T. ooper Agent: C,N. Railway G.N.W. Telegraph Clinton, Ontario HOW VACCINE IS PRODUCED. Owing to the vague ideas regard- ing the source and origin of vaccine and the varied arguments advanced to endeavour to minimise the brill- iant results as a preventative against Smallpox I will show you the method of. preparation so you can use your good sense and see that this propaganda against vaccination is the result of fanaticism born of ignnoranee. First of all, the virus is obtained from young, vigorous calves. These calves areas a rule a few weeks old. They are, when received at the Con- naught Laboratories at the Univers- ity farm, kept under observation for one week and carefully examined, to make sure they are healthy. During the time they are in use, .they are fed only on mills, and sterile, sawdust is used for bedding -purposes. Immediately after the period of ob- servation, the animals' hair is re- moved with clippers, and the calf is put in a porcelain bathtub and given a thorough scrubbing. This complet- ed, the animal is now installed in a model sanitary room in which there are terrazzo floors, and tiled, walls, and which is properly lighted, heated and ventilated. The, suite of rooms used for the purpose of housing the calves, vaccinating them, etc. con- sists of a preparation room,.operation room andcalf room. All have ter- azzo floors, tiled walls and every con- venience found in a modern hospital operating room. The plant was de- signed by and built under the shires-' tier of one of the best known firms of hpepital erelliteeje an the =tine eat. Having then perfectly healthy y calf, kept under- ideal sanitary eondie tion, the third Teeter necessary is a supply of a. sq called "seed virus," This is the vaaceine virus whieli is used in the prof9:n1:'atior of the virus :ran calf to calf, The seed -virus used In the Connaught Laboratories is obtained frojn this Research Lab- or'ator'ies of the Deportment of Health of the city of New York, The Di- rector Of these I;,aboratoi'ies is, Dr, W. 1I. Park, one of the leading bact- eriologists anis hygienists in Amer - lea. This seed virus is then produced under the, most ideal conditions, It may be here stated that celves are not susceptible to nor can they convey the causltivo germs of spyhilis or leprosy as is sometimes maintained by those who are opposed to vaccina- tion. The calf before it is vaccinated with the seed -virus is again care -- Tully washed, and the area to he vaccinated is shaved and cleansed, and just � s before the vaccination is clone this area is covered with storile towels. The vaccination of the calf consists in slaking a series of very light scratches and distributing. the. seed -virus over the area so prepared. In this operation, which is done under: striet aseptic conditions, the sante care being taken as that which is ex- eresed by any surgeon in a modern hospital. When the vaccination of the calf has been completed the animal is again put in the calf room, fed with milk, carefully attended, and kept scrupulously clean, The temperature of the calf is taken twice daily. On the fifth or sixth clay after vaccine - ton the typical viable vesicles ap- pear and the vaccine virus is then re- moved.- The calf is chloroformed, and after death the vaccinated are& is carefully cleansed and the pulp, consisting , of . the vesicles, vesicular fluid,e e., is'removed. A complete ex- ailunaton is now made. Each of the internal organs is examined carefully and thoroughly, and if either the org- ans or the body of the calf shows any evidence of any diseased -condition the vaccine is of course discarded. This examination is comparable to the - inspection of meat intended for hurlaan eonstimption which is made at the ab- attoirs. The vaccine pulp is carefully ground with. a - mixture of - glycerine and carbolic acid. After grinding, the mixture is forced through a very fine wire gauze. The resultant emulsion closely re- sembles cream when the grinding has been completed. The mixture of glycerine and carbolic acid very rapidly kills the bacteria which are present in the pulp; and in the course of several weeks (and before the vaccine is sent out) the vaccine is practically free of all bacteria. Elab- orate tests are then made to deter- mine whether any pathogenic germs remain in the virus. Bacteriological cultures, are made and laboratory animals are injected with the vaccine and with fluid cul- ture material. As soon as it has DryGoods and House Furnishing Couch 4. Co. PHONE 78.

