Tribe" Leader Fined
For Borrowing Wife

Father Armand. patriarch of the
Tribe of Israel" Of Fairfax County.
was fined $500 yesterday at the second
session Of the Circuit Court.
Followers of the prophet crowded
the courtroom, protesting it was the
custom of the tribe" for the leader
to borrow the wives of the faithful.
The husband in this particular case,
however, maintained that his consent
to the transaction had not been OBJ
tanned. as the customs of the tribe
also demanded. and had the father
arrested.
Armand claimed that the action of
the irate husband was in revenge for
the couples expulsion from the tribe.

Great Danger Of Vaccination Dur
ing Epidemies.

1t is of course very dificult to
prove or determine the real cause
or origin of any epidemic disease
and as a matter of fact, with few
exceptions. these diseases are a
great mystery to the medical pro-
fession and very little is as yet
known about them. 1t is known,
however, that ordinary vaccination
is very dangerous during epidemics
and should be stopped while the
epidemic exists, because, what is
called double or mixed infections
are very dangerous and very likely
, to be fatal in final effect. See Os-
Ier's Modern Medicine. Vol. /. pages
80 and SO. For example, IL the in
fection of pneumonia should enter
the system at the same time when
ii was struggling with the vaccine
infection it would be almost sure
to kill. particularly the severe type
of septic poisoning now prevailing.
Hence the medical and hygienic wis
dom of suspending all septic in
fecting operations. like vaccination,
while any epidemic condition exists;
and also the wisdom of now max
ing all vaccination voluntary, in
stead of compulsory. as advised by
the high medical authority quoted
and by the present example of the
English army.

Vaccine Factories a Possible and
Proved Source of Epidemic, and
Should Be Investigated BY Con-
gress and the Government.

This foot and mouth disease Is a
horrible eruptive fever. a kind OF
''cowpox." or something like a mon
greI smallpox and diphtheria COM
bined, or also like a very bad chick
enpox. with successive crops of
blisters or blotches, something like
cold sores. large and small. break
ing out all over the body. but chief
ly on the hoofs or hands and feet
lips and nostrils, also inside the
mouth and throat Sometimes these
blotches become continent and pus-
tular and continue for months but.
usually, the eruption ends in a few
weeks in recovery or death. In the
worst cases. with internal erup-
tions and pus infection, affecting
vital nerve centers, the end comes
in few days by the victim choking
to death from paralysis Of the heart
and breathing organs like what hap
pens in infant paralysis. rabies and
lock jaw.
Now here we see that at least two.
and probably three. great epidemics
of fatal disease have originated
from vaccine factories and this
raises the serious question as 10

or from some of their products ex-

it's relation to epidemics and pub
lie health should be thoroughly in

Government at an early date. To
show you what a gigantic and dan
gerous medical interest this vaccine
manufacture has now become. IL
may be sufficient to state that there
are now about $50 concerns licensed
by the U. S. Government TO manu-
fscture vaccines and serums for
animal or veterinary use, and about
fifty concerns licensed to make vac
cines and serums for human use
with a capital OF about fifty mill
lions! This is one of the great medi-
cal interests supporting compulsory
vaccination which is a grave medi-
cal malpractice, which should be
abolished wherever il exists and re-
placed by wholly voluntary vaccina-
tion as already shown.

Possible Relation of Vaceinat;or

Influenza Vaccination and Small
po1 on the U. S. Bat1eship Ohio.

To show that the relation above
and vaccination, is no mere fancy,
let me cite the instance of the in
fuenza and smallpox epidemics in
the vaccinated crew of the U. S.
Battleship Ohio in December, 1913,
as taken from the u S. Naval Medi-
cal Bulletin of October, 1914. Here
1 think you will find a most inter
esting confirmation of this point, as
follows:
"Coincident with the outbreak Of
smallpox on the Ohio, an epidemic OF
influenza was present and had been
for several days. The initial symp-
toms of both diseases are so similar
that until the eruption appears in
smallpox it is impossible always to
difrerertiate between the two; and,
inoeed. 1t is possible that some of
the cases classed as influenza may
have been smallpox without erup-
ton"
In this epidemic Of influenza and
smallpox in the generally vaccinated
crew of the battleship there were
twenty-nine cases of smallpox and FIVE
deaths. which is rather high NOR
tality of nearly twenty per cent and
shows that general vaccination. TO
saw the least, is not such very in
fanible preventive Of smallpox as
yaccinators claim it to be, and this is
another very good reason why COM
pulsory vaccination should not be

Dear Sir: As lifelong student Of
the nature and effects Of vaccination
and its relation to public health. and
as an American citizen interested in
the best welfare of our soldiers and
citizens. please permit me to suggest
that your department might now very
properly direct that all army vac
cination should be suspended during
the present epidemic of influenza and
pneumonia which is now prevailing
in different parts of the country and
causing many deaths.

Grave Nature Of Present Epidemic
of Influenza and Pneumonia.

From the rapidity, severity and
mortality of the disease it would
seem not to be a true influenza, as
heretofore known. and as it's worst
cases are characterized by a rapid
and fatal ending, sometimes with a
few days sickness, in malignant or
septic pneumonia, with assesses in
the lungs, it seems more related to
the very fatal Pneumonia plague"
which ragged in Manchuria after the
japanese war. This suspicion is
strengthened by the fact. just re-
ported in the newspapers. that the
chief germ found in the fatal cases
is the "streptococcus" which is
found in the worst forms of blood
poisoning" or "septicemia" and also
in vaccination. Now the act Of or
binary vaccination is, in itself, an
act of blood poisoning, pure and
simple, and 1t is so classed in med
ical and statistical works as a form
of "septicemia-" and one disease
germ commonly found, with many
others, in vaccine virus is the strep-
tococcus, which is the chief germ
found in all bad pus infections and
abscess formations. See Manual of
Causes of Death, U. S. Census Bu-
reau, 1913, page Sc. No. 90 There
fore, as the act of vaccination is
simply the impregnation of the body
and blood with a pus infection iden-
tical with "septicemia" or .'pyemia," !"
and as this injecting process is re-
peated at wholesale in the bodies of
thousands and tens of thousands of
men closely massed in camps, should
it be any wonder if an epidemic of
some sort of "septicemia" should
crop out at some time under such
conditions?
The Washington herald., 1918-11-20
Epidemics Actually Caused by Vac
cina6on.

That the hypothetical condition
suggested in a preceding paragraph.
viz. that the wholesale and world
wide vaccine infection going on for
the past few years has possibly now
escaped from its usual bounds and is
now overfowing and running wild
and thus causing epidemics in man
kind. or animals; that this, 1 say,
may be no mere hypothesis or the
ory, but rather hard fact, is proved
by the frightful epidemics Of foot
and mouth disease" in the United
states in 1902, 1908 and 1914. which
originated from two Of the largest
vaccine factories in this country-one
In Philadelphia and the other in De-
troit-and was widely distributed to
cattle and mankind in several Of our
States. See reports of u. 8. Bureau
of Animal Industry. lso3 ana 1903.
