clair, N. J., if the local Health Board insisted that the “Blood-poisoning" should be continued in a town that had known no case of smallpox for a long time nor was likely to. The editor of a well-known comic weekly spoke with bitterness of the evil effects that his child suffered from for seven years, as a result of vaccination. One of our correspondents has this to say upon the matter: There was a time when people believed that the only way to protect themselves from contracting the dread disease of smallpox was to be vaccinated. From the time of its introduction into England from Constantinople in the early part of the eighteenth century, the practice of vaccination steadily gained in popularity until about 20 years ago, when people suddenly began to question its efficiency and to wonder if along with the vaccine virus which was introduced into the blood, there were not also introduced the germs of other diseases, some of them far more deadly in their effects than smallpox. Physicians began to investigate the subject with the result that many of them prominent in their profession have gone on record as declaring that the fearful increase in cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases in late years in the United States is due to the practice of vaccination, which in many States of the Union has become compulsory. Some medical men have even gone so far as to state that the past hundred years of universal vaccination has left a blighting curse upon the nation which will require many generations of right living to remove. Science has also discovered that the diseases considered as plagues by our forefathers on account of the devastation wrought by them were what is now known as "filth" diseases and came from unsanitary living in crowded, unsanitary communities. Such a disease is smallpox and its steady decrease the past fifty years is not due to vaccination but to personal and civic cleanli ness. "Men see badness," says the Homeopathic Recorder, "foolishness, poverty and squalor breeding disease and when bred, exclaim: 'Behold, the work of the germ!" California. A. M. B. As evidenced by the references to Tompkinsville, and Montclair, opposition is beginning to crystallize. So much so that the Legislature of Pennsylvania has ordered an inquiry into the subject by a specially appointed commission. The up-to-date kindergartner should follow the course of this investigation as the results are noted in the daily press and be ready to voice her views intelligently when the proper time comes. As long as vaccination is compulsory, the kindergartner should be able to advise the anxious parents how to care for the wounded limbs so that no external germs may find entrance. And it is incumbent upon all who believe that the day for compulsory vaccination is passing to do all that is possible to enforce the well-known laws of sanitary living. The hygienic disposal of garbage and the sewage of a town or city, the destruction of the fly pest, the supervision of the water-supply, etc., etc., the destruction of old unsanitary buildings and the substitution of new and approved ones-all of these measures all kinds; the insistence that doctors shall at once report cases of contagious diseases and the practice of quarantining such, has also had much to do with the controlling of the disease within narrow limits. Such is the power of fear, however, that when an epidemic rages the writer can see that vaccination may save some people by preserving them from fear. The editor once asked a New Thought practitioner now she accounted for the fact that, while on the one hand, some people nowadays insisted that there was no such thing as disease or evil of any kind, the scientists were finding, studying and reproducing the actual germs of different diseases. She replied, there are such actual physical germs and bacilli we cannot deny. But as no plant can grow in a soil unsuited to its particular needs and habits, so no disease germ can develop except in a soil that is congenial to it. If the human body be kept clean and wholesome and the human mind be kept sweet and pure and free from fear the germs cannot find a foothold. Here, then, we find our clue. Keep the individual body, and the social body, clean and sweet, and no vaccination will be needed. Morals and Manners Questions for pupils to answer: 1.
