| Vaccination does not produce immun-
ity and its most ardent advocates will

| took a fall out of the anti-tuberculosis
people when he asserted that all this
bowling about the white plague was a
hurnbug. The first move in their plan
is to remove the patient to a sanitar-
ium where he is surrounded by a dis
consulate, crowd of coughing and spit

priving them of the consultations Of
home so dear to those in i'll health.
What's it for? It's to make bust
ness, isn't it? Was there ever time
terest of the people? They want bust
ness, don't they? How are they to
get it unless people are sick?" asked
the speaker.
The doctor quoted DR.. Coudere and
DR.. Ross, French and English physic-
ians at Montreal during the epidemic
of smallpox in which 5000 persons died,
$500 of whom were children These

for the Observation-Disclosures. DIR. Car
penter, q famous physician from Eng
land, visited Montreal and told his
medical friends there that they could
never have an epidemic OF smallpox
because the city was so well vaccinat-
ed. The next year the disease broke
out with terrible results.
There is no such thing as cow pox
and there never was. No one ever
heard of bull pox, or OK pox. Cow
pox is supposed to be an eruption on
the udder. This might result from
the stings of insects, dirty hands of
any other of a dozen causes. 1t is
claimed that COW pox Is a disease
analogous to smallpox. It is not so.
Statistics show that more males have
have cow pox unless they are inocu-
lated. The sores on the udder come
from this incubation. Any one who
says COW pox produces immunity from
smallpox is lying like the devil
The doctor cited cases of cataracts,
1ockjaw, cancer, and other diseases
which could be traced directly to vac
cination. Vaccination poisons the
that cancer is on the increase in coun-
tries where vaccination is practiced.
He attributes its progress entirely to
vaccination. He concluded:
Vaccination is the poisoning Of the
blood. Is it the business Of the doc
tors to make people sick? # the peo-
pie only knew enough to let them alone
they would be better off,
DR., Louis Blumer of Hartford, now
practicing In this city, followed with
an enthusiastic address.
Prof. De Mork plead illness and was
excused from speaking.
