Show i COMMUNICATION. I : EDITOR STANDARD: I was very much pleased to read the jthe recommendation by Dr. J. It. Mor- roll, to the city commissioner, that J every citizen be vaccinated in order to ; down the smallpox epidemic. I was j 'born and raised in a country where , vaccination is a. law, no child being i I allowed to enter a school without aj I certificate from the district doctor, and I have never seen any bad results from the vvcclnatlon. Here you generally gen-erally hoar people say that they would rather havo smallpox than vaccina-jtlon. vaccina-jtlon. but I am of the opposite opinion, i .Also, the recommendation of an iso- lated hospital instead of a pest house is entirely in accord with my view, as I know quarantine works a great hardship hard-ship on a family, especially on the poorer classes, as the fatljor is either compelled to stay at honi-e for three weeks or longer or leave home and board out, which is a great hardship on a man with a meagre income. So let us have the vaccination and also an isolated hospital. Yours for a cleaner and healthier city. JOHN M. PEDERSEN, 1S39 Hudson Ave. oo |
