SOME EFFECTS OF
VACCINATION in
CITY OF ST. LOUIS
fFrom the Railway Herald.)


(From the Railway Herald.)
A short time ago I spent week in
st. Louis. During that week there
We're three deaths of children from te-
tanus Qockjaw). all the direct result Of
vaccination.
The Board of Health had been very
busy. and all children that could not
show a scar were vaccinated, this
without consent Of the parents or of
the child.
For each vaccination the city paid
the kind doctors delegated to do the
work, the sum Of fifty cents.
That is to say, these physicians OPP.
Grated on healthy children, introduce
ing poison into their systems, thus
giving them a disease, in order to
prevent them from having one-all for
half a dollar per child.
AS before stated, these children died,
and scores of others were made SER
iously III. How many were poisoned
for life no one knows.
Children know all that the parents
know, and the report that vaccination
had killed several struck panic to the
hearts of those not yet vaccinated.
Many children refused to go to school
for fear of the doctors.
And such was the alarm through
n 0n-attendance at school that the
School Board called a meeting and
passed resolution asking the Board
of Health to desist from these fifty
cent operations until the question Of
the quality of the virus used could
be passed upon.
Now there is no such thing as
"pure virus" Vaccine virus is poi
son in itself. And vaccination, if it
takes" always reduces the resilien-
cy or resisting power of the patient,
laying him open to any germ that
may be fly ng around that way.
The President of the Board of Health
took refuge behind the law, which re-
quired him to vaccinate the school
children. But personally he said he
thought the whole system was founded
on superstition, and on a very bar
rem assumption. Said the physician:
Many people who are vaccinated
never have smallpox. To assume that
Those who are vaccinated would have
smallpox If they were not vaccinated
IS childish reasoning, fit only for those
who are willing to accept tainted
plea, because they are already con-
WINGED.
"I must admit that the logic of
vaccination is no reason at all, and
could only appeal to prejudiced igno-
rant and unthinking people. 'I wish
we were rid of the whole thing, but
1 am not strong enough to stem the
ton. the books and colleges uphold it,
and this thing will go on until the
people revolt, which I hope they will
do soou.''
Here we get the expression Of an
honest man-an Allopath physician
caught In the tolls of custom.
Physicians are instructed from books
colleges, by professors who were
taught from books in colleges.
This is not knowledge; it is the
memorizing of things evolved many
years ago by men who knew much less
than we do.
Very few physicians know how to
live. Everywhere you find doctors
who are soaked in tobacco. booze and
dope, breathing foul air, thinking vile
thoughts, resorting to stimulatings as a
pick-me-up.
These are the men who uphold vac
cination-these are the men who as
saulted the school children of st. Louis
and forced poison into their healthy
bodies for fifty cents body.
oh, the shame Of it!
Immunity from disease comes from
fresh airs pure water, clean surround
ings an active, useful lite and kind
thoughts.
The fear wrought N a school by
one Of the bewh islSered rogues with
his outfit of scalpels, scarifers and
poison is cause of disease in itself.
The plan OF vacclnating the mimi With
the virus Of fear is in itself crime.
and a most common cause Of disease
DR.. J. II. Tjlden says that the fear Of
disease spread abroad by doctors is
the cause Of more deaths than the
White Plague.
People who live rightly are WELL IT
is right living and sanitary surround
ings that have banishcd smallpox.
Just GOOD sanitation has banishcd the

/ believe, with Tilden, that, the So
called Science of Medicine has been
a positive curse to mankind.
AS a cure for our physical pans
we have looked to a poison doctor,
instead of studying the case ourselves
and ascerts ming why We suffered.
We must Lean to rely on ourselves,
and not put our bodies in jeopardy
by turning them over to a hirsute
agent who will give you disease for
fifty cents in the interest of happiness,
