The prevalepoe of mall pelt throughont
New Eugtund and Canada at the present
time has emaciated the above 'subject as a
timely topic for our health talk this week.

quire repetitionhere. Like very discovery
whleh has proved a blessing, ,to maukind,

ignorance, superatition end mellcione, in-
trigue on every 40. It ie not difficult at
any time to fled certain pellicles. who are,
ever ready to set' themselves up,agaiust any'
truth, Al some one has .eptly remarked,
"Iloise and exertion are the ,etock in trade
of snob people," Their principle is the old
one, That a, lie well stuck to ie as good all
the truth," It took years, end a large
amount of ems:notated biota and atatieticia,
to demonstrate isonoludively the positive
benefits to be derived from such a process aa
vaccination 4 Although the centennial of its
discovery has not yet been celebrated, yet
there is no axiom more clear than are the
possible achieVernentm of ineciaatiota To-
day the truth of this state's -mot *Admitted
by all candid thinkere, and denied only by
the wilfully ignorant, •
In proof of this assertionwe hive only to •
note an. array of feats gleaned from ritend
ard authorities to eubetatitiatethie tenth
These have been so plainly set forth by an
eminent veriter that they are here given
without change, The conclusions referred
to are as aollowe
"(1,) That this diodes°, cow pox, causally,
communicated to man, has the power of ren-
dering him unsumeptilole • to ',small pox.
(2) That the specific cowap.mealene,,and.
not other eruptions effecting the cow whieli,
might be m nfounded with it, had this•pro-
tective power., (3.) That the cow' pox
might be cenuntancated at wilt.from thocow
to the hand of mart by the hand' .of the'sur-
geon 'whenever the rr onhaltmok36ttunity
existed ; and (4) That 't he cow pox onoe
ingrafted on the human subject might bip
continued from individual to individual by
successive transmiseions, conferring•oon'ehohl
the same immunity from email pox as Wall
enjoyed by the one firat infected .from the
cow."
Through the lights and shadows -Of over•
three-querters. of a centary.these facts have,
been thoroughly teriteds again andagain,
under almost everyconceivable condition.
As a result of them inveatigritititie it may be
safely stated hat with .such exceptions aa
are always allowed , in everything, persons
who are thoroughly, properly and:sufficient-
ly vaocinated will not take the small poi.
Instances without number can be gathered
from !medical and other. authorities where •
persons have been successfully vaccinated,
and Moe:have served as asaistants and nurses
in small p hdpitale for aveeltia and menthes
Without the disease. • • „ , •
s • a .
Again, if there is no virtue m
vaceatton,
as some claime why is it that only a few'
generatiens ago sreall INA was so prevalent
and fatal that Due in six of the whole popul-
ation in Europe died of •that disease ? Cera
tainly dating the past twenty-five years no
such record as that can be found in that or
any other °metre', .It 4 trite that epidemies
have oocasionly brokers out in different
localities c f each, but its is not 'difficultto
prove that it was.often in those very towns,
and cities where the 'claims pf vaccination
were the least regarded, and in some in-
ettnces n1n et eitirely ignored. •
The question here* properly came up for
discussion, when and how often shall a per -
eon be vaccinated. . In ,order' a to .rightly
answer this questicn, a•carefuland.thoemigh
examination of a large amount of Medical
literature upon the subject hat' been made.,
From this chicly and investigation the fol-
lowing deductions are here offered. '
It is well known that whenever an epid-
emic of nll Pax has occurred, there, hap
always been •selarger • tate oef mortality
among the chidren 6f alewl,weeke• old..to •
five yeasts of age than alining olcierchtiOren.
and adults. It is therefore legiesal to suppteie
that a child should be araceesated as early as
possible, cf course other Wage'at the•sanie
time being favorable: oIf ra child is strong
and healthy he may be traccinated,any time
from six weeks to three mortha old. But
if the child is of a feeble, delicate constitu-
thin, or is eickly, then ii much longer time is
beat to elapse. Ofi course if Brasil pox
should be prevalent ie the conenuaity it
would be necessary to be governed- by the
aurrounding circumstances.
A child thoroughly Vaceitated before he
is one year old, is protected ftoni small pox
until he reaches the age of from twelve to
fourteen, molded he has continued* fair
health uring those years. But if he has
been subjected to a lougaucceasion of severe
attacks of illness, re -vaccination May be
necessary several years earlier. •
At the age of twelve or fourteen a person
should again be vaccinated. Subsequent
vaccination will depend largely upon person-
al habits, modes of living, occupation, and
general -condition of health, Certainly once
In fourteen yeare every one who has not had
either small pox or varioloid should elibmit
to the proteetive Mumma of vacaination,
at that time the vaccination does not take
it should again bo. ropeeted within two or
three rare, for the old inoculation may not
have continued to prove effectual.
In conclusion, one word with reference to
the best meal* of vaesination. In rr ply we
have but one word to say, that is, use only
hoofs* virus. There are those who make it
a business to provide this virus, andthe
process has been perfected so that now the
anger or the possibility of obtaining any
but pure matter Is reduced te* minitraut.
From these firma, whose ranter; are how.
hold words among physicians, good and to -
liable virus can always be obtained. It le
not wise to vaccinate from one patron to an-
other. This was formerly the custom, but
it is now fast going out of user, and their is ,
no good mama why it should not mon he
entirely set aside. Vaccination, if properly
performed, Is safe, and it should be braplOr
ed by all, as in this way the scourge of
small pox may eventually be reduced to a
few isolated cases.
The Anthropological Congtess, which it
soon to be held: at Rome, wilt have a feature
in a collection of 700 skulls Of critnirials.t
Will no doubt be a skullary gathering, but
With so many °dead head*" it will hardly
