HEALTH REVIEW
I.lantIIs paralysis cPoIiomysIIti.l


Since infantile paralysis has been
made a reportabIe disease in Mon

epidemics Of this disease. The focus
Of infection in each incidence appear

Board Of Health q few years ago Of
tie number Of cases Of crippled chill
ansn in Montana, evidence was OBJ
tanned that there must have been

RAILROADS FEEL THE
COMPETITION

We have the motor busses to
thank for the fact that the So
called flyer" trains on the 500
Line. G. N. and N. p. railroads
between Minneapolis-St. Paul
and Duluth-Superior have been
made still faster. cutting the
schedule down an hour between
the terminals, and making fewer
stops. On the Great Northern
the only stops the two fast after
noon passengers make between
the Twin Cities and the Twin
Ports are Sandstone and Cam
bridge, thus making the trains of
little service TO the local COM
munities scattered along the
route.
But can you blame the rail-
roads?
We generally go after business
where il is to be gotten. The
railroads were not getting the
local business at any rate the
four other trains daily can easi-
ly take care Of it--but the buses
are gradually taking away the
local passenger traffic. In order
TO meet competition the rail-
roads speed up and bid for the
through traffic.
The railroads have paid for
their own road bed and are pay
ing for the upkeep of same,
which represents enormous
sums. The public is building
paved roads for the motor busses.
Is il fair competition? And who
stands to losel The public.
Even though the big busses
pay a tax Of about $500 a year or
a dollar a day, what does that
amount TO compared to the wear
and tear on the road? II is a
minor bill to them. Their driver
getting $5 or So a day. gets s or 6
times as much as the tax
amounts TO.
The railroads are the main ar
teries Of the country. They are
here and have to be paid for and
kept up, Unfair competition
will only lead to higher freight
rates and passenger fares.

ours, not more than one death in
10000 cases. These fatalities are
no doubt due to infection.
The immunity produced by
vaccination is remarkable; this
has been proven over and over
again not only by the experience
of armies and nations but also by
actual individual experiment.
The period of duration of immu-
nifty is variable in the different
individuals and in the same in
dividual at different times. 1t
seems generally conceded that
ordinarily vaccination gives inn
munity for period of about 10
years, yet it is advisable to be-
come revaccinated after two or
three years if an epidemic breaks
out.
During the FIVE year period,
1893-98, in Russia where little
vaccination was done, 275,000
died from smallpox; in Spain un-
der similar conditions $4,000
died, while in Germany where
vaccination is compulsory only
2S7 deaths occurred from this
disease. In Germany deaths
from smallpox is one-twentieth
as great in proportion to the
population as in the U. S. In an
epidemic in Philadelphia, 1904.
not one person who took the dis
ease had been vaccinated within
five years. In one county in
England where vaccination was
not practiced but quarantine and
sanitary regulations were strict
ly enforced the epidemic con-
tinued and was not stamped out
until vaccination was used. In
Porto Rico, 1916, during an cpl
demc, not one case. occurred
among 1900 vaccinated school
children of San Juan while more
than 500 cases occurred among
the unvaccinated adults in and
around San Juan.

MINNESOTA

God made Minnesota the
Garden Of Eden of America and
placed il in the wonderland of
the North. He gave it fertile soil
that man might subsist with
ease; then blessed it with ten
thousand lakes and surrounded
these with trees. He called it
the home Of the laughing waters
and proclaimed the Mississippi
the father of its sparkling
streams,
He sweetened its balmy air
with the music of song birds and
honey bees. and pronounced it
the playground eternal of peace
and prosperity.
He gave il the beauties of wild
wood and graced it with the in
nocence of wild life. He taught
the sunshine to romp with
shadow through its forests and
the fragrance of its flowers and
fields of clover to mingle with
the perfume of its pines.
He filed its lakes with fish. its
forests with game, its plains with
fowl, and unto these He gave the
romance of the Red man.

tables. corn and fields of waving

derneath He planted a store Of
untold mineral wealth.
He took the scenic beauties of
a Switzerland and a Colorado and
combined them with the fertile
soil of an Iowa and the fascinat-
ing climate of a California. To
these He added all things else
which contribute to the health,
happiness and comfort of life.

