The records In the Health of.lce cf this city will demonstrate to any 0 unprejudiced rr.lnd the efT.cacy of vaccination for smallpox. It will be O 0 noticed that less than 1 per cent of the cases In this city have been amonr 0 children of school age, who) as a rule, are vaccinated- There has not been, to my knowledge, a single case of smallpox among: the school children who were vaccinated here two years ago, although a large number who were not vaccinated contracted1 the disease after they were permitted to return to school at that time. Statistics also show that less than 2 per cent of all the victims of the disease have ever been vaccinated, and Iir foreign coun- tries where compulsory vaccination is reneral the disease, has been vir- tually wiped out. - ' - O-0 |
