THERE ARE still many peoplein the
world who are ayerse to vaccination.
Delegates representing every state In
the union assembled iu Philadelphia
this week to perfect national organi-
zstion to oppose all forms OF compul-
sorry medical practice, chiefly comPul-
sorry vaccination. 1t is alleged by some
that vaccination causes more disease
than it prevents, and that sll compulsory
medical practice is oppressive, If not
&C ually unconstitutional. A long list
of fatalities charged against vaccination
will be presented to the convention. An
official bulletin published by the Penn
sylysnia Anu-Vsccinatio League says:
Ia Philadelphia during the ten years
Immediately preceding the enforcement
of the vaccination school laws, from 1883
TO 1894, there were ll3 deaths from
smallpox while during the four years
from 1901 to 1904, when the compul-
sory vaccination law WAS being most
rigidly enforced, there died 10 the Mu-
nicipal Hospital of smallpox 76 persons.
10 Marietta, where vaccine is manu-
featured from the virus OF smallpox,
there we're more than fifty cases in 1900
bat In Erie, where it has been found
impossible to enforce the compulsory
vaccination law, there has been only
one death from smallpox in tweuty-h
years. Ia Waynesboro, where the
entire population is opposed to vstc!-
nation, there has not been q case Of
smallpox since the civil war, nor death
from that disease in sixty-f1nr years.
