VACCINATION.
TO ME EDITOR. Sir, —It is evident that the small-pox scare has caused, and is now causing, much anxiety in these colonies. Fond parents and young persons, specially our charming young ladies, are alarmed at the possible advent of a disease which, if not fatal in every instance, may cause disfigurement by its ravages — worse, if possible, than death itself. It seems passing strange that some persons of reputedly sound understanding should endeavour to weaken public faith in the efficacy of the protective power of vaccination, yet such has been attempted by men who should have known better from the overwhelming evidence in its favour. The accompanying extract, clipped from the Australian Medical Journal (published in Melbourne) of last month, may prove of some interest and possible advantage to yonr numerous readers. —I am, &c, T. Aickex, M.D. Auckland, October 13.
