Opposes Vaccination.
b.. EdItor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Warrington Herald:
1t is indeed a blessed privilege
which you are giving the public
and 1 think 1t would be we'll for
other newspaper to follow your ex-
ample.
Mr.. William c. Ewing evidently
has not lived long enough or ac-
quired sufficient knowledge to be
aware of the fact that theories are
not facts, and that there are hum
dreds of successful, prominent medi-
cal doctors who have tested out the
vaccination theory and long since
abandoned its use Except when
compelled by law) because the only
facts Connected with il are that 1t IL
harmful to the human body, and
that the only ones deriving any
benefit therefrom are thd doctors
and the vaccine manufacturers.
Where 1t does not cause death in
a few days or weeks as IT has done
in scores of cases on record, It leaves
a train of other diseases. such as
jaundice, lock jaw, meningitis, dnfan-
tile paralysis. cancer, erysipelas, tu-
berculosis, tumors, syphilis, skin
eruptions and even smallpox. which
1t is supposed to prevent.
Inc IdCt ludl inc law NdS-
cination does not make It right or
Just, and 1t is absolutely untrue that
smallpox only occurs where the
law has not been obeyed.'. All Mr..
Ewing has to do Is to get the ac-
Icurate (not tuggledD reports on vac
cination and he will learn that 1t
is himself and not Mr.. Bonnell who
lis going through life in mental
haze. Let him read carefully the
history of vaccination in the Ency-
clopedia Britannica, ninth edition.
and IL his mind is not entirely be-
fogged by theories he will learn a
few useful facts.
The law" required taxation
without representation" but our
forefathers refused to submit to 1t
and defied the law, giving US as
they thought a free country. But
have we? The Constitution gives US
the right to protect our bodies and
lives against harm and yet our law
makers, influenced by misrepresen-
tations, pass laws giving medical
doctors authority to poison and kill
human beings with vaccines and Sc
runs and forbidding the human be-
ings to protect themselves by re-
fusing to submit to the outrage.
The people are waking up to the
fact that the practice OF medicine
lis practice only and not science.
The definition of science is CLASH
fled knowledge" That does not
mean classified theories and guess
work.
Alfred Walton. NJ. D.. Philadelphia.
says "the medical doctors mental
attitude of superiority is based upon
ignorance, arrogance and preten-
sions"
Prof. E. H. Davis New York Medi-
cal College, says advanced medical
knowledge is a term employed to
cover ignorance"
acknowledgements made by medical
doctors will be found in 1.-The Public
Estimate Of the Physicians" COM
piled by F. P. Myers.
After having followed the profess
sion for twenty-five years q medical
doctor acknowledged to a friend Of
mine that 1t was half bluff and half
guess" Yet we are expected to swal-
low everything they choose to hand
us-"hook, line and sinker."
In the same issue of your open
court ]. B. Expert" who lacks the
backbone to sign his name, is
strong on what he thinks he knows
about bacteriology. but is certainly
very weak on facts when he claims
that vaccination is of incalculable
benefit to the human race and is no
longer a question of opinion, and
opposition to the practice is ex-
plicable only on the basis Of ignor-
ance." He makes three statements
in that one sentence which are alb
solutely without foundation. The
people who are opposing the prac-
tice are those whose loved ones
have been killed, crippled and dis
eased from the effects of 1t. and
those both in the medical profess
sion and out of 1t who have really
made a study of the facts and sta
tistics Of the incalculable harm it
has done and is still doing the hui
man race.
Wise Mr.. Ewing and Mr.. Expert"
evidently do not know that England
has awakened to this fact and has
abolished compulsory vaccination.
and that Germany and Japan, two
of the most thoroughly vaccinated
countries in the world have ter
rible epidemics of smallpox. In
March. 1917. Herr Hoffman in the
Reichstag stated that there were
$4,000 cases in Northern Germany.
that the epidemic was spreading
and the vaccination employed to
check 1t was of no avail. Later re-
ports showed that the epidemic
lasted seven months.
Please page Mr.. Ewing to explain
why the law" did not work.
