Gentlemen
-Four years ago today the State
Board Of Health called the attention OF
the people Of the state, through the local
boards OF health. to the then prevalence
Of smallpox IN the various states Of the
nation, and the importance Of vaccination
as the sure means OF its prevention. We
would again bring TO the notice Of the
people the necessity OF attending to this
matter. In Germany every child is re-
qured to he vaccinated before il is one
year old. and revaccinated every 10
years. Since the enforcement OF this
wise provision. in a country where there
was an annual mortality from smallpox
of 1000 to 10000, there have been only
ll6 deaths annually.
We believe this is OF such great moment
that every community should provide for
the vaccination Of every one who has
never been vaccinated, and for the re-
vaccination of those who were vaccinated
more than 10 years ago.
Your board should provide the means
of carrying this into effect. by the APP
pontment of time and place where all
can be vaccinated; those who are able,
to pay; those who are not at the public
expense
In behalf OF the State Board OF Health,
Henry ID. Hoton, Secretary.
