Water Works bave been notified that
the application of the Water Company
for permission to carry the case to
the Court of Appeals had been grant-
Supreme Court. The Appeliate divis-
lon unanimously decided that it was
not necessary for the village to first
obtain the permission of the State
Water Supply commission, before they
could proceed to condemn the water
plant,
of Justice Sewell. The water com-
pany asked for a stay until it was de-
¢ided whether the matter could be ar-
gued before the court of appeals,
which is the court of last resort in
the State of New York.
The motion for leave to go to the
Court of Appeals has been granted and
the question certified as follows:
‘Was It necessary for the plaintiff,
before beginning the action, to take
the proceedings and comply with chap-
ter 723 of the Laws of the State of
New York for the year 1905, and to

It has been stated that it is a rare
thing for the Appeliate Division to al-
low a case to be appealed; at least
that 1s the opinion that many In Wav-

must possess some special merit be-

Vaccination may or may not pro-
tect against smallpox, but this much
is certain, that the proof adduced in
favok of vaccination is all based on
statisties, and these statistics are
gathéred by the friends of vaccination.
Three or four years ago we had in
this cily #n alli gel epidemic of small-
pox. | Wad an eye wilness (0 the
manner io which these statistics were
gathered, Over one hundred cases of
smallpox were repurted at thal time

and found that
every one of them had been vaccinat-
ed, many of them repeatedly. This is
the sort of statistics upon which the
proof of vaccination rests today. Not
a single rationfl {ded can be present-
el to favor it, and an ever-increasing
multitude of physicians are either
openly or secretly opposed to it
As to Dr. Cummings article, ft
wanld be very interesting to discuss
the various ilenis, but space does not
perniit that He has simply stated
over again what every other doctor
is obliged to say who writes on this
subject. ’
In his challenge he makes as his
first statement, "Bovine virus does
aot contain the poison of syphilis, and
cannot transmit syphilis to the human
being.” 1 will say this statement is
an example of his careless method of
statement. No oue ever said that bo-
vine virps contains syphilis.
What “they have sald is this, that in
gathering bovine virus the contagion
of syphilis may be gathered along
with it, and inoculat®d at the same
that bovine virus is inocalated. That
Is what hg been sald, and has been
prove over and over again. The most
eminent authorities in favor of vacel-
nation have been obliged to admis that
syphilis has been so transmitted dur-
ing the period when the virus was
obtained from arm to arm. 7
Even now, lo thelr method of ob-
taining the “virus direct from the
heifer horrible results frequéatly fol-
low vaccination. There 18 A man
or woman In this whole country (ex-
cepting doctors) who does not know
of one or more cases of sickness or
deformity following vaccination.
Thousands of Arms have been lost
Thousands of constitytional wrecks
have been, made. Thousands of lives
lost outright.
Perhaps Dr. Cummings is acqualint-
ed with the elder Dr. Wey, of Elmira,
N. Y. During the time | was practic-
ing medicine In Elmira, Dr. Wey re-
ported two deaths in his own practice,
foliowing vaccination. It made quite
a stir at the time. But Dr. Wey was
honest enough and independent
enough to admit the facts, and was
at that time quoted as having sald
that If other doctors would do like-
wise the fatality from vaccination
would be found to be alarmingly
great.
I would like to quote and discuss
each one of the ten statements. Dr.
Cummings’ proposition as a whole is
absurd, and of course there will be
no one to accept it. The various com-
missions that have been appointed in
England to Investigate into the scien-
tific proofs of vaccination have ex-
tended their Investigation for mouths

by fhe wg, chosen In the vicinity of
Sayre, lo settle a matter that has fall-
ed to reach a settlement by the most
distinguished pathologists in the
world? It is absurd.
It wou'd give me great pleasure,
however, to meet the doctor in open
discussion, on the ten slatements
which he puts forth, and to show that
many of them are quile absurd and
that. the others are ambiguous and
misleading.
My ume is much too. yaloable to
make a trip to Sayre at this time, for
puch a purpose. | am quite well
aware that nothing would be settled
for or against vaccination, although
a greal many minds might 9 dis-
abused of the notion that the doctor
his all of the argument on his side.
But some time next summer [ am
coming down that way on a visit, and
if the doctor can arrange his dates to
this question with him, strictly con-
fined to his ten propositions.
I Will lead® off the debate, or if he
prefers, in a thirty minute discussion
ol« each proposition. je cau then
have thirty minutes to aflirmi his
propositions, or support them by
argument. 1 will reply tn thirty min.
ules to his arguments, he to have re-
ply, | to be allowed thirty minutes to
sum up. | will accept this way or
reverses It, giving him the last chance.
The dis€ussion 10 take place in Sayre,
the doctor to furnish the place for
the discubsion, and advertise it In
his own way. -
The doctor may refuse to meet me
in such a disfussion on the quibble
of medical ethics. While I am a regu-
larly graduated physician, and have
practifed in Pennsylvania, New York
and Olio, yet my attitnde towagds the
American Medical Association on the
subject of medica ethics vaccina-
Is such ag to place me under the ban
of ‘the members of that Assoclation.
1 am at this time president of the
American Medical Unfon, which Is an
Association of physiclans frankly and
squirely gpposed ta the political tae-
tick of the American Mediéal associa-
tion, and for that reason I am regard-
by many physiclans as unethical.
But my professional standing where-
ever I baye practiced, bas been un-
questioned. I have not been in gen-
erul practice for many years, although
I am a regularly registered physician

tors of variods schools, who, Wowever,
they may differ with me-on the sub-
jects of vaécination, inoculation and
other medical arfocities, are quite
willing to recognize me agu colleague
and professional equal. v
I say these things in advance to
forestall any effort on the part of Dr.
Cummings to raise some quibble of
medical ethics to avold an open dis-
cugsion of the statements which he
has used in this broadcast challenge.
