the next day. The health Office of
Berlin showed in 1891 1000 deaths re-
sulting from vaccination.

mate is possible of the harm done by
this vicious practice, as many fatal
ties are covered up; but it is response
Bile for the long death lists of erysipe-
las, heart disease, tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, kidney disease and insanity. In
fact, almost any disease that flesh is
heir to may be attributed to vaccina-
ton. Herbert Spencer is quoted as
saying that the ravages of influenza
of recent years are directly attribute
bic to vaccination and that la grippe
was never such a menace TO health
until vaccination became almost uni
versal." Infantile syphilis increased in
England, from 1853 to 1853, in proper
ton to vaccination. DR.. Cruewell, con-
sidered by many high medical au-
thority, swore under oath: Every in
oculation of so-cailed prolectic pox is
syphilitic poisoning" Thus it is con
tended that even if smallpox has vir-
tually been annihilated, general NOR
tsIity has increased, and there is every
reason to attribute this to the practice
of vaccination.
The fact that the town of Leicester,
in England. has prohibited vaccination
and that smallpox has been unknown
there for years is held UP as an exam
pie of what all towns would be with
out it.
Many of the opposition justify their
opinions simply upon the ground that
compulsion interferes with liberty and
that taxation without education is tyr
rany. A strong expression used is that
rebellion to tyrants is obedience to
God" The claim is made that the law
was not passed at the instigation of
nor by the wish of the people, but that
it was through the efforts of "a few
political doctors and in the interests of
the vaccine trust"
In refusing to comply with the law,

ference with their religious belief Go

to grant to each and every one freedom

In Favor of Vaccination.
The majority of medical practition-
ers throughout the world are strong in
their support of the Jenner theory of
vaccination and scarcely consider it
worth while to attempt to refute the
views of the "fanatical anti-vaccina-
ton party" Such authorities as John
F. ]. Sykes of London, John William
Moore of Dublin, Pasteur, Koch and
Sir John Simons will be freely quoted
i'll this treatise. The mass of evidence
confirming the protective power of
vaccination and revaccination is ire
sistible and opposition to it is due prin-
cipally to the objection to compulsion.
The objects of compulsion are the abb
solute necessity of protecting the larg-
est percentage possible of the popula-
ton for the benefit of the whole com
nlunity; to secure regular and suffi-
cient supply Of LYMPH to prevent I'M

THE California Anti-Compulsory
Vaccination League is the name
Of a new organization that
4 threatens California. It's object
is to create sentiment throughout the
State against the compulsory vaccina-
ton OF public school children as now
required by the State school law. A
determined effort on the part of those
actively connected with this new So
ciety will be made to have the vaccina-
ton act wiped from the statutes at the
coming session of the State Legisla-
ture. AS the matter now stands the
law seems to have been thoroughly
tested, as the State Supreme Court has
three times affirmed it's validity. Many
are satisfied with the law which pro-
hibits the attendance at school of hill
dren having contagious diseases.
The most active agitation seems to
have conferred in Oakland and Berke-
ley. where legal measures have been
taken to restrain the Boards of Edu-
cation from enforcing tfe law. The
school authorities are, however, deter
mined to insist upon strict compliance
with the law. with the result that IN
Berkeley sS5 pupils of the public
schools were excluded from the class
rooms.
AS a result Of the antagonism of the
opposing forces, mass meetings have
been held and overcrowded halls have
been proof OF the interest Of the COM
munities in the agitation.
The purpose of this article is not to
take sides for or against vaccination,
but to present the arguments and sta
tistics introduced by both factions, that
4 clear understanding may be had Of
the matter as regarded from different
points Of view.
Anti Vaccination.
At the anti-vaccination meetings it is
pointed out that people suffer from
lack Of knowledge and that the theory
Of vaccination has not been strength
ened by virtue of its age.
The most important objections made
TO the incubation of virus as now
practiced by most physicians are that
it cannot be proven that smallpox cpl
denies have been lessened by its prac-
tice; that vaccine causes the system to
become impregnated with different poi
sons; that there is an increased NOR
tality from diseases inoculated into
the system by vaccination, and the law
of compulsion is considered un-Ameri-
can It Is claimed that vaccination is
a risky business" and a filthy fad"

perstition, first promulgated by a bar
Der named Jenner.
To prove its inefflciency such au-
thoritiss as DR.. Charles Ruata, DR..
Buckner Basel, DR.. Gregory, DR.. Crue-
well, DR.. Stowell and the late Herbert
Spencer are freely quoted. A number
Of periodicals are published in support
of the characterization theory, notably
the Anu-Vaccination Inquirer Of Lon
don and one published in Terre Haute,
Indiana, called Vaccination. DR.. Greg
DRY, medical director of the London
Smallpox Hospital, in the Medical
Times of January. 1852, is quoted as
saying: THE idea of extinguishing
smallpox by vaccination is as absurd
