 COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY TO DEBATE

vaccination did not take; but some- thing took for a short time after wards broke out with an annoying skin disease that took me several years of hygienfc living to eradicate from my system.
 "A prominent physician of Niagara Falls and an able writer and scholar in an introduction to one of his papers, uses the following language: Thankless Task
 "In opposing vaccination I am aware that it is a thankless task to every one who attempts to move for ward in the work of medical progress is sure to encounter.
 K Tn order that I may not be re- garded as prejudiced against the dog ma of vaccination I will preface my remarks with the confession that was at one time myself a confiding dupe of the tradition of the dairy malsfs. While attending medical co- lege I was told that innoculation with coWNpox virus was certain preven- tive of smallpox, and like most other medical students I accepted with child-like faith and credulity the dic- tum of my teachers as to much in- fallible wisdom. After an experience derived from treating a number of cases of post-vaccinal smallpox in patients who gave evidence of having been recently and successfully vac
 
 the unpleasant fact that protective vaccination was not all that was claimed for it. I thereupon began a study of the vaccination problem in all it's bearings. After several years of reading. observation and experience l became fully convinced that tsuc- cessfuP vaccination not only fails u protect it's subjects from smallpox but, that, in reality. it renders them more susceptible to this disease by im- pairing their health and vitality, and by diminishing their, power of resist ance.
 ''The doctors do not state in their plea for human blood poisoning. just which brand of the 72 varieties of concentrated corruption should be given the credit for saving millions of lives
 They tell us that Tt is impossible to describe the horrors from small pox, but I assure you that if the doc- tors knew their busirless there would not te many horrors fOr the m to de- scribe in connection with the disease we call smallpox, and the pit ted faces we see are sure marks of the incom- potency of the attending doctor
 T might add that it is also impos- sible to describe the filthy conditions which made such malady poss ble.
 ''One writer tells us that out of 5000 vaccinations Gin St. Louis) not one solitary instance of injury occurred Here is his logic:
 Lou Can SCrap6 a Smail-DOX corpse of it's filthy pus, inoculate a half dcz- en calves with it's corruption, pass it through several monkeys ard then mix it up ill glycerine and inject it in- to the sweed body of a little child, and mo injury will come from it.
 When vaccination takes it means blood poisoning. It has def'ed the blood of countless thousands. and placed upon it's victims the stamp of consumption. cancer and syphilis. as well as many other terrible maladies.
 ''The medical profession has planted tuberculosis by compulsion in the reca end now calls for another virus to drive their mischief from the life stream of humanity where they have defi1ed it.
 What we need is q civilization which would teach the ways of right living making disease impe ssible! And a court which would put into the peni-
