    VACCINATION CREED The Department of Health after years of experience with Smallpox and Vaccination, hereby declares: FIRST.—That true Vaccination—repeated until it no longer ‘‘takes’’-—ALWAYS prevents smallpox. NOTHING ELSE DOES. SECON D.—That true Vaccination — that is, vacci- nation properly done on a CLEAN arm with PURE lymph and kept perfectly CLEAN and UNBROKEN afterwards — never did and NEVER WILL make a serious sore. THIRD.—That such a Vaccination leaves a charac- teristic scar, unlike that from any other cause, which is recognizable during life and isthe ONLY conclusive evidence of a Successful Vaccination. FOURTH.—That no untoward results ever follow such Vaccination; on the other hand thousands of lives are annually sacrificed through the neglect to vaccinate—a neglect begotten of LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. ; ARTHUR R. REYNOLDS, M. D., Commissioner of Health, CITY OF CHICAGO, HEMAN SPALDING, M. D., Chief Medical Inspector, Department of Health. -December, 1901. THIRD EDITION, JANUARY, 1903.
