almost the thc of the birth of DC the Prophet Joseph I 1 am also re remInded reminded mInded that It Is pry ry nearl nearly the tho nI of the Introduction to the then n world of vaccInation ns as the means for Cor Corthe forthe the prevention of oC smallpox It was not until 1795 that the world wa was startled somewhat b by tho announce announcement announcement ment that what up to that time halL had been a scourge upon ulon the tho earth could ue be prevented U by the localization of the disease to one spot SInce the begin beginning lIng ning of time almost disease has been Jeen known In the World also that certain dIseases were wele not followed b by recurrences or second attacks Those who had had smallpox x fear the dIsease agaIn The felt relt faIrly safe in being present during an epidemic of that disease and felt sure that they would not 1111 have e the disease again Some of them were fooled some somo wore were mistaken it did recur Some have hae It IL twice and I know one man who says he has had It thrice While ty 1 fever Is a disease whIch has been known practically sInce the tho beginning of oC time In the tho world few tew It the tho second time Yer very few cw You all the diseases of childhood are not apt to recur In children That the tho scarlet fever foer seldom recurs that a child mn may have hac It that measles Is lIl unto scarlet fever that German measles Is another which seldom recurs after one attack It was this peculiarity that brought to carl early thinkers In ht the world the tho Idea that lr might be done to prevent these le diseases that mankind should not suffer suiTer theIr ravages Many Man Idas were advanced as to various proven tivo measures but as the cause or of the I various arlous dIseases at that time lime was un unknown known or 01 the causes were unknown and amI diagnoses could not be based upon a rational theor theory or of basis IMMUNITY We Vo find certain substances In the blood after certaIn diseases which did not exist there thelO before these diseases We e find certaIn powers by certain cells or of the body after certain diseases which power did not exist he be before fore foro this dIsease We Ve know that bacterIa producing disease produces a certain material which when taken Into OUt our bodies or sets gets upon our bodies has certain effects that to protect Itself to survive against thIs material our bodies In turn manu manufacture manufacture facture that neutralizes or anta antagonizes this product of bacteria If nn any of you ou have been bee beo you OU know lenow that you rou can become Im fin Immune

The snake charmers of India for countless counties generations have hae become immune im immune mune to the bite of the cobra The or Or poison of that most de deadly serpent acts upon as so much oil by br the tho Injection Into their bodies or of minute amounts or of this IncreasIng the from rom time to time has produced aw an effect upon theIr bodies that the cells or of their bo bodies les produce an anti or substance which neutralizes that most dead deadly poison polson i That has happened In America where the rattlesnake Is found In every quarter where you OU will find num numerous erous In Individuals who are Immune to the tho bite of the rattlesnake POISON AGAINST POISON And so with disease that any organism organ organIsm Ism producing a poison that will gh give reaction or

trouble trou trouble ble There Thero were man ninny before 1795 who did not fear car smallpox because they declared they had had cow pox The Th I medIcal history gives the account of many or of these Individuals I thInk it was about 1776 that we n e got about the tho thor r first of th these se over In Holland In Bol BoI BolI I glum Clum and various arlous parts part of England Englund where the Lh disease dLease seemed to ho he more than elsewhere among the cattle Je Jener Jon nor ner Inoculated II a woman n a milk named Sarah Nelms wIth part or of tit th Serum or pus front from one of these sere serc from Crom U a co cow 1 It treat the usual courts COUI At about the eighth or 01 tenth day he h took front this Same mme sore sOle and Inoculated ed Into the arm of a ho boy about S 8 year earl old by b the name o of James Phipps TIli Thi produced the usual sore SOlO that no daub man many of oC you OU mc are acquainted with r Vaccination And some ome months inter this thi same boy was Inoculated with the tho tu Us from u a smallpox pustule without of eC feel Sarah Nelms was inoculated Inoculate nis als without effect Tenner Jenner vaccinated as ashe a aho ho he called It it his own children ren hIs wire wife with material from Crom cowpox It ran the usual course coun e The They were ll of theta them Inoculated di 11 directly with pus from smallpox pustules pustule without effect It was these series or of experiment that prompted Jenner to write tin first honk book upon the tho subject An In y Into the thc Causes and Effects Effect of a Disease Prevalent In the Wester Counties of England Known as Cw Cow Cowpox pox or In tills this work worl he tot of his experiments and ho he advocate the use of this moans means to prevent pox Of course like an any new their in the world It caused ti n great hubbub The people or of England were wele really Ili IliIn In arms against the Idea that It be used or should be enforced as 1 means or of preventing It as was nd at this time Vaccination was nas first Introduced hl l American by Benjamin Waterhouse or of In ht May of 1300 It teas In August ISO 1802 tIn thlIn In the elt city of oC Boston this man Benjamin Waterhouse Inoculated 11 0 boys bos with lie lIw virus Irus or from cow cowpox cowpox pox In November following he took eel eight of these boys bos and Inoculated th then m with the pus tram from a pustule of oC smallPox small Pox In exact exactly the same wa t a that lie hl hail had Inoculated them with this virus from rom smallpox At the same samo time lime vr 0 boys bos who had not been Inoculated with hill cowpox were Inoculated with the tho seal pox virus Irus just as the eight boys bos wore were These eight boys bos were free from of r whatever from this second Inoculation Inoculation lation The two boys boS developed small smallpox smallpox pox from It Then the lie whole 10 bo boy that ha had been Inoculated first were wele In from flom the pus from the pox pots of these two boys bos that took the small smallpox smallpox pox without effect at all Those ex cx experIments caused the health hoard of the state of oC Massachusetts to declare that vaccination was a perfect proven preen tive or of smallpox and advocated a law lawmaking lawmaking making It compulsory In that state COMPETENT JUDGES JUDGE Now there are arc no people In the world who ore are so competent to judge