The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-10-13

and the history of the case was freely given, no ''browbeating" of the mother being resorted to or needed.
 I received permission to call again, and to bring with me one of Bridge ports most experienced physicians to see the case, and did so. This physi- elan described the condition as "Perio- steal inflamm with necrosed bone,'' and had no difficulty in tracing and attrfbuting the trouble to its proper cause, vaccination.
 The Publicity Committee admit, in their communication, that 'tit happen vaccinated some weeks before,' and declare that 'the result showed that she was not susceptible to the inocula- ton; the vaccination did not take.' But, their story about the injury re- sulting from a. fal; down stairs was news to me, and, determined to know how much truth there was in this story, I arranged with some gentle men to call on them and secure infor- nation on this point. These gentlemen have just reported to me as follows:
 We called on the DeLally family, now residing on Seaview avenue, near the R. R. crossing. and obtained from the mother the following statement in her daughters case: A few days after the child was vaccinated the arm be-
 
 coctor who told us that the vaccina- tion had not 'taken,'' and that the child must have fallen down and hurt her arm.''
 Dr. Nettleton was the man who vac cinated this child, and if he could be persuaded to tell the truth about the falling down stairs part of the story would have no difficulty in account ing. for the fact that nothing of the kind was told me by the parents on any of my visits.
 When it comes to 'sbrowbeating think that any person who would try to mislead the mother regarding the real cause of her daughters trouble, by suggesting that the child must have fallen down and hurt her arm" has nothing to learn from me, and the scoundrelism on the part of doctor in making the suggestion needs no comment.
 It is regrettab1e that one cannot be permitted to denounce perpetrators of these crimes and their methods of blaming the results of their handiwork to other causes, in proper language through the columns of the press. If If one could, there would soon be an end to compulsory vaccination. The statement that the child has made a perfect recovery and that "her arm has grown to be as strong as if nothing had ever happened to it, must be an absolute falsehood, if the child, the subject of the doctors re- cent "entertainment," is the DeLally girl, for the children in her neighbor- hood told of the great hole in her arm as recently as the 29th of last month.
 If the Publicity Committee are in fact, aware of another similar case which they can publish. so much the worse for them and I hereby cha1- lenge them to jublish this other simi- lar case, giving name, and other ne- cesary data, to permit of an investi- gation.
 However, if this other similar case is merely a bluff I have a case to relate which, in so far as the honor CD of the members of the medical pro- fession is concerned, is very similar to that of the DeLally girl, and while l am about it I will make the case pub lie, as I feel this also to be my duty.
 The case is that of Hazel Schull, 19 years old, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Schu1l, recently of corner of Central and Stratford avenues, this city, made nearly blind by vaccination. F Now, one of the doctors who ap- peared at the hearing on vaccination before the Board of Education, last year, stated in his address ''that the statement that her blindness resulted from vaccination was false, as he had interviewed the mother and learned that her daughter had suffered from eye trouble from infancy, and that her affliction was not in any way due to vaccination"
 I know the doctors statement to be false, for I had personally investigated this case. Wishing, however, to be in position to absolutely disprove so false a statement, should occasion to do so present itself again, I again call ed at the Schull home, taking with me a representative of one of our daily papers, who made the following record of the interview:
 'tMrs. Schull not only denied that she had made the statement credited to her by the doctor, but she also de- clared that no doctor had called on her in relation to the matter. and she re- 1terated her former statement made to Major Boudren that she fully believed her daughters affliction was the direct result of vaccination. Both MT. and interview, and they gave the following history of their daughters case: Miss Schull was vaccinated when but a child of three years. At that time the family resided in Meriden. A week after the operation of vaccina- tion was performed the girl was seized with cOnVulSionS, and these continued for a year. Then her eyesight became affected. At first her trouble was only slight but it steadily grew worse until she was scarcely able to see at all. The best medical attention possible was se- cured for her, and after treatment by specialists for over a dozen years Miss Schull's sight has somewhat improved
