Bome insist that he is an invader and stole the show from others who are doing the research work, and vet others such as Dr. Babin of Cincinnati testified that the type of strain that is baing used in the Balk vaccine is evidently dangerous and can render people who are injected to a paralytic polip This statement should never go unchallenged. If the thousands of our child- ren who have been injected with this so-called dangerous vaccine should be subject to paralytic polio, then it js high time that our government and the AMA definitely stop this vaccine from further use and call for a new injection to be given these child- ren who have received the Balk vaccine to destroy the poison ‘hat could have been placed with- in their blood streams and save them from being cripples before they reach man or womanhood. Burely Dr. Sabin should be called to explain his position and, if what he states is correct, it is i sad day in America and the AMA and the Pure Food & Drug Administration who pisced their stamp of approval on his vac- sine should be brought before the bar of justice pow, not later when we find our children in a crippled and helpless condition. Now, as we have sald before, we are not an on the Salk a his ach. Flaen- done this dreadful this ach described by Dr, Sabin of Cin- cinnati can be a true one, But we only point cut that there is a great erence of op- inion am the medical men as to the wo of the Balk vaecine.

It only makes us wonder as pr who is who in this great life of ours.
