I" Health, not disease, is the best | prophylactic There iz a law, back | of this thing called "vaccination," { but there is neither science nor phil- osophy-back of it. Many eminent physicians in various parts of the world have condemned it, and more, not so eminent ;, would, not for the "coercive injunctions of the state." We note that our school trustees humbly submit *'to the law," but 't is a tyrannical law, and "it creates {§ the right of resistance." If I were a school trustee I would not be co- erced. If the school children under my care were obliged to produce "certificates of vaccination for ad- mission to schools," I would want jto know why 'tha theatre and pictur: show goers should not present vac- +eination certificates too, before ad- | | mittance to these places. The | schools are less likely places than these are to contract and spread di- rsease. Why this discrimination ? Why not ask the managers of all the shows, and the preachers of all the churches to demand certificates be- fore admission, the same as the principals of the various schools are {asked to do? This order of the i] | Board of Health is a one-sided, un- i} | fair and useless order. To take ad. |} | vantage of the poor school children if | because they can be debarred from |} | school is a mean bit of law. | Suppose we grant for the *'nos- | trum' all the prophylactic powers i | cleimed by the most orthodox be- i | lievers in ft, yet, vaccination, as a j | means to prevent small-pox in a []| community, would be practically i} | useless. First, becausé it is impos- 1] sible to get everybody "vaccinated; |j | many will not submit to it. We know J | how campulsion broke dewn here |f | nine years ago, and we know how they failed in Toronto last year to enforce it. These non-submitters, Ij | of course, are all good material for | small-pox. | Then there are several classes of | persons who have to be exempt any- { way, the infants under vaccination age, and old people, and all those in jpoor heaith and those suffering from various diseases. Also, there | is a largo class of school children at {@ certain age (the age 6f puberty), | who should not be vaccinated. It [1s a critical period in the life of [every boy and girl. The constitu- | tional changes taking place then 8 should not be disturbed by any mor- | bitic principle. It they are, the ctousequences may be very serious. [A beautiful girl, not a hundred miles from Kingston, v = buried re- cently, in her fourteenth year, hav- ing been vaccinated last fail when in perfect health, but never was well afterwards. This is the testimony | of those who know. If 1 were a medi- | cal man I would not like to take | the responsibility of interfering with {the order of nature at this time of i life. | Then there are children of vari- ous ages who are not in perfect health, who should not be vhcei- nated. . The indiscriminate vaccina- | tion of school children is a great | mistake. But if common _sense, good judgment and discrimination is used in the matter, the thing is |at once seen to be impracticable. | Anyway, a large proportion of the community will always be un-pro- tected, and vaccination to keep | small-pox out must inevitably fail. | malt when we consider the great ||| risks the vaccinated take, even {| death itself, its utility is altogether | condemned, | "When once you interfere with || the order of nature there is no know- ing where the result will end," said | Herbert Spencer, citing an admission [Dy Bir James Pagot that vaceination probably effects a permanent change fin the components of the body, Spen- cel iiquires 'whether it is lkely that | the constitution can be altered in re- | lation to ome invading agent and re- | main unchanged in regard to all oth- | et invading agents." There is every | ronson a priori to -believe the con- trary. | 1 coneider this philosophical as i peot of the subject so impentant that fl I would like to give, not what a mere J | layman has to say, but what the bio- | grapher of Lord Lister, Dr. Wrench, |l| London, has to say on serums and || vaccines in general. If the serum en- | | thusiasts and pro-vaccinationists will il | reag=this cardfully, I think they will ||| see 'that a litle philosophy is not a f | 15 | mental machinery. The author says, page 367: - "Serums are special antiseptics which destroy spécial microbes and none-other and their value depends upon the doctor being able to detect the peculiar brand of microbe that is already actively producing dis- ease in the body. When the disease 1s actually there the injection of the right serum does sometimes help the | body to overcome the disease, but | the method can have no general ap- | plication and must always await the outset of the disease. The vagcine on the other hand increases the power of the blood to overcome parti- cular form of microbe. e method { vaccination was founded not upon | a philosophical understanding of vi- tality, but upon the experience of | Qairymaids and cow-keepers. Jan- ner's work was empirical, Lister's bhilosophical. The 'danger of empiri- cism is that it is always specific; its value depends upon a particular case | or conditions. The philosophy of vac- cination; one may say, does not really { exist. There is in it no unified princi- | ple. The vaccination method which 'Would require a separate vaccination | for every separate disease, is not even feasible. The most one can say | for the vaccine method fs that where | one particular disease prevails in a threatening matwer, then if it can be staved off by a method of vaceina- tion its use is legitimate." hs 1 would like to ask. does such a | condition prevail im Kingston now, and it it did, would the vaccination of a few healthy school children "stave it off"? Again "It seems even possible that a vaccine protects - ust one disease by Toncentrating the blood's vitality against that disease bad thing as a balance wheel in their ! w= = = oO a IH HMI MH ren rtm a ee it from the blood to resist a certain dis- | 8 left wish only skim milk for the rest--a process only justifi- able it the particular disease is es. pecially threatening to life itseltr."

This film should be secured by the mayor and filed in the archives. | The audience was privileged to soe | how movie pictures are made. Geo, W.
