VACCINATION

One hesitates to urge vaccination 1 upon those who do not believe in it.
 But it is perfectly proper to state a few undisputed facts Vaccination has done much to lessen the danger of the smallpox. Localities where vaccination
 is general are more free from the
 disease than are those where the poo-
 pie refuse 10 adopt this method of
 prevention. Whole communities, re-
 fusing to take advantage of vaccina-
 tion. have been practically wiped out by the disease. while communities. quite as thoroughly exposed, have es- capped. Vaccination is the best known
 prevention of smallpox and it's value is recognized by the medical fraternity generally.
 There is one request that may be made with propriety. No matter what you yourself think of vaccination, go to the trouble of getting the advice of your family physician on the matter and then obey that advice. If he re- fuses to advise, knowing your pre- judice, press him for an honest opin- ion as to what you should do. He will give you his opinion. Follow it, and then, if that opinion differs from yours do not hold it up against the doctor who has conscientiously tried to have you do the right thing.
 And remember this. A doctor is an expert on this matter. You are an ex- pert in some line. What would you think of some person who, asking | your advice about something which | you had studied and which you knew | all about, should fail to heed your ldyiee? Ton would consider him a opinionated person. Tour physician will have a right to hink that about you if, asking and his advice, you refuse to fol- ow 1t.
 If you do not go to private phy- ieian, at least take the advice given publicly by the physician you. as a axpayer, employ for the city. His ad- ice is that you and yours take the reeaution of being vaccinated now hat smallpox is in the city unless you ave been vaccinated within years.
