CCORDING to Health Commis- sioner Goldwater, of New York, one of the most deplorable things about the growing opposition to vaccination js that it has taken root among “ lead- ing men in the medical profession who postpone vaccination of their own kith and kin until the last moment. The world-renowned men have confessed to us,” Dr. Goldwater goes on to “that they have had their children vaccinated only in obedience to public opinion in and out of the profession.” Do our eyes deceive us? Do we really see a statement which seems to assert that world-renowned physicians defer to public opinion in such an im- portant matter as vaccination? If so, what a mess if makes of the situation. First, world-renowned physicians find that vaccination is good, and proceed to create public opinion to that effect. Then, world-renowned physicians dis- cover that vaccination is not good, but dare not oppose the public opinion they have created. Such a revelation casts a discomforting fog over the whole medical business, From now on we shall always be in doubt whether a cer- tain policy of the profession is due to scientific research and artistic demon- stration or merely to fear of “ public opinion ”. One thing, however, is certain. Those world-renowned medical leaders who went to Dr. Goldwater as a father con- fessor and told of their surrender to “Public Opinion”, never intended him to let the public find out about it. 7 = rest YoMeye> caranion Z A LATE DEBUTANTE: --- SOCIETY LEADER NOW!

Prevention of one case of blood poisoning is worth a life-time of care. Dioxogen pre- vents infection—keeps the little hurt from growing big. Put the Dioxogen bottle where the chil- dren may use it for all their accidents. Dioxogen is the pure Peroxide of Hydrogen. It does its purifying work by the liberation of oxygen — nature’s great purifier. Always ask for Dioxogen by name. Look out when a common peroxide is of- fered you because it’s “cheaper”—cheapness means impurity. Cheap peroxides are“pre- served” with acetanilid— the poorer theyare the more they require it. Without nd they would not “keep” reachthedruggists’ shales With acetanilid they keep longer, but it also makes them rank and gives them that objectionable taste and smell that may have made you dislike all peroxide. Look at the label before you buy. Dioxogen con- tains no acetanilid. Dioxo- gen keeps without it. Ask your druggist for a bottle of Dioxogen today. The Oakland Chemical Company, 10 Astor Pl., New York Dioxogen is always sold in a sealed container for your protection. See that this container is sealed when you buy.
