FO.URTEEN THE DAILY JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1903 SOURCES OF VACCINE VIRUS Was Inquired Into By a Medical Jonrnal And Some Remarkable State ments are Made By a 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.

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.
