By a Medical

Responsible Publication
Medical Talk
The Journal prints bolow an Indict
xnqnt of tho uso of vacotno vrus for
tho roason that tho laws uni medical
authorltloa' aro at prosont on tho fildo
of compulsory vaccination of child
ren against small-pox.
Whon vaccination Is legalized and a
Btato board of hcnlth may tako It Into
their hoado any day to ordor all the
chlldron In Orogon vaccinated, It Is
only tho press can glvo tho other oldo
a hearing.
Honco wo publish following state
ments against vaccination from a
roputahlo Medical Journal edited by
C. S. Carr, M. D Columbus, Ohio.
Jf you aro a physician and dlffci
with him, hnvo it out with him.
Wo aro not prepared to say that
vaccination has not bson a benoflt to
soma, Qr that It Ua. not checked
Bmnllpox.
But wo nro proparsd to say that
thoro Is a dlfforonco of opinion among
aclontlflo mon as to l.i being a bono
fit or an Injury. Undor thoso circum
stances no ono hns a right to bo dog
matic. Thoro aro ninny Intelligent phyal
clai'B who aro not oranks on tin sub
ject of vaccination.
Thoro aro many othor lntolllgont
physicians who slneeroly bollovo in
vaccination as a preventive for small
pox Thoro nro many physicians and
clttzona who aro In doubt on tho sub
ject. No ono will deny that wo nio llv
ing In an ago of Intolllgonco and t ro
proas on this subject nit on all othors,
and that a groat deal of sontlmont
Imb grown up against vncclnatlon of
children.
Any adult has right to vacclnato or
not to vacclnato ns ho soos flt, but
whon wo assifmo by law to sny that
chlldron must bo vncclnatcil and
should happon to be wrong and do
thorn nn Injury, bow mnko good?
Following artlclo Is from Medical
Talk for Novembor.
Jn "Modorn Modlcnl Sclonco," of
August, ocourn (n Intcrostlnc nc
count of an attempt to gather some
facta, concerning vaccination. It
seems that tho abovo medical Journal,
'wishing to obtain something besldos
Micro assertion, tried ta dinw out some
of tho most omlnont authorities in
tlio Stato of Mnssach ibuUb what thoy
know about vooolno virus. Thoy pro
cured tho consent of a mombur of tho
board of health, of Philadelphia,
flomo months ago, to write nn nrllclo
on vnaclnntlon, giving his masons
for bollvlng it to bo n protection
Against smallpox.
Aftor waiting some months for tho
nrtolo, nnd it did not como, Mr. J.
11. Groene, of Doston, mude an offort
to got at the snmo fnots in another
way. He nddrussed soino questions
lo aniluunt medical gontlemen of
Massachusetts, fourteen In number.
Only two of theso onilnent gentle
mon answered tho loiter nt all, an J
ono of thoao mado no nttompt to nns
wor tlio questions asked. Tho only
rcnrUnliiR ono dodged around Mid
contented himself by tnlklng on some
elilo question. The questions wore
fair one, and ought to bo nnswerod.
Tho people hnvo a light to know what
it la dootors inject Into their systems
by force. Thoso omlnont gentlsmon
ought to be obliged to make a rational
answer to the questloi a. They hav
not done so, and fur special reasons
they will not do so until compelled to
by some liliher authorities. Thu
questions were ns follews:
First. What Is the original soure
or sources of the so-called vaccine
lymphs, now used in Massachusetts?
Second Did not Dr. Martin, of
Attleboro, Mnw Inoculate n cow's
uddor with smallpox matter, nnd
by inoculating children with the vlru i
thus cnuso an opldemlc of smallpox
with fatal results? Did not similar ex
periments of Chauvenu, in France,
and othors. havo the soma rosult?
Third. Aro not the ohnraotoristlos
of tho vaccine sore tho same us thoso
or syphilis, and entiroly different
from smallpox pustules? In other
words, Is not cowpox really syphilis
of tho oow.
Fourth. Is it not a fast that the
cood of syphilis, cattear. and some
other dlsoasw, cannot be detected
when present in vaccine virus, by any
means known to sclonco, and
I m
not syphilis been transmitted by arm
to arm vaccination as In tho caso of
Dr. Cory, of England? Inasmuch,
thon, as ono modorn method of pro
ducing vaccine lymph Is to lnoculnto
tho first animal of a series with human
smallpox virus, what ground can exist
for tho claim that it is impossible for
syphlllB to be convoyed In a lymph
thus produced?
According to our view thoso aro
very fair questions, and ought to bo
answered. Tho state has a no right
to compol peoplo to submit to vacci
nation and then refuse to answer such
Important questions.
Tho facts aro, that no ono, excopt
tho manufacturers themselves, has
any specific knowlodgo as to how
vaclno virus Is produced. Each manu
facturer of vaclno virus knows what
he inoculates tho cow with to produce
this virus. Each ono knows for him
self, and ho Is tho only ono that does
know. It Is oxnetly like- the manu
facturer of patont medicines. No
one but tho manufacturer knows the
formula. Ecch ono of thoso who make
vaclno virus has a process which tho
othors do not know of. Tho doctors
who uso this vaclno lymph know
nothing whatever as to how It lo
mado.
All that Is known about It Is, that
tho cow Is poisoned with something or
other, and this poison cnusos sores to
appear on the cow's udder and teats.
From thoso soros Is oxtrnctcd this
stuff known as vacclno virus. This
vncclno virus is punctured Into tho
flesh of tho people. What It Is tho
manufacturers use to poison thoso
cowb with no doctor knows. No ono
knows but the manufacturer blmsolf.
Ono mnnufacturor probably usos on.
poison, and nnothor usoh anothor.
The doctors nssumo that tho poison
used Is smallpox virus. But this Is by
no moanB certain. Somo think It Is
syphilitic virus, Othors bollovo It to
be nn Infectious dlBons of horses,
known ns grease. Vhatovor it la, It
Is a foul anlmnl poison, and produces
n foul, dangorous stuff known as vac
cine virus.
Modlcal Talk Is financially respon
sible for ovory word It uttors. Wo
have no hesitation In offering any
physician In tho United States $50,00
If ho will Inform ronders of Medical
Talk oxactly what It Is any manufact
urer of vncclno virus usos to Inoculnto
tho cows, from which vacclno vlruo Is
nndd
Hero Is a chanco, now, for nny phy
sician to oam $50 easily. Tho phy
sicians protend to know all about this
matter. Wo do not bollovo thoy know
anything about It. Wo aro willing to
pay for the first satisfactory reply on
this subjoct.
Wo hnvo no hopo, howovor, of re
ceiving such n reply. Tho physicians
will treat this challenge oxactly ns
they troatod tho ono abovo referred
to Thoy will simply Ignoro It. This
is tho boBt way to crawl out of a bad
muss,
Sny nothing. Lay low. Wear gum
shoes. Get laws passed to compol the
people to submit, but never como out
In tho opon nnd glvo tho peoplo n
frank nnd honost explanation of what',,ovo of ,mtur0 ln tho fn ot tho yoar
tho stuff Is, known ns vncclno virus,
or n ratlonnl oxplnnntlnn for tho notion
that this virus injected into the hu
man system, will piotect against
smallpox.
Lay low. Say nothing. Iobby
laws through legislatures. Shoot op
ponents In tho bnclr. Thoso nro tho
best tactics for tho advocatos of mh
clnatlon.
Little Storlse of Journalltm.