called it Minnesota"
The above appreciation Of our home

tages we have right at our door but

CONDEMNS VACCINATION

In order to be clear, let us de-
fine vaccination. In fairness to
the pro-vaccinists we can take
the definition of a pro-vaccinist,
DIR. Milton j. Rosenau, one of the
best authorities on the subject in
this country. DR.. Rosenau says,
Vaccination is the production of
an acute infectious disease" He
also says, Vaccine virus always
contains bacteria. There is no
such thing as asceptic (clean)
vaccine virus"
How many parents realize
what vaccination really is? If a
discussion of this filthy, disease
producing unscientific practice
can bring to light The truth on
the subject and arm parents in
defense of their loved ones it
will serve a good purpose.
Vaccination is the production
of an acute. infectious disease.
How is this accomplished?
BY taking pus from a sore
on the body of a sick and dying
calf or COW and placing it in con-
tact with abrasions made by a
benevolent M. ID. on the healthy
body of a person to make that
person healthier. The pus or
vaccine virus used to vaccinate
the victim is a mixture of many
varieties of disease-producing
bacteria. and when the vaccina-
tion takes" the victim is not
made healthy; he is sick, his
physical resistance to all disease
is lowered; his defenses are
down and he may pay a high
price in the months that follow
in the form of tonsilitis, appen-
dicitis, anemia, tuberculosis and
other diseases.
The statistics of smallpox vac
cination all over the world show
that there are more deaths from
vaccination than from smallpox.
Those members of the medical
profession who have thoroughly
Investigated vaccination have
condemned the practice.
Prof. Alfred Russsel Wallace
declares Vaccination is a de-
lusion, its penal enforcement a
crime" DR.. ]. G. Wilkinson says,
This amazing act is the homi-
cidal insanity of a whole profess
sion. II is blood assassination"

ease as smallpox, and, being a

Some men, amongst them lead
ers also, are Of the opinion that
woman suffrage is a failure,
maintaining that the average

band or has little conception OF
political problems.
Carrie Chapman Gait, the
greatest of contemporary suf-
frage leaders has come back
with an argument which, we be-
lieve answers well the conclu-
sions of those opposed to woman
suffrage.
1T has taken man millions OF
years. she says. ito climb from

for the reptile to drop its tail

The bird of self-government has
dropped its tail and sprouted its
wings. but they are only big

FAvORS VACCINATION

The following remarks are
here set forth as comment on the
above clipping from a Duluth
daily.
Of course, there is always OPP
position to all worthwhile
things, and not least to those of
established recognition; so also
to vaccination and why not from
medical circles? The quotation
from DIR. Rosenau does not ne
cessarily mean that he opposes
vaccination. Then as to the
value of the statements attri-
buted to Prof. Wallace and DR..
Wilkinson, of what standing are
t these gentlemen in medical
science? Are they in the fore
rank; are they men with an ak
to grind; or do they hold fake"
licenses such as only too many
exist? One physician in large
city opposes vaccination now,
his little child died after vacci-
nation. There are anti-vaccina-
tionists who will not be con-
vinced and who are willing to
spread propaganda. Possibly
statistics on deaths due purely
to vaccination may not have
been published. Possibly this is
4 cause for many deaths. Who
dares to venture what the NOR
tality would be without vaccina-
ton? The record of countries
where vaccination has not been
used seems a fair index. Then
which is preferable: either vacci-
nation with an occasional death
resulting directly from the ope-
ration or from complications,
or no vaccination and have the
past epidemics with their high
mortality repeated?
incubation for smallpox by use
Of human virus upon persons in
good health causing a mild at
tack of the disease has been
known since about 100. This
seemed an effective pre-
ventive and was widely accepted
and approved in England and
United States.
In 1895 DIR. Jinner of England,
inoculated a boy from the hand
of milkmaid affected with cow
pox with excellent results. This
is the method now used. The
virus is taken from the animal
and sealed in specially provided
tubes; the virus or vaccine con-
sists of weak living cowpox
germs taken from young heifer.
This vaccine when injected into
the human body causes slight
and usually unimportant illness
(vaccinia). In some cases the
illness becomes more serious but

nation very rarely, if ever, oc-
