Y a Gin

Because of the presence in severa
sections of the State of an unusually
malignant form Of smallpox, the
Committee on Public Health and In.
struction of the st. Louis Medica,
Society has issued a statement on
vaccination written at its request BY
DR.. Joseph Grindon, chairman of the
Committee on Vaccination of the
Missouri State Medical Association
The st. Louis Medical Society's COM
mittee is composed of DIR. A. H.
Hamel, president of the State asso-
citation; DR.. Nathaniel Allison, dean
of the Washington University School
Of Medicine, and DR.. Hanau W. Loeb,
dean of the st. Louis University
School of Medicine. DR.. Grindon's
statement follows:
"The presnce of a virulent type of
smallpox in Kansas City and it's
spread to other parts of the State
again brings up the subject of vac
cination.
Unanimity for Vaccination.
we hear some say that v~accina-
ton is an outworn superstition, that
it is a relic of an unenlightened age,
and that it is not endorsed by mod
ern scientific thought. The facts are
that there is no point of medical doc
trine set on a firmer foundation than
vaccination against smallpox, that
the latest advances in biology, phys
iology and therapeutics only serve
to illustrate and set in a clearer light
the principles upon. which it rests,
and to fortify it by numerous parallel
examples, and that vaccination, in
this twenty-first year of the twen-
tieth century, enjoys the whole
hearted and enthusiastic support of
the best minds and most learned and
progressive men in the medical pro-
fession the world over. And from the
greatest and best, down to the incon-
spicuous everyday practitioner, the
voice of the profession everywhere is
emphatically and unhesitatingly in
favor Of vaccination. How shall we
account for this unanimity? These
men are at least of average intellr-
gence; they belong to a calling which
more than any other is ready to dis
card old teachings in favor of newer
and better ones, for is it not a favor
lite gibe that they are ever inventng
new diseases and experimenting with
novel cures? The opportunities for
first-hand observation of the point at
issue are certainly greater than those
of any other body of men; and fair
men will admit that as a rule they
are devoted to the best interests of
their patients You will find diver
gence of opinion on certain impor-
tant points, but in regard to vaccina-
ton they stand almost as one man.
The dissidents are SO far apart that
one rarely hears of them save when
someone bearing a hitherto unknown
name obtains newspaper notice as a
noted scientist and graduate of
many medical colleges who Is an
