Excerpt from Homoeopathic Envoy, Vol. 17
Olive Oil. - Dr. Keyes, of Chicago, is quite enthusiastic over the use of Olive oil in tuberculosis or consumption. Says it is far better than the traditional Cod liver oil, and he is right.
Haddon Hall. - We call attention of our readers to the advertisement of Haddon Hall, Atlantic City, N. J., in this issue of Envoy. Atlantic City is one of the wonders of the American sea-coasts - a veritable city with towering steel buildings, immense piers, miles of board-walk and a delightful climate. Haddon Hall is one of the first-class hotels of Atlantic City, and every one who has stayed there will testify to its elegance yet home-like comfort. You cannot do better than to make it your abode if you go to "Atlantic." There is nothing between it and the ocean save the board-walk. Write for terms and mention the Hom?opathic Envoy.
The "Law!" - Not long ago in a town in Western Pennsylvania, the edict went forth from the Bosses of the public health that everyone must be vaccinated. A widow with a young son refused to have him vaccinated, believing it to be a health killing measure. The "Law" compelled her to send her boy to school. Here the wonderful "science" of vaccination intervened and said the boy should not attend the school while unvaccinated as he would be a "menace" to the health of the vaccinated children. How a clean, wholesome child could be a "menace" to the health of a crowd of children with foul sores on their arms, the exudations of which coming in contact with a cut or abraded surface will produce a vile running sore, how a wholesome child could be a "menace" to these diseased ones is a question often asked of the pro-vacs, but which they with great dignity refuse to answer. Well, to shorten the story, between the two "laws" the widow was arrested and fined. She replied that she could not afford to pay the fine, so she was sent to jail. Serving her term she was again arrested, again refused to pay the fine and again sent to jail for a longer term.
Think of that, men and women of this so-called "land of the free!" A poor woman jailed by a pack of petty officials. If there had been a man among them he would have flouted those idiotic laws, which put an end to liberty of conscience and freedom of person. The only good that can come of such cases of fanatic tyranny is that in time they will arouse the people and like a whirlwind the people will sweep Barber Jenner's milk-maid's superstition from the land.
Revolt Against Vaccination. - In Bellingham, Washington, when the schools opened in October, there was a rebellion on the part of a large number of the pupils on account of an order by the Board of Health that all pupils should be vaccinated. There was a total enrollment of three thousand five hundred and thirty-one pupils. Out of this number one thousand six hundred and sixty-four pupils refused to be vaccinated and remained at home.
Perhaps this is the only way to avoid the tyrannical ruling of the Board of Health. When pupils and parents rebel against such orders, and refuse to obey them, the Board of Health will see the futility of issuing such orders. Vaccination should at least be left to the choice of the pupil. If anyone wants to be vaccinated let him be vaccinated, but those who do not want to be vaccinated should not be forced to have the virus injected into their system.
If vaccination really protects, then the ones who are vaccinated should have nothing to fear from the unvaccinated. If the unvaccinated are willing to take the risk of getting small-pox, let them do it. It is their own affair. It is wrong to force vaccination upon anyone who opposes it, for no one, not even a physician himself, can tell what the results of vaccination may be. - E. P. in Medical Talk.
