the carelessness Of patients and their
friends who ignore the contagiousness
of pneumonia, as well as to profess
sional negligence.
