A 1 W I S I THE VICTORY OF VACC1 NATiON THE BATTLE WITH SMALLPOX T'le victor j- of science ever smallpox 1 through vaccination is one cf the greatest sanitary victories ever won. Jenner, the discoverer of this meth- ' cd of prevention, is considered by iis ny authorities the greates benefactor ; of tilie race that lived. ; Lord Macaulay, in his History of England, describing the disease in j England before vaccination, wrote; : "That disease, over which science has achieved a succession of glorious j and beneficent victories, was then the most terrible of all ministers of i deatJi. The smallpox was always present, filling the churchyards with ; corpses, tormenting with constant i tear all whom it had not yet strick en, leaving on those whose lives it ; spared the hideous traces cf its pow-: iv, tur'ng the babe into changeling at v.Iiich the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of a be- j 1 retried r.iaiden object of hone- to In tine latter part of the eighteentl ; century and the early part of the j nineteenth century one-tenth cf all j d-aths in civilized countries resulted ! frcm this disease. Ninety-five per cent of the population cf Europe fcad j the disease at come Period of their ; lives. Every year in Europe 400,... ! deaths were caused by this '"Pesta nif j gna." j Some countries have taken advan- j tage of this great discovery; others have not had faith in this truth nec- i essary to save. It may be interesting to observe the effect of smallpox where vaccination is compulsory and where it is only optional. Between : 1870 and 1S74, in three years an ep idemic of this disease in Austria and Prusia caused the death of 162,00 Autrainl72,000 Prussians, Prussia, pre fitting by her dreadful experience, passed a cq'mpulsory vaccination law; Austria did not. Result: Prussia, with 8,000,000 greater than Au six's lost, in the next ewenty years 8,500 tria during the same time lost 239, 000. Another demonstration of the saving power cf vaccanation is seen in tfae French and German armies in the grat war between these countries. Th French army had not enforced compulsory vaccination; the German army had, and the German soldiers were all vaccinated. Result; The French artoiy lost over 25,000 soldiers from smallpox; the German army, al though holding the French prisoners and living with them, lost only 350 from the disease. Still another demonstration of the protection afforded by vaccination is seen when we compare the annual death rates per million population in countries with compulsory vaccinator and those without compulsory vaccine tion. Compulsory vaccination: Germany, 1.1; Denmark, 0.5; Sweden, 2.1; Nor way, 0.6. Will be Run This Season by Wfinn Mo Fnemmniniffl I Will Have my Opening Sale on rrrtrL.
