Our last legislature appropriated S.

our farmers might get this serum at

Contagious Diseases and Their Effects
II have been intimately associa -
with number of epidemics of smS~
pox, and have seen several people who
had impaired sight as a result OF the
disease They had followed the advice
of some one who boastingly said they
would rather have smallpox than be
vaccinated, and defective vision was
the result. 1t is an established fact
that vaccination is harmless if prop
erly done, and that it Will protect the
individual from smallpox. Smallpox
could be and would be as scarce in
this country as the itch. if 1t were not
for the ignorant advice given by peo-
pie who mean well but who know not
whereof they speak.
did you ever pause to think how
much harm you do by your free advice
upon subjects you do not understand
II all Of US are called to account for
the lives lost from following the free
advice we give upon subjects of which
we know little or nothing. the kingdom
Of heaven will be as sparsely settled
as the north pole, and the furnace OF
hades will have abundant fuel thru
out all eternity.
