THE rAlLACy OF VACCINATION

Tho advocates Of vaccination have taken littlo pains to convince those who distrusl its utility, but instead have rcsorlcd 10 the employment of other and often rcprchcnsihlc means, Children are excluded from the pub
 lie schools unless they have been vac cinated thereby making t appear that healthy child is q menace and the attempt Is made tn worry and cocrcc the parents and guardians into compliance with the arbitrary condi- lion bp prosecution for truancy In many instances they have sucCumhcd from q feeling ot utter hcple essn ess, precisely as men submit to the has- tlnado inflicted by Oriental dcspotism, In other cases, they followed as in q groove, without considering what was right or wrong, reasonable or falla- cious Advantage has been taken of the prevalent inattcntion 10 the mat fer to fost upon the statutes various health regulations and other require mcnts, often in fragrant violation Of personal rights. and with no adequate Just fication Passengers upon ocean steamers are forced to submit to the operation, persons employed in fac tories. warehouses and the civil scrv- ice arc compelled to submit to be Naccinated on penalty of losing their places. Soldiers in the army and scamen in the navy are also obliged to submit, as a matter of discipline, as a century ago they were inoculat- ed perforce for smallpox
 The claims for vaccination have never been demonstrated to be sane toned by any asccrtained law or principle in the medical art. The chief. indeed tho sole argument, has been the citing of statistics, more or less perverted, and tho inference that because the matter has been made so to appear, it must be presumed to be with good reason. Further argument is met hy stolid silence, and by an ap- parent concert of purpose to exclude carefully all discussion of the matter from medical and public journals and to denouncc all who object When an accused person finds it hard to repel charge. he frequently seeks to di vert attention by viifying another.
 Yet many objections to vaccination have been intelligently made from personal experience and observation and by persons fully entitled to re- spectful consideration. They will not always be dismissed by obstinate si- lence and unworthy innuendoes Those who object are conscious they are right and therefore entitled to be heard

 manded, The contaminating of the hody of a healthy person by the yirns of disease, under any preteSt what over is unphilosophica uniustihable, criminal, The possibilities are that he will not contract contagious dis order so long as the standard of health can be maintained, To infect him with distemper on the plea of protecting him Is prcposterous,
 The lymph of vaccine pustule contains no virtue or quality that will in any way remove the liability 10 contract smallpox. No ono can in tellieently deny that |, is itself tho product of decay Of tissue--thst 1t Is produced hy the decomposition or retrograde metamorphosis of the ts- sue of the body. It is but a little removed from absolute rottcnness. This being tho fact. the inserting Of such material into tho living tissue Of another person is a culpable act, and nothing less than tho contaminating and injecting Of tho body Of that in disidual with filthy loathsomc, poi sonous material. In fact. it will be found by careful observation that whenever a yaccinator or corps or Naccinators set out upon yaccinatine crusade, there follows very generally d number of deaths from erysipelas and other maadies which have been induced by the operation accompan, jed by suffering of the most heart rending character. nF
 With these facts in view it seems almost unnecessary to declare the cur. rent notion that vaccination will pre-. vent smallpox or even mitigate the severity of the attack to bc entirely distitute of foundation. Indeed, every observing person can cnumerate eX- amplcs of vaccinated persons who were afterWard taken with the dis case, The failure of vaccination to insure exemption from smallpox has been made reason or prcteXt for

expeditions Of the operation Never theless, the history of the last nifty years affords sufficient evidence to show that even repeated vaccination has no merit,
 Epidemies Of smallpox are as nu- merous and as severe as they were one or two centuries ago. It Is probably no more possible to avert them than it Is to prevent volcanic cruptions, dronghts, or devastating storms, One epidemic, however. is never precisely similar to another in manifestation or fr'i , The type and character arc principally determined by tho pre- .onl'nding influence in the earth and there is table which shows that there was more smallpox in England in 1880 than in 1850 and still more in 1870 than in 1860, Smallpox had become more prevalent since the spread Of vaccination and yet in each year this disease was far less fatal than measles. scarlatna or consump- ton.
 An examination of the statistics kept in the different cities of the United States will disclose similar facts Tn the season when smallpox IS epidemic. the deaths from measles invariably exceed those from that disease. while the cases Of scarlatina and the deaths from it are far more numerous, sometimes outnumbcring thirty to one. If the facts were i'm partially presented in their true light, and no effort made to create panic over the few cases of smallpox for the sake of jobs in vaccination, the public attention would he directed 10 the diseases that were actually sweep Ing away their victims by the scores and hundreds. rather than to the meagre roll Of smallpox cases. Con- sumption follows in the footsteps Of vaccination as directly as an effect ever follows a cause. The vaccine poi son being the product of decaying ami nal tissue and often tuberculous in

ID HUNT FOR OLD
 MONSTER ANIMALS Expedition to Argentina for
 Museum Specimens

Chicago. Tll, March %. one doesn't usually hunt 50o pound l mammals with turte-ikc shells and 1o-foot tails, except in bad dreams, but party from the Field Museum will hunt for such an animal, and others as strange in Argentina. this fall. Elmer s. Riggs, curator of the department of paleontology, will head the expedition, and he means 10 bring back the megatherium and the glyp- todon dead or alive-proba bly, dead, as they are recorded as having been extinct a long while. The glyptodon is the creature with the charming tail described above; the eeatherum. d variety of ground sloSN is fellow a few sizes larger than the elephant. The sloth known today is a dweller in trees, from which he hangs all day, moving slowly about toward dusk. The mcgatherum. however. had no need to climb trees, for he could stand on the ground and reach lofty branches with his forepaws.
 Few Monsters Left
 These are few Of the huge mon sters Mir. Riggs will seek in the southern wonderland. He won't dis dain. however, to look about for cx- tinct animals as small as mice, and expects to find remains of number of them.
 Mir. Riggs expedition will be one of five which the museum has begun to send to south America. A botan- real party IS already in British Guiana Mir. Riggs will sail in the fall in or der 10 be in the southern hemisphere when it is spring there. The party. which will also include j. B. Abbott Of the museum, and one other cNper- fenced fed worker yet to be selected, will look for fossils where the sea has worn away the rock along the Ar genuine beaches. In some places the rock system of the Argentine coast is exposed for q mile.
 Interesting Animals
 The extinct mammals of south Am erica are particularly interesting. Mir. Riggs says, because they are chiefly marsupials and are more closely re- lated to the fauna of Australia than to that, living or extinct; found in North America or else where.
 The distinctly South American ami mals now extinct included besides the ground sloth and the glyptodon, a camel shaped beast with the snout of a tapir, and q heavy bodied river ami nal which resemblcd the hippopota mus having hoofs. huge teeth and the skull of horse.
