A Vaccination Decision.

A case of unusual public interest in
view of the prevalence of smallpox in
many places in the state was tried at
Red Oak last week before Judge
Wheeler, who granted an injunction re-
straining the school board of that city
from excluding children from attending
the public schools who did not present
certificates of vaccination by scarifica-
ton. 1t seems that Homeopathic physi-
clans vaccinate or innoculate by the
administratio of variolinum internally
and Judge Wheeler in granting the in
junction held that while local boards OF
health have authority to adopt regula-
tions which tend to lessen thei danger
Of the spread of an epidemic they have
not the right to enforce a regulation
which does not recognize the practice
and teaching of SO large school Of
learned, skilled and scientific prac-
ticioners. The case will be taken to the
Supreme Court on appeal for final
decision,
