TO OPPOSE VACCINATION.
Another effort will be made at the
next legislature, as there has
at nearly ever session, to defeat the
compulsory vaccination law. John
Pitcairn, the wealthy retired railroad |
men who died recently at Philadel-
phia, bequeathed $10,000 to the anti-'
smallpox vaccination society. The '
State Health Department has had to!
fight to keep on the books the law |
which was helped to keep down small- |
pox. There are always so many mem-
bers of the legislature who are too
young to have recollections of the old
smallpox epidemics, which prevailed |
before vaccination mastered the dis-
ease and among those men principally
the anti-vacinationists have gathered
votes for the repeal of the bill.

THE MICROSCOPE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
by Samuel G. Dixon.
No single invention has mad: pos-
sible greater saving of human life
than the microscope. Its origin dates
back to antiquity. There is every rea-
'son to believe’ that the ancients had
some knowledge of the use of the sin-
zle lens. The ¢onipound microscope
was probably invented shortly after
the middle ages. The Italians and the
Dutch both claim the discovery. f
These ancient microscopes were
very rude instruments compared with
those of to-day. They were, however,
sufficiently powerful to reveal myri-
ads of living things in the clear, at-
mosphere as well as in a clear tum:
bler of water, but they left us to
imagine a great unseen living world
beyond the power of the new instru.
ment, and that is even so today with
our most improved microscopes.
In the hands of scientists the micro
scope has revealed from time. to
| time a teeming life of bacteria. every
where present. Some of these minute
organisms are the friends and some
the deadly foes of + man. Vegetable| Y.
and animal life Yepends’ uron their
| work. 3
Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, typhus
fever, tetanus and other diseases are
the result of certain of these bacte-
ria which can only be seen by the aid
of the microscope. There is evidence
but as yet no positive proof that they
are responsiblé for many other diseas-
;es, the aetiology of which is yet un;
i known.
An army of scientific workers is to-
‘day occupied in the study of bacte-
I riology for the purpose of discover-
ling the organisms that produce the
different diseases, and then to push
on with the idea of discovering that
which would produce immunity or
cure. Ths work is vital to the wel-
fare of humanity—indeed it is that
which forms the foundatton of pre-
paredness.
There is a constant warfare be-
tween these little single celled organ-
| isms and man. The bacteria have the
advantage of reproducing themselves
in untold numbers and of adaptiog
themselves to different environments
‘and when the conditions surrounding
them suit their existence they
, produce great epidemics of disease
that man is unable to resist. The fight
is an interesting one as man has al
|ready discovered how to combat suc-
cessfully many diseases which for
centuries baffled the skill of science.
