His answer was: j.'ompuIst)ry vaccination is the only thing that will completely eradicate the disease That is a certain preventive, and if every one were vaccinated, the disease would be unknown. 1 . "THE ONLY WAT . "WE CAN 3ET EVERYONE VACCINATED IS TO HAVE THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDE FOR IT. AS IT HAS FOR COMPULSORY COMPUL-SORY EDUCATION. - "But there is no need for worry THE LEGISLATURE AS IT STANDS TODAY WOULD NEVER PASS SUCH A BILL AS THAT. "If vaccination were practiced thoroughly Bere, the disease would completely com-pletely disappear In six weeks, because there is not an original native case in the State. The first cases in every locality have been imported, and from these the disease has- spread. Now if everyone were vaccinated, they could not contract con-tract the disease by coming in contact with the Imported cases. "The disease Is readily transferred and can be carried on the clothing, and fjread in that manner. - . v . "IF A PERSON HAVING THE DISEASE GERMS ON HIS CLOTHING ENTERS A ROOM. A STREET CAR. A BUILDING. OR BRUSHES PAST ANOTHER ON THE STREET, THE DISEASE MAY THUS BE COMMUNI-I COMMUNI-I CATED AND SPREAD." . I "There is absolutely only one way to avoid the possibility of contracting the I disease get vaccinated."' |
