INOCULATION
Sir,—lf “Wee Macgregor” will look up the medical reports of the American civil war or the South African war oh the one hand and of the Great War on the other, he will probably alter his opinion as to the value of inoculation. He mentions “a relative, of exemplary life, never having had a sick day,” etc. This is exactly the type of person who is apt to get acutely ill when placed in contact with a lot of others, because, unlike the ordinary town dweller, he has never had his resistance to disease increased by frequent small infections. It is natural that the relative of such a person should fe&l resentment, but a little further inquiry would convince "Wee Macgregor" of the value of inoculation. It certainly struck me that one of my .sons was given too much heavy work shortly after his inoculations. In the last war we had an easy time after our inoculations at Home.—Yours, etc., L.8.8. September 9, 1942.
