SMALLPOX AND VACCINA-
TT0N

This seems to be an opportune
time to have something to say
about smallpox and vaccination,
as we see from the daily press
reports from the Bureau of Epi-
technology that there is no little
smallpox in North Carolina,
when there actually should not
be a case.
Few of the acute infectious
diseases show such complete in
dependence such as race, age,
occupation and sanitary sur
roundings as smallpox. It
thrives only on unvaccinated
people. The mortality bears
from l to 80 per cent. The
cause of smallpox bears no rela-
ton on improved sanitation,
which has lessened the preva-
lence of tuberculosis, bowel
trouble, hook worm and malaria.
General sanitation could not eff
feet smallpox or measles. Small
pox spares neither high nor low,
rich or poor, black or white. It
spares only the vaccinated.
When an epidemic of smallpox
breaks out, those who are vacci-

mated are as safe as the children
of Israel were from death, when
the lentils and posts of their
doors were sprinkled with the
blood of the lamb.
Before the days of VAGINA
ton, smallpox counted among its
victims princes, kings and
queens. We are still ignorant
as to the precise way in which
smallpox is conveyed. A view
generally held, is that it is air.
borne and enters the system
with respiratory tract. We do
know this, that it is a prevent
able disease and most easily pre-
ventable of all infectious dis
eases. The man that through
prejudice or ignorance would al
low his children to go unpro-
tected against this most loath-
some disease is worse than an
infidel. The Good Book says
that "a man who does not pro-
vide for his own household is
worse than an infdel."
Vaccination virus is the spe-
cifc principle in a matter OBJ
tanned from the skin eruption of
animals, being known as COW
pox. There are therefore, two
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1919-11-07

ways of obtaining the virus. One
from the scab of vaccinated hui
man beings and the other from
Young calves and is called bovine
virus. The old way of using
virus from human beings, is
about done away with and we
have thereby eliminated infec-
ton, and transmitting disease to
a great extent. The bovine VI
rus is put UP in glycerine and all
the harmful bacteria are killed
in this manner.
Vaccination is a most simple
operation but should be done in
a most careful manner. Every
thing used in the operation
should be thoroughly sterilized.
The reason and the only reason
Of bad sores after vaccination is
that the place of vaccination has
been infected either by scratch
ing the vaccinated arm with dir
ty finger nails or tying the arm
up with dirty bandages. Then
you have to treat it just as you
would any other infected place.
Immunity of smallpox appears
on the eighth or tenth day after
successful vaccination. The
question is often asked chow
long does vaccination protect
against smallpox" The protec-
ton is somewhat variable. From
what information obtainable, it
should probably be about twelve
years. Who should be vaccinat-
ed? Every unvaccinated person
FROM babies four weeks old to-
people 104 years old. People
should be re-vaccinated when
there is an epidemic of smallpox.
Children cannot attend school
when smallpox is in the family
nor can teachers teach school
who board in families where
they have smallpox.
