ANTI-VACCINATION.
My last article was devoted to show-
ing that in pre-vaccination times no
care whatever was taken to prevent
infection and that the mode of treat-
ment of small-pox patients was well
fashioned to kill instead of cure. In
the closing paragraph is a quotation
from the unanimous conclusion of the
Royal Commission, giving their views
of the most successful method of im-
iting the spread of small-pox and that
their conclusion was the irresistible
result of the exhaustive evidence tak-
en. None of the provisions recom-
mended by them were in operation
previous to vaccination times , al-
though late in the 18th century they
were being advocated slightly. Here
we have the best possible official
proof of one of the causes of the dim-
inution of small-pox in the present
day This commission was appointed
in the interest of the dominant opin-
ion, ns all such commissions are, yet
they do not say that. the best way to
stamp out small-pox is by vaccination
the healthy, and by disinfection.
all they can say, of any consequence,
of vaccination Is “We think: 1-—
That it diminishes the liability to be
attacked by the disease. 2-—-That |t
modifies the character of the disease
and renders it less fatal and of a
milder and less severe type” Bat
they only say "We think" They do
not say that this is an irresistible
conclusion from the evidence taken;
only “we think"
It may not be aniversally under-
that systematic sanitation, as
the term is understood today, is of
nulte recent practice. It has been
advocated for many years, but only to
a slight degree practiced. Wherever
‘it has been tried its resalis have been
marvelons, For very apparent reasons
it has not acomplished what is de-
sired and expected in certain direc-
tions but its universal benefit will,
probably, scon be seen. In small-pox,
however, thece has been no impedi-
ment to its immediate effect. We are
now living under its benign Influence
During the last thirty" years, which
mainly covers the period of its
growth, small-pox has had its most
conspicuous declliue, since yaccination
was introduced. Previous to this per-
iod, it may fairly be sald to have been
on the Increase, especially after com-
pulsory vaccination became general
throughout England and Europe. The
remission noticed during the early
part of the 19th century Is acknowl-
edged to be due to the abandonment
of inoculation, vaccination not being
sufficiently general at that time to
have had any general effect
The facts already adverted to are
sufficient in themselves to prove to
any reasonable person that the de-
cline of smual-pox at the present time
should not be forgotten that the
black death, the sweating sickness
and the bubonic plague died out
without the use of any kind of pro-
phylactic except quarantine regula-
tions. The plague, which is admitted
to have been more Infectious and
fatal than small-pox, died out almost
mysteriously. It was the scourge of
Europe and England for more than a
thousand years. What a terrible ca-
lamity It would have been to the
world if some fanatical experimenter
had succeeded In engrafting upon
the minds of the people the delusion
that something in the nature of the
plague injected into their systems
would protect them from that dis-
ease!
The plague terminated itself, but
“protection” might have been con-
tinued forever
It is most absurd to contend that
vaccination can accomplish now what
it failed to do the latter part of the
Inst century after thorough trial; and
that we may expect any benefit from
any form of compulsion, since it is
shown that where it has been tried
in its most thorough form for many
vears it has not accomplished as
much as has been done without it in
other countries. The mere coln-
dence of a decline of small-pox under
vaccination can not account in the
presence of its glaring fallures
1 have taken up much space with
this phase of the subject but the vac-
cinationists are continually crying:
‘See what vaccination has done!
Do you want to return to the terri-
ble anti-vaccination period?’ | wish
to impress the fact upon the under-
standing of everyone that this cry is
a false one. That the cause of the
decline in the number and fatality of
small-pox cases can much more reas-
onably be predicated upon on the
elrcumstances | have just narrated
than upon the myztery of the vaecina-
tion rite. Of course these abundant
facts have no established delusion or
superstition to support them. Neither
have they the Ipse dixit of a great
profession to support them. But they
have In their favor God-given reason
and many of the most prominent men
of learning that have lived during the
last century, including a host of the
greatest medical authors. The con-

nered he falls back on his presumed
dignity and says that he cannot dis-
cuss the question with a layman, and
he seems to think that abuse is a
sufficient answer {o his professional
brethren's argument. The defenders
of the superstition want to limit the
discusion to certain facts, which, they
decide for themselves in advance, are
sufficient to cover the subject. If they
can limit discussion to sult themselves
they might win. But what a spec-
tacle! A member of a great profes-
sion who prides himself on being
able to defend a dogma, not willing to
submit to the ordinary rules of evi-
dence! “A lawyer comes before the
court and says: “I will prove certain
things and when [I do you must de-
cide this case in my favor.”An old
judge would probably answer: “That
will depend upon what the jury
thinks about it. Probably you would
better not rely on these facts alone
You might lose your case.”

supports of the delusion, but 1 am
