The people of Leicester, by abandon
ing compulsory vaccination, have taken
the law into their own hands, and
have set expert medical opinion at de-
fiarce; but that is no reason why we
should refuse to study their experiment
and learn from it all we cans
In his Report on Small-po Epi.
denic in Leicester in 1903,' page 10.
DIR. Millard says:
''The name of Leicester has come to
be inseparably connected with the agi-
tation against compulsory vaccination
and in no other large town have the
vaccination laws been so completely set
at defiance. For the last twenty years,
in fact. they have been practically a
dead letter, all attempts at compulsion
having been openly abandoned. Prior to
that period, however, Leicester ranked
as a well vaccinated town.
During the years 1872-1S76, when
Leicester was a well vaccinated town,
the general average death rate from all
causes was 25.18. The population of
the borough at that time was less than
one hundred thousand. During the last
thirty-give years the general death rate
in Leicester has steadily decreased, pari
passu, with the decrease in vaccination,
until at the time of the Annual Report
for 1908 it had reached the phenome-
nally low figure of 1898. while in 1909
it had fallen to 1890 Leicester's popu-
lation in 1909 numbered nearly 250, 900.
1t is therefore seen that well-vaccin-
ated Leicester of 1925 had a general
death rate almost double that of unvac-
cinated Leicester of 1909, although the
population had nearly trebled since
1876.
Since vaccination was abandoned in
Leicester the infant mortality in that
borough had been steadily DECREASING
until it reached in 1908 the unprece-
dentedly low figure of 1897 per thou
sand births.
This control experiment by unvaccin-
ated Leicester, town which has for
quarter of a century been declared by
the partisans of the vaccine nostrum
to be "a indus for smallpox to settle in
and propagate ITSELF" has demonstrated
beyond cavil that vaccination is not only
wholly unnecessary and utterly useless
as. an anti-variolous measure, but also
that it is actually pernicous and disas-
trous in its effects upon the public
health DR.. Nillard tells us that 'vae-
cination reached it slowest point in Lei
cester in 1895, when only seventy-five
vaccinations were registered out of five
thousand births" This means that only
fifteen children out of every thousand

be the inevitable result, experience has
completely falsified all these ominOus
predictions and entirely upset the Jen
merriam theory that smallpox is espe-
ciallyf dangerous TO the unvaccinated.
Leicester has clearly demonstrated that
vaccination, if it does anything at all,
increases liability to smallpox and rem
ders it nearer fatal, and that the only
effective plan by which to abolish the
"dread disease" (small pox) from a mu-
nicipality is TO do as Leicester did; that
is, abandon vaccination AMI devote at
tention and energy to sanitation and to
the isolation of such few cases of
smallpox as are wont to occur in the
absence of preventive" vaccination
The happy experience of this great and
populous borough in its dealings with
smallpox during the past thirty-eight
years should be all-sufficient to carry
the conviction to any logical and I'M
biassed mind that preventive" vaccina-
tion is an absurd, senseless, futile and
pernicious process. Yet, strange to tell,
this wonderfully clear and conclusive
test experiment, which proved beyond
peradventure the utter uselessness and
worse than uselessness of vaccine inocu-
lation as a prophylactic measure against
smallpox infection, goes UNDECIDED and
ignored by the self -serving partisans of
the Jennerian doctrine, who as a class
seem to be either phenomenally stpuid
and grossly ignorant, or else wilfully
blind to the true history of the effects

the vaccine practice who has not studied
these decisive statistics on this subject
of vital Importance to the whole human
race is guilty of culpable negligence and
is not entitled to hold an opinion on the
subject Of vaccination. ANY candidate

has not devoted the necessary time re-
quired for the careful study Of the cases
of Leicester and Japan, but is ready to
vote for coercive legislation for the en-
forcement of this disease transmitting
