Smallpox and Vaccination

AS we have frequently stated
in the past, the columnsj of the
Review are always at the COM
mand of any and every one who
may desire to express their
views upon topics of general in
terest to the reading and think
ing public, and while we may
not be in harmony with the ar
guments advanced in iall manu-
scripts submitted, we do not
deem such a reason sufficient
cause to refuse its publication.
At the present time this city is
trying to cope with most seri-
GUS evil, and in printing the fol-
lowing communication we can
not add our endorsement to the
Arguments presented therein, ow-
ing to our lack of knowledge on
the subject, nor can we advise
any one to follow the instruc-
tions given by the writer with
out more evidence in proof Of
his contentious. We invite fur
ther discussion on the same sub
ject from the medical fraternity.
Editor of st. Johns Review /:
There are a few cases of small
pox in st. Johns. so the doctors
say. Perhaps it may be only
chicken pox. But whatever il
is, it will prove to be the psy-
Geological moment TO work off
the periodical scare" on the
public. and without doubt in a
few more days a whirwind. panic
breeding campaign will be on.
Possibly the schools will be
closed and all pupils ordered vac
oinated, and every means known
to the medical profession will be
employed 10 scare the life out of
you and reap a rich harvest of
vaccination at 81 per. For gen.
srations the dear people have
been made victims of this foul
superstition vaccination but
the advent of drugless healing
has opened the eyes of millions
so that now those who are in
telligent enough TO think for
themselves have cast aside this
relic of barbarism and have TO be
shown.
The medical fraternity of allo.
pathic doctors, more properly
classed as the drugging, serum
injecting and carving school,
with their obsolete. out of date
methods of dealing with disease.
have taught the people TO believe
that smallpox is a terrible dis
ease-terribly contagious and
can be prevented only by vacci-
nation: that il is caused by n
germ that flies around in the air.
and no one is safe from il unless
vaccinated. This is all rot, and
the most eminent medical minds
now agree that vaccination is a
failure. Smallpox is "A di, ease
Of internal and external filth: is
developed by certain atmospher-
ic conditions. and starts in the
bowels. and is not caused by a
germ. IL is not n germ disease.
and is not contagious. You
could not catch" il from any
one else on a bet. You could
wallow in il and never catch"
IL unless some of the virus got
into your system, or by per-
sonal contact. Quarantine
against il is a farce. for ii il is
caused by germs in the air. can
you quarantine against the air?
The medical fraternity. in their
ignorance, have made a noun
tain out of this mole hill. This
disease is Natures house clean
ing. and is not dangerous nor
half so deadly as vaccination. So
when the scare" is unloaded
on you, which il probably will
be in a few days, do not allow
any doctor or health officer TO
vaecinate you or your family.
IL is not compulsory in Oregon,
and you do not have TO submit,
Furthermore, when this filthy
animal virus is put into your
blood il breeds future diseases,
such as consumption. cancer,
diphtheria. meningitis, lockjaw
and others. When the doctors
find you refuse 10 be vaccinated
the scare" will promptly sub
side. You notice also that the
doctor never catches" small
pox from the patients.

How Vaccine Virus is Made.
Seed" virus is procured i'm
Japan from men who have not |
only had smallpox, but other fiji
thy diseases. A heifer is then
inoeulated in the belly with it
and the disease produced while
called smallpox is in reality COW
syphilis. When the animal is
very sick with the disease, the
hide is laid back and the fester-
ing mass of filthy diseased pus is
seraped off the suffering animal.
