APRIL, 1882. གཡུ [PRICE 1d. in the fulness of his experience he dismissed the cow, and pronounced horse-pox "the true and genuine life-preserving fluid." Mr. Joseph Hands, a pupil of the Immortal, has recently reminded the public that perfect security from small-pox consists not in inoculation with cow-pox, but with horse-pox; and when the alternative vaccinations now offered by Government prove equally futile, there may be a final rally to horse-pox. As an American says: "Vaccination has got to die, but it will not die easy." THERE is an article in the Cornhill Magazine for March, on "Living Death-Germs," by Mr. R. A. Proctor, which is worth reading as an exhibition of the possibilities of absurdity under the name of science. Undeterred by Dr. Richardson's humorous protest against the manufacture of spic-and-span new diseases to avert the perils of infection, Mr. Proctor boldly avows his expectation: Ar last the Vaccinists have openly divided openly confessed that Vaccination may be one of two things, a better or a worse, a safe or a dangerous. Government is now fully committed to First and Second Class Vaccination. Notices have been issued to the registrars of births and deaths throughout the kingdom for delivery to every informant upon the registration of a birth, that parents, instead of being compelled to have their children vaccinated in the ordinary manner, may at their option have the rite performed with "animal lymph" on resorting to certain designated stations. This course of action may render our work more difficult by providing means for a double shuffle, which will be freely practised. When disaster or small-pox follows ordinary vaccination, it will be said, "Yes; a sad mistake has been made. The child ought to have been vaccinated with animal lymph." And when disaster or small-pox follows animal vaccination, "That typhus, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and a it will be said, "It is all owing to that new-host of other ailments [sic, but not in italics] which fangled rubbish. There is no vaccination to compare with that from a healthy child's arm." That is how the dodge will be worked. Nevertheless there is compensation. It is of great importance to have our adversaries split in two, with one side discrediting the other. Nor is it improbable that in the close attention that will be directed to the results of the double practice, the failure of both will be made more and more conspicuous. Our advantage lies everywhere in what makes for examination, discussion, and publicity; even as the discreet officials, whose interest consists in the conservation of the rite, have all along deprecated the agitation of the calf-lymphers as prejudicial to the maintenance of the Jennerian mystery. Animal Vaccination has been conceded-not because Dr. Buchanan and his staff have any faith in it over the existing practice, but as the less of two evils-as a means of suppressing a clamour that was becoming dangerous. There remains the possibility of yet another cry, namely, for horse-pox. It is not to be forgotten that Jenner started with horse-pox cow-pox, and that are more or less certainly known to be due to the presence of living organisms in the blood or tissues, would be treated as we now treat small-pox. People inoculated with the specific matter' for each of these diseases, once perhaps in every six or seven years, would be safe from them, or safe, such diseases would be rendered almost impossible; at any rate, from severe attacks. Epidemics of but when they occurred, sensible people could find protection, even as they now find protection from an epidemic of small-pox." HAD we written this, it would have been said we were jeering at "science"; but lo! it is delivered by Mr. Proctor, in good faith as serious probability! What a prospect for doctor-craftperiodical inoculations always going on to meet the risk of "a host of ailments!" for, as Mr. Proctor says: 66 Dangers lurk where none would suspect them, and where only the keen eyes of the trained scienceworker can find them. The poison-germ may attack through the alimentary canal in the food we eat, through the lungs in the air we breathe, as well as directly through the blood current.
