You are too sensible by half not to know that vacei- nation is the greatest possible boon humanity. Besides, the law demands How about the tetanus that follows vaccination ? Bosh. Never happens, or almost never. But if it did, haven't you ever heard of our new serum for tetanus? Surely I have heard about that. But I didn't know before that it was in- tended to follow vaccination. What ? But what about the science of vacci- nation, anyway, doctor? What is your excuse for defiling my healthy body with a filthy substance, the exact composition of which you do not know and the po sible effects of which you choose to i nore? There are no ill effects. All assumption, my dear doctor. Of course, vaccinating me does not injure your health, but how do you account for the fact of disastrous cases following vaccination the world over since the ab- surd and barbarous practice began, to say nothing of the increase in chronic diseases, Stop, young man! You are plainly ignorant of the fact that the most ter- rible scourge ever known, smallpox, has been almost entirely vanquished wher- ever vaccination has obtained. Yes, doctor, you have stated several things just now that I am ignorant of as being facts. For instance, you will recall that even Sydenham declared smallpox a comparatively mild disease.

Again, how happens it that if vaccination protects and you are vaccinated, you still consider your- self in peril because of me, who is un- vaccinated and prefers to remain so? Lire, this is trivial and I cannot waste y time on you. All right, doctor, but if you are intent on helping humanity, just watch your sanitary measures a little more closely, stop your serum and vaccine treatment till you understand it, and you will have a better lot of human beings to practice on.
