Vaccinated 47 Times.
There is a your g man in Williams
port who has discovered a new method
of vaccination and of the four phy
sicians who have attended him not
one will deny the efficacy of the mc'h
od. The young fellow's name is Werts.
and his home is on Mulberry street
The account of how he was vaccinated
without the aid of a physician is curi
ous as well as interesting.
Previous to the closing of the schools
to children not vaccinated Dr. P. C.
Rcilly was called in and vaccinated a
littls sister of Wens' on the arm.
The vaccination "took" in first class
style and the little girl endured all
stages of the effect. At last she reached
the itching one, and after trying finger
nails and rubbing to allay the itching
she hit upon the brilliant idea of using
the hair brush, which proved a very
fair frcratcher. She brushed over the
vaccination once or twice, and was so
delighted with the result that she used
the brush several different times.
Now her brother had purchased a
new shirt. It was a woolen shirt and
those who have ever worn woo en
shirts next to the skin will appreciate
the young man's endeavors to find
someone who would scratch his back.
Finally getting desperate he took off
the shirt and called his little sister to
do the scratch act. Remembering the
delightful results that had accompanied
her use of the hair brush she alleviated
her brother's suffering with that same
article.
He said it felt good and as she ex-
pected to receive some pecuniary re
ward for her services she brushed his
back well.
The next day Ur. Klump was sum
moned to the house for some sickness
and was told that the boy's back was
broken out. He examined it and as it
looked a little like small pox he sum
moned Dr. Reily, and they in turn
sent for Dr. Youngman and Health
Officer Richter. They came near get
ting up a good case of small pox out
of it, but the hair brusli incident
happened to be recounted and gave
away the secret of the trouble. An ex
amination disclosed the tact that the
young man had been vaccinated on
the back in forty seven different and
distinct places, and Job and all his
boils won t be "in it with that man
when those forty seven vaccinations

years old but Ins never having been
vaccinated before will have been more
than made up by this exciting plantation
of vaccinations. The fact that 11 new
sores have appeared since the first
examination proves conclusively the

Almost everywhere in the world, ex
cept in Paris, rats are considered as a
troublesome nuisance to be got rid ot
by any means possible. The Parisians,
on the contrary, convert this nuisance
into a useful member of society and a
source of revenue. In Paris rats are
collected from every possible source
and placed in the great pound, where
the carcasses of all animals dying in
the city are thrown. These remains are
speedily disposed of by the rats, which
leave behind nothing but the cleanly
picked bones. There are no such sea
veneers as rats. About four times a
year these rats are killed and their
skins are utilized in the everywhere
admired form of Parisian gloves to
decorate the hands of loveliness the
world over.
