A Dead Idea

We no longer entertain the idea that
ruinOus cut-throat competition is the
life of trade. A few years ago there pre-
vailed feeling on the part of c0mpeti
tors to destroy each other. 1t was thot
that honest competitive co operation was
simply the theory of some idle dreamers,
and that it could not possibly be worked
out on practical basis. However, the
best results in business nowadays are OBJ
tanned through competitive co-opera-
tion. The spirit Of Live and let live is
what should prevail, and to my mind it
pays, and it pays because it is right. |
know of no higher honor that could be
paid to any man than TO say that e had
the respect of his competitors B.

Smallpox Vaccination

On account of the prevalence of small
pox in Wisconsin at this time, the Health
Instruction Bureau urges the serious
consideration of vaccination upon every
reader of this column. One hundred
years ago smallpox was so prevalent in
England that one in ten deaths was due
to that cause, So common were small
pox scars, that a clear, unmarked skin
was used as means of Identification.
Today, smallpox scars are exceptional.
This favorable situation has been brought
about mainly by vaccination.
The danger of vaccination has been
urged against its employment. The
danger is extremely slight, far less than
the danger of remaining unvaccinated.
The Fact that there has been no serious
epidemic for number of years copsti-
stutes the greatest danger. Many who
have no question of the efficacy and
safety of the this protective agency, have
grown careless.
Jenner, an English country physician
discovered vaccine in 1893. His studies
occupied 80 years. He found tradition
in Worcestershire, that dairy workers
who had acquired cow pox, accidentally,
never contracted smallpox. His investi-
cations disclosed much conflicting evil
dence, due chiefly to wrong diagnoses.
Finally, he knew positively that true
COW pox did protect against smallpox.
He then reasoned, correctly, that il acci
dental cow pox infection, IA very mild
disease in mani gave protection from a
very fatal disease, it was the duty of
physicians to secure that protection for
their patients by deliberate vaccination
Organizations have been formed to
combat vaccination. Whatever danger
attended vaccination in the past (negli-
gible as compared with benefit secured)
is now almost entirely eliminated by the
addition of glycerine in the manufacture
Of vaccine.
In the comparatively few instances in
which smallpox is acquired after sup
posedly successful vaccination, the dis
ease runs very mild course.
