HEALTH HINTS

Before vaccination was discovered
smallpox used to attack more than
three.quarters OF all mankind. One
in every six attacked died.
Near the end OF the eighteenth cen,
fury Edward Jenner discovered the
germ OF smallpox and made it known
to the world.
The result is that smallpox is a rare
disease nowadays and there are many
physicians who have never seen case
Vaccination should be performed
only by a competent physician. Many
people think that 1t is SO slight an oper,
alton that anyone can do it, but this
is MISTAKE.
The best time to vaccinate child
Is before its second summer. II the
infant has been exposed there is no
danger in vaccinating it at any time,
even during the first day of its life.
Vaccination should be repeated when
the child is ~ and afterward whenever
smallpox exists in the community. All
school children must be vaccinated.
The advantages of vaccination are
many. 1t viii prevent smallpox. 1t
will prevent your quarantine If you
have been exposed to smallpox.
If you ever are exposed to smallpox

ton will generally take effect before
you have smallpox and will prevent it.
A days delay may make 1t too late. 1t
Is better 20 be vaccinated before you
are exposed than afterward.
II it were not for vaccination we
might see thousands OF SCARED faces
on the street and the cemeteries would
overflow with victims of smallpox.
