    IO they were taking humours that had passed through millions of diseased and filthy people which would be spreading all kinds of disease, when they made a law to inoculate for small-pox and opened King’s College Hospital for the purpose. Common sense ought to show anyone that small-pox could not be so bad now as when they used to give small-pox through inoculation, the interested vaccinators say that vaccination is the cause of it, it is false. When they were about to repeal the murderous law of inoculation which caused one out of every 14 of the population to die of small-pox, the interested inoculators like the interested vaccinators now were against the law being altered to stop the foolish murderous practice of inoculation. If vaccination were not inoculation in disguise,how could small-pox get worse after they repealed the law of inoculation ? The following figures, which are the true statistics, will prove my statement:— Deaths. The first epidemic in 1857-58-59 . 14,244 Second epidemic, 1863-64-65. 20,059 Third epidemic, 1870-71-72 . 44,840 Increase of population from the first to the second epidemic seven per cent. Increase of small-pox in the same period nearly 50 per cent. Increase of population from the second to the third epidemic 10 per cent. Increase of small-pox in the same period 120 per cent. Deaths from small-pox in the first 10 years after the enforcement of vaccination, 1854 to 1863, 33,515 deaths. In the second 10 years, 1864 to 1873, 70,458. Does not this prove that small-pox increased with vaccination P Yes, and so do the taxes come heavy on the public to support this useless disease-creating practice, which is only another name for inoculation. Prior to the passing of the compulsory vaccination law one small-pox hospital was sufficient for the whole of London, now there are six. The return of the London small-pox hospitals shows that over 90 per cent, of the patients there