Cl'l\tots Ng ec 1 been definitely determined that there afro 00 pathogenie bacteria in the viae es, its potency or g lower to give sot- ] isfactory "takes," 1s ascertained by vaecfalating°rabbits with samples from each lot of virus, After these Ca1'e- fihl tests 011 rabbits and when 'typical "tutees" have bean produced, and all other tests .aro completed the vaccine virus is ready for distribution! It is carefully filled ince sterile capillary tubes, each .capillary tube containing sufficient vfaecine for one person, or it is put into sterile ,glass vials aUflicient hl anloall11 for fifty \mein- titiaris; - • Considera'ble notriety is sometimes given; through paid advertising in- seeted by those opposed to vaccina- tion, to the fact that vaccine virus may, and sometimes does, show the presence of staphylococci, When examined bacteriologically, 50111 stay- phlococei which are always present in the stein, are sometimes present in the virus; but it^ should be remem- bered that even If the virus were stet - Be as indeed it often is, it is at once contaminated when placed on the arm by the cocci in the skin of the arm of the person who is being vaccinated. The 'very careful post-molteln ex_ amination of the calf renders impossi- ble thetranslnission of tuberculosi,. just as pleat inspection renders 1111-' possible the spread of this disease when calves' pleat is used as food. It ' can be very definitely asserted therefore that not one of the diseases men- tioned is ever transmitted by the Vaccine virus. It is sonnetiines argued that tetanus is coursed by vaccine virus. This is impossible be- caaese the 00i1nal inoculation would at onee_,Veveal the presence of lockjaw germs, and die culture fluids would indicate the presence of its,toxin, since both of these are injected into guinea pigs which are very suscept- ible to Lockjaw. Furthermore in a careful examination of several million capillary tubes in the Eye:li n:ie Lab- oratory of the United, Stiites Public Health service, no tube of vaccine has ever been fund to contain Manes ba- cilli. Where tetanus follows vaccina- tion, it is due to infection of the vacc- ination wound with dirt' containing tetanus germs, just as tetanus was observed among mens in the army Whose wounds were' infected with highly fertilized soil containing tet- anus germs, Finally, it has recently -been alleged that diptheria and -sleeping -sickness follows veccination. There 'is not a vestige of sound evidence' to support such statements, Both of these di- seases have been observed in 0001- munities where smallpox did not exist and where vaccinations on a large scale were not being carried on Diptheria has been very prevalent in the city of Buffalo during• the present fall, and various ether American cities where smallpox has not Ibsen re- ported have also had an unusually large number of case's of diptheria recently. Many cases of Sleeping -sick- ness have been reported in Winnipeg during the past two months, but neither smallpox nor general vaccina- tion can be offered as an explanation for its occurence there at this time. Therefore, it may be stated that none of the allegations of those opposed to vaccination, in regard to vaccine virus being responsible for the death or disability of those vaccinated; can be sustained. —J.

A de- cent front fence d seine camouflage fol the stable at the roach side would seem to 1110 writer as calling for im- mediate action. - 2nd—A good thick hedge of cedars on Vinegar II111, west side of the road, would not be unpleasant in ap- pearance and a very cheap snow' barrier. In any event let us have all roads leading to town kept opened in winter, not on sidewalks, but well opened, • . • -3rd—Snow-plowing—The streets blocked by the storm most should he plowed first. Of course the streets leading t6 the `schools -on school days must take nrececlence over other streets, and snow ploughs should be kept off the centre of road, as it only slakes it impassable for sleighs. Sad—Stop ashes being dumped in road in winter. It should not get outside the boulevard it makes an ob- struction which plight very easily make the town liable for damages. 4th—Wood should not be permitted to be •piled on business streets or side walks for a single hour. Our town has paid damages for that kind of carelessness in the past. 5th—Grocer's should be pre- vented exposing eatables unprotected in front of stores. Too many dogs passing that way. At least have the goods above high water mark. Pith—Taxes—Oh dear—where is the mien or cofnnlissionwise enough to make an assessment that would seem just to every body? The assess- ment law is about as badly mixed as any law in the statutes, However, it gives a municipality scope for to use its' own judgement. Why the man earning_81200 a year hits that exempt and an old man unable to worts - with income 01 8001 has none exempt, does not seem coatroom sense let alone just. Allow every householder 81200 exempt whether be works or not. If not Working now Ile probably did some •tinge for his income. . 7th—For road ways on back streets—draining the roadway— The split log drag used freely and the coal ashes of the street distri- buted evenly would soon slake splendid roads. For the front street I think tarvia has the road oil beat- en for keeping up and improving the Macadam. 8th—At the centre of the town a silent policeman was placed last year. He walked away one night and never came back. He was not strictly obeyed even while he held his beat, The corner would be Much improved by rounding off the projecting side- walks at the Royal Bank particularly, improve the corner as stated and place 0 permanent post, then let our energetic police, who are not silent, see to it that drivers keep to proper side in making the turn, horse ve- hicles as well as motors. Enough for this time Mr. Editor— If not slammed too fiercely I alight on some future occasion ask space to register more fireside dreams.
