YTho Oppolsi th YaucliiMloK Theory ami a Cat Clt.d In Which a Hoard f H.slth Wai DefraUd. XaglLliMedUitl Authority. Questions of nil kinds hnve arisen since the School Hoard's declaration that all children attending the public schools must produce a certificate of vaccination on or before April Kith, next, and it is feared that many children may be shut out of the schools nfter that date. The latest question has been raised by a member of the medical profession. He wants to know what security have tha doctors who vaccinnte children of t)iu poor people that they will bo paid for their services and raises the point that the question of circumstances should not us leit 10 tue proiession. A. child maybe brought to n physician and vaccinntnil . a poor child, but when the bill for the service is rendered the Uorough Council may uiscover mat tne cnuu's lanilly was able to Par and thereunon order rh nW. slcian to look to tbe family. It may then happen that the family, although able, will not pay and cannot l)o compelled to do so. The physician raising the question suggests that all children whose parents are too poor to stand the expenso should be given orders for free vaccination by either the School Hoard. Hoard or lli.nl tl. or Uorough Council, and such orders would not only serve as security td the puygicinus, uui aiso as voucnera lor each case of vaccination chargeable to tho norougn. l'robably the most interesting aruii ment which has been mado on the subject of vaccination is that contained in paper justYecelved by tho Hl:l!Al.l). It is an exnaustlve paper on aiui-vacciuation movement and is as follows: As our School Hoard and somo of tho doctors imugine that the antl-vaccinatlon movement is a local altalr, and the mass of people are in favor of compulsory vac cination, I would suggest that they read 11 Ii on this sublect and tliev will find Unit. nil over the civilized world there is an or ganized movement against vaccination. in Indiana, Ulilo, iow ork. and nearly every state in the Vnlon. there urn nlrnmr miiii-yuccui anon societies, r rre i mint.

Tho inclosed nrticle from the Literary Digest of March 1st shows now it is now viewed in Liurlnnil. "'The work of the London sncletv fnr mu ui'uiiLiuuui uuuiiitiury vaccinaiion is outlined in a pamphlet by William Tebb, F. 11. G.

Vac ciuation was mado couinulsorv In Emr- jnuu aim eisewuere anu tue annnrentlv well founded assumption that .fennel-' discovery is an ansolute protection against smanpox, auu ouo 01 tue most beneliceut discoveries ot science. "The agitation against Its comnulsorv enforcement was wldesnread anil stromr tri m me outset, niucn oi tuis may nave buen due to prejudice, but It was not long before intelligent observers saw reason to Uelleve that painful and loathsome dis eases were communicated to previously healthy children by means of vaccine lymph drawn from tainted children. The medical profession vra, however, unani mous in support of the new practice, the law was enforced vigorously and hun dreds of patients underwent the martyr dom of fine and imprisonment rather than subject their children to theordenl. "At the beginning of IBM) a society was formed 'to expose tho mlsernblo Jeuuora rian delusion.' This task was nn uphill one. Vaccinntiou had tho almost unani mous support of the medical profession, and of the ablest scientific and statistical authorities throughout tho kingdom. Moreover, with the single exception of the Kcho, all the Ijondon papers regarded tho nntl-vacclnators as coutemptihlo cranks. Hut the organization gained In strength and influence, nnd in 185 the men of Leicester turned out in a body and made such a formidable demonstration against the compulsory laws that it was thought prudent to suspend thom. Three years later Dr. Charles Crelghton, an eminent pathologist, was selected by the editors of the 'Kiicyelopedia Hritnnnica' (ninth editor) to undertake nn exhaustive Investigation of the vaccination question. Though starting with a strong bias In favor of the popular medical dogma, the result was to convince lilm that vaccina tion is devoid of scientific foundation, and was, in fact, a popular medical delusion. This was followed by Dr. Crookshnnk's 'History and Pathology of vaccination,' In which vaccination was characterized 'as an idol of tho market place.' "With the accession of medical experts to Its ranks, thosoelety renewed its labors with determined energy, hut popular falla cies die hard, and nnti-vnecinators look forward to some fighting yet before they may hope to see the compulsory vaccina tion law repealed anil the medical pro fession ready to relegate the practice to the Umbo of exploded delusion. Mean time the society lias abundant fight In it, nnd our nuthor reminds his renders of the 'indefeasible right of a parent to protect his defenseless offspring from danger.' "A royal commission of inquiry on vac cination has been In session since April, 188!). It was appointed to 'expose the dis tortions and misrepresentations of the enemies of vaccination.' These enemies, however, see reason to hope that the com mission will recommend the modification if not the abolition of tho lawsof compul sory vocclnatlon."

Mahanoy CITY, March 10. Somo of our prominent citizens are considerably excr cised over the attempt of a publishing house to force them, through legal pro cess, to pay 115 apiece for a hook which they claim they did not order. The publishing housols Hush, West & Company, of Philadelphia, and they hnve summoned the following named people to appear at Justice Hatdorf's ofiice at Pottsvllle next week, under tho debtors' law: John C. Knanp, V. W. Medlar, Dr. J. Arthur Jones, Robert Littlehales, Hev. H.A. Keiser and others of this nnd ad joining boroughs. The gentlemen nnmed are not disposed to submit to what they term a bluff of the publishing house, nnd will give an iaterestiug fight before paying the money demanded. From the stories told by theso gentlemen It appears that a canvasser called upon them last July and asked for a personal sketch of their lives to be published with thoso of mnnv other prominent residents, in a work entitled "A lliographioal and Historical Cyclopaedia of Schuylkill County." All thogentlemrii named, with ono or two exceptions, declined to have anything to do with it at first, suspecting somo scheme to inveigle them into pay ing for something they did not want, but ou assurance from tho suave canvasser that It would cost them nothing nnd that the history of Schuylkill county would really be incomplete without their bio graphy, they nrqiliesced and told him of their Interesting climb into prominence. After securing all the necessary notes the canvasser suddenly became anxious to leave and presented a paper for their signatures which, lie explained, was merely a form to ntsurn the publisher that thesketch was bona fide, saysour in formant. In some cases they unwittingly signed a contract to buy a volume of the biography, as was the case of Mr Knapp, whose sight was too poor to read the print, and who questioned nothing of the polite Htranger whose time was, no doubt, too valuable to 1om in reading over a little printed notice thai lie had explained, any how. Others only remember signmg a blank sheet nnd are very much interested over the method of transferring their names to an agreement to pay for a hi ok. One of them believes that a carbon sheet nnd a blank contract lay beneath iho pnper thy signed, but however obtained, it is quite certain thut the publishing household a strong contract to deliver nnd receive pay for a $15 book. the nulillshin rig house of Hush, West S: Co., Philadelphia, is a reputable one nnd there must be some mistake. The houso has done considerable business in this town recently through tho same agents, with whom the Mnhnnoy City people hnvo differences, but no complaints have been heard from any of our people.

No one could answer the question, but Mr. Slruughti moved that the Council hold a special meeting next, Tuesday night to meet the Hoard ot Health and Uorough Solicitor for the purpose uf dis cussing this ami other questions relative to tue public health and the duties of tho two bodies.
