MODERN BIOLOGIC THERAPEUSIS 



The primary wound soon heals, and no reac- 

 tion occurs for three or four days; by the sev- 

 enth day, the vesicle is usually full size; about 

 the ninth or tenth day, the reaction begins to 

 subside; by the twelfth 

 day, the vesicle rapidly 

 dries, leaving a brown, 

 wrinkled scab which fi- 

 nally drops off. A nor- 

 mal scab forms the best 

 protection and should 

 not be removed. If in- 

 fection of the wound oc- 

 curs, it should be thor- 

 o u g h 1 y cleansed, the 



scab being removed if necessary, and a wet 

 dressing of warm 1 to 3,000 bichloride of mer- 

 cury solution, frequently changed, should be 

 applied. 



DANGERS 



The alleged danger from vaccination has been 

 greatly magnified by antivaccinationists. The 

 only danger lies in the fact that vaccination 

 produces a wound, which is subject to the com- 

 plications of any wound. Even a pin prick or a 

 scratch mav cause serious results. Most of the 



Typical vaccination pro- 

 duced by single linear 

 scratch about % inch 

 long, with Glycerinated 

 Vaccine Virus. Ten 

 days after vaccination.
