376 MY LIFE 



(5) Thirty years of decreasing Vaccination in Leicester, 

 and its Teachings. 



(6) The Army and Navy: a Demonstration of the Useless- 

 ness of Vaccination. 



(7) How to deal with Medical Pro-vaccinators. 



This has been written specially to instruct voters, and to 

 enable them to catechise their parliamentary candidates and 

 any medical or other upholders of vaccination. I will here 

 give the last three paragraphs of what will probably be my 

 last word on this subject. 



" Doctors and Members of Parliament are alike grossly 

 ignorant of the true history of the effects of vaccination. 

 They require to be taught; and nothing is so likely to teach 

 them as to show them the diagrams I have referred to in this 

 short exposition of the subject — those of London for thirty 

 years before and after vaccination — of England and Wales 

 during the period of official registration — of Leicester which 

 has almost abolished small-pox by refusing to be vaccinated 

 for thirty years — and for the Army and Navy — which, though 

 thoroughly re-vaccinated and therefore (according to the 

 doctors) as well protected as they possibly can be, yet die of 

 small-pox at least as much as badly vaccinated Ireland, and 

 many times more than unvaccinated Leicester. 



' A doctor who has not studied these most vital statistics 

 has no right to an opinion on this subject. 



k A candidate for Parliament who will not give the neces- 

 sary time and attention to study them, but is yet ready to 

 vote for penal laws against those who know infinitely more of 

 the question than he does, is utterly unworthy to receive a 

 single vote from any self-respecting constituency."
