VACCINATION MAKES DISEASE
London Authority Tells Doctors Virus
Produces Scarlet Fever and
Measles.

Philadelphia.-Dr. Charles Creigh
ton of London, formerly professor OF
medicine in Edinburgh, startled the
Pennsylvania Vaccination board. in
session here, with the opinion that
vaccination was to blame for the
spread of many epidemics.
"You will find" said DIR. Creighton,
that measles and scarlet fever have
spread to a great extent since small
pox has been on the wane. l do not
believe that vaccination is necessary
unless an epidemic of smallpox is
prevalent. To vaccinate every child
before he goes to school is crime.
and should be stopped.
1.-THE virus that Is used is certainly
open to question. Children never be-
fore had the measles or the scarlet
fever as they do today, and why? Sim
ply because the contamination of their
blood with the serum of the calf has
rendered them susceptible to these
diseases which they used to be able
to throw of. Now they are weakened
by incubation with vaccine virus"
Many medical men who heard him
were astounded, and they questioned
the eminent British authority The
commission has asked DR.. Creighton
to submit some Of his proofs, and he
will be requested to appear before
the board at another hearing next
week.
