pital again with the abdomen great
ly distended. The abdomen was OPP
ened again and a complete carcin-
omatus condition of all the intestinal
tract existed; the omentum, perrin
cum, intestines, bladder and every
thing completely adhered in the can
cerous or carcinomatus mass. An
examination of the original tumor
was made and it showed the peculiar
carcinomatous cell. That is only one
of the many cases that have come
under my observation of the bad eff
fects of vaccination. This was traced
directly to the vaccine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Dr, John r.

there was just ground for complaint.

WORKERS had been recalled from France
because Of unfitness, and announced
mat there would be a general tighten

nave resulted In criticisms. He stated
mat George W. Perkins, Mortimer H..

cause for complaint.
1T is the history of every great effort