scribing thorn oxactly ns they were.
Hvery emotion that can be awakened
by sorrow was felt during that trip
The most pathotlc Incldont occuirod
nt the poorhouso of Resox county,
located nt tho hills beyond Whallons
burg. near Lake Champlaln. I should
soj that the trip was made at tho
roquoet of a stato commissioner of
charities who desired that the truth
should bo told.
After Inspecting tho wards for thQ,
aged women and Insane. I walked
noross an open court, deep with mud,
to visit the children's quarters. While
thero a small, red faced, rod headed
lad attracted my attention. I patted
him on the shoulder and nsked his
nnnii. IJe gave It roadily, told me
he was 10 years old, and that his
father and mother w-re dead. I foil
deeply touched by the child's words.
Soon after I left tho miserable shed in
which those children were herded to
nether nnd started to reerosfl the yard.
I felt a tug nt my coat and found my
little friend behind mo. Ills eyes
looked up Into mine m pitifully -hat
I asked: .
"What can 1 do fgr you my boy?"
"I want you to kiss me"
"Certainly: but why?"
"I never was ktssod'ln my life"

j"H Why
The Animal Schools Failed
I wonder bow many llttlo boys and
girls know why there nro no schools
In anlmnl lnnd?
Well, wherever thero are schools
thero are school commissioners or n
school board, which hns charge of the
Bchools aud makes the laws to govern
them.
When the nnlmnls decided to estab
lish schools thoy selected a school
board, consisting of Mr. Elophnnt, Mr.
Kangaroo and Mr. Monkey, nnd these
fellows held a meeting to agree upon
their plans.
"What shall tho animal children be
taught In the animal school? That Is
tbe question," declared Mr. Monkey.

"Yes. that Is thi' iiuiV.loti." i"ci Inluied
Mr. Kaugnroo and Mr. Elephant to
gether.
"They should be taught to climb
trees," said the monkoy positively
"All my relatlvos will serve aa teach
era."
"No. Indeed" shouted the othor two
iu chorus. "That would never do."
"Thoy should bo tnught to Jump!"
cried the kaugnroo with emphasis, "All

them."
"No. Indeed!" yelled the othor two hi

"They should be taught to look

thoy looked at each other ln perplex

"Toach them
to Jump," said Mr.

would yield, and when tboy saw there
was no chance to agree they all be