of oC whether Is Is goo good m 01 bad as physicians because lecause the they deal with that subject They see m more re cases of results The They perhaps understand the tho cause and ef effects of these things better than one who has not had either experience or orthe orthe the training In those lines Now I want to give gle you OU just a few Cew I figures on this line which I took the trouble to write down We Ve can com compare compare pare arlous countries In their attitude toward vaccination and its results In Inthe inthe the prevention of smallpox The coun country country try which Is perhaps best protected against smallpox Is Germany German Germany has a compulsory vaccination la law They dont regard there thero what they call conscientious scruples scruple against compulsory sor sory vaccination A conscIence Is a avery very er excellent thing but It cant be measured scientifically like disease In InGerman Germany German the they do not ot consider con conscious scruples so o the they there everybody Jo They The vaccinate and re revaccinate revaccinate vaccinate their soldiers frequently 1574 there since every year rear or 01 two to and has been but one death In the German all the arm army from smallpox where People are aro vaccinated From 1889 to 1893 there were only 52 cases or of small smallpox smallpox pox In all o of Germany German during those four years cars Let us compare Germany German with Belgium Bel BelgIum gIum which country countr ha has no compulsory compulsory sory law During those same years ears from rom 1889 1339 to 1893 durIng those four years ears you know lenow they are countries an epidemic emle In ono one like smallpox would l be apt to be bean bean an epidemic In the other that the means lichens of communication or of travel now Is so perfect that diseases disease can be car carried carried ried mil may be carried long distances In ina a 0 short time So during these four years In Belgium there a moment let me give gle you OU the comparative comparative figures the percentages that In Germany this number of cases would amount to 23 3 In Individuals per pel million inhabitants that out of ten millions there would be 23 3 people having small smallpox pox on only I during that whole tune time In Belgium where Ule they had a noncom law during the tho same years there were Inhabitants per million havIng smallpox during durin the seine same time that Is out or of every ten million there hero would woul be then 2520 people havIng smallpox compared with 21 for Ger Germany many During these same years year In there were per million where there Is no compulsory Lion la law In Russia there were per million or per ten million Inhabitants In Inhabitants habitants during these same years cars Also there there Is compulsory vac ac law Those are statistics that are arc complied compiled under the of the tho state they are arc reliable and It Is Isani ani only upon uton Investigation of large num numbers bers ers or of cases casc that we are able to draw definite and accurate conclusions or of orthe the value of an any means or measure ENGLISH STATISTICS Again let me read to you OU some Eng Ens English lish statistics also I will read you OU just n a little from the report or of an 1 Eng English ng lish commission appointed some seine years a ago o to investigate smallpox and sac ac There Thero were In the first plats pIa co cases of smallpox occurring in J England and Wales ale from 1835 to 1851 No Now of these thew cases there were wen per pel cent of those during that time which claImed they had been vaccinated ed but there was no scar to show sho that the they had been vaccinated Now man many People are arc Inoculated tint Is s undergo the process of vaccination but It take as the tho B saying goes Of DC course COUlse they have not been vaccinated Vaccination menus not only the Inoculation lation with the vIrus but that It shall take that It shall produce the effect lint Is Intended for It to Produce So these people no doubt had been vac vaccinated in that first sense the they had been Inoculated with this vIrus but It dl nt take the they had fad no scar to show that the they had ever been vaccinated So about per Cl cent had no scans 76 per cent of oC these people had ono one I scar 13 per pel cent had two scans and 18 per ler cent had three scars an and 7 of oC oft t 1 per cent had four scars Now that at least the protective goes oes to illustrate forts live tive value alue of ce cc tain forms oC lion ion of those cases Now w front rom 1852 until 1867 during a period or 16 years there were In England Englund cases There were i cent n or these l that claimed they lied had been Cn vaccinated but have hac any scars to show It there here were wele per cent that lied had ono one scar 77 pel pe cent that lied had two scars 3 per percent cent Bent lied had throe three scars scar and 9 of oC 1 put cent that hud searl rs Now ero ilie till first series tint that I rend read there 35 per cent who dente that hunt the they had eer been heen vaccinated OC this last per cent cont said ald the they ha had not been vaccinated Now If wc ill conclude that lint if Ie no sear car remained that the c In had not been vaccinated there I were per cent o of tho those nt who had not been ted that t took the smallpox In the next series It means per cent who had not been vac vaccinated ue that that hint had Smallpox during epidemic Canada In tine the latter fourth or of lie tho lust last century had bunt built up the I idea until It was almost almos a amanIa amania manIa In n that country countr There herc were two t generations or 01 three generations or of people nho had not been vaccinated neither hud tho they to small smallpox pox Lt In F February of 1885 It a Pullman conductor from Chicago taking his train over to Montreal arrived theta tholo with a 1 breaking out on his bod body Ito Ho icon very sick know just shat It wa but he had mingled for a ada aday da day In the city of oC Montreal before he called the tho attention or of a physician to Ills hll condition His case was diagnosed ns as smallpox During the III next 10 months In III the city or of Montreal there note deaths from smallpox In that city alone It spread to oilier othel cIties or of and the deaths In some vil villages 11 lases lages were so great greot the tho sickness vas vasso 1 so prevalent that there thore were not enough well ell to take care or of sick nick There were tint not enough carpenters well to make coffins for fOl the dead There Thero were not enough well to saw lumber lumbar to tomake tomake make coffins lint It a number or of hum belmen bc men In a 0 small way out of a little business made vast vust fortunes through the epidemic tint that the dead might be
