UNION, S. C., JANUARY 7, 1*97. |
We most emphatically deny the report
that there Is a case of small pox
la Union.

SMALL POX. VACCINATION, ETC.
On Monday quite u commotion was
created in Union upon the report that
there was a ease of small pox or
variola at the eotton mills.
, Dr. W. B. Nott. went over and examined
the ease, and at that time he
could not tell whether it was a case
of small pox or not, but we are informed
that he saw the patient on
Hi Inly a Auspicious one if all the statements
we heard made were true, and
well bears watching, lie having come
tfrom Atlanta, where there is, and lias
lbeen small pox. We are liable to
'isve small pox at any time, and no
o ie but a fool or ignoramus will deny
it. Wd are on a main thoroughfare
of travel. Wc are In close touch with
the outside worM. and by contact of
mail* or persons this dreaded disease
is liable to spread. Any hitelligent
person can state the truth of these
facts.
The question immediately arises,
*-!> n ?f| y < unuu'aa ??J
as simple as the question. Vaccination.
Throw up your bunds in holy
horror you smurt old women, who
have learned more by twist of tongue,
than was ever told by Moses and the
prophets, bray louder thun ever you
knowing wiseacres, who only differ
from that well known musical animul,
in having two legs instead of four.
The poet never mudc a truer statement
than when he said "a little j
learning is a dangerous thing." As
\*e said above there is danger of small
pox reaching Union.
There are thirteen cases in the
pest-j';ousc in Greenville now, and a
strong probability of some cases in
our truthful sister city, Spartanburg.
Well, suppose it does come, and
lands over on factory hill, where
houses are thick, what would lie the
result? Why, it would shut down
those mills, probably for months.
All operatives that wero able would
liy to some other mill and produce a
regular panic. Beforo being used
svgain the houses would have to he
thoroughly fumigated or burned,
What would all of this cost tin- city
of Union, ill dollars anil cents, mil.
Mile of fear, feelings anil sufferings''
Bias any one figured it. up? We say
it would bankrupt Union.
Tills all can be prevented by vueriiiution.
"<>, J don't want to be
vaccinated, I iniglit lose my arm!"
"I will run the risk of small pox!" (
Jt is the duty of every parent to have
his child vaccinated, lie does not
I i
know where his child may have to go,
sooner or later, moving about from I
place to place and liable to contract
small pox at many points. Very few ,
of the children in Union today will |
spend all their days here. We would
Im- very much pleased t o see a person .
who had lost an arm or suffered to an I
unreftHonuble degree from vaccinat
ion by u docent and competent pliys- j
Jcifu. We liearl of mouy. but j
hare seen none. Nearly all tho
lymph or vaccine matter used now is
taken from the calf, and is only used
on one person. In old times they
vaccinated persons from the lymph
taken from tho scab of a recently
vaccinated person. In that way
many diseases were contracted. Hut
that custom is about discurtled, and
animal lymph has been generally
used sinco 1870 in the United States.
Wo give below some important
facts concerning vaccination and
small pox, which will do for all to
road and rememoer:
"Various objections have been
brought forward against vuccinulion;
the only 0110 to which importance is
attached by medical men is that a
danger exists of introducing syphilis
into the framo by the use of infected
lymph. Dr. Farr deduced from the
statistics of the small pox epidemic
of 1871, that if 100,000 vaccinated
persons be exposed to certain risks of
contagion, 100 will bo attacked, ten
of which will die; while if 100,000 unvaccinated
people be exposed to the
same risks, at least 700 will be attacked,
of whom 270 will die. The
English Commission of 187J1 settled
the question in the minds of legislators,
as all statistics have since done.
The German Vaccination Commission
of 1884 came to the following conclusions:"
"With rare exceptions, one survived
attack of small pox confers immunity
against subsequent attacks
Vuce'.nation exerts a similar protection.
The duration of the protectioi
varies within wide limits, but is, or
the uverage, ten years. At least twc
well-developed vaccino vesicles ar?
necessary to ensure an efficient
protection. Kevaccination is neces
sary ton years after primary vaccina
tion. The vaccination condition o
the community Increases the relative
protection against small pox acquire*
by the individual and hence vaccina
tion is beneficial not. only individual
ly but generally. Vaccination mat
have an injurious elTeet under certait
circumstances. In the use of liumai
lymph, the danger of transferrin*
syphilis however slight, cannot b<
entirely excluded. Any other bat
effects are apparently only due to tlv
consequences of the wound, e.g., ery
mum as to make the benefit of vncci
nation infinitely outweigh them
Since the introduction of vaccination
no scientifically-proved increase o
uny particular disease or of the gen
oral mortality bus occured. Slnct
the dangers to health and life (vncci
-syphilis, etc.) occasionally connectei
with the use of human lymph can b<
avoided by the use of animal lymph
and since vaccination with unima
lymph has been recently so perfectcc
as almost to equal vaccination will
human lymph, the latter is to bt
gradually superseded l>y animn
SANTUC.
Santtc, .Juno 4.
Clnistmas li;ts uonte and gone and the
New Year is in again. Old Santa t'iaim
put lii his appearance, as usual, and tin
children were made happv. We have
had Christmas trees, big dinners, line
suppers, etc., and every Imdy, Ih?iIi old
and young, have lieen made to forget for
the time, at least, the hard times.
Everyone enjoyed the festivities, and
we have not heard of an accident to
mar the pleasures of the holidays, and
our jieople are braced up for the stern
realities of another year.
The citi/ens held a meeting last Saturday
and elected delegatus to the Cotton
Wrowers' Convention to meet at Union
on Monday (salesday).
There lias Ihtii more wheat sown than
for a long time, and the farmers say
they will sow a large area in oats in the
spring, and plant more corn than usual.
This, I think, is a long stride in the
right direction.
The schools have ail opened again,
after the holiday vacation.
There has lieen so much coming and
going during the holidays, that I will
not attempt to give any personals this
time.
I enjoyed reading the Souvenir tiuiuhcr
of Tiik Timks very much; it was
certainly very interesting. We feci
proud of our |ki|ht; also of Dr. Kant, of
our town, for the part that lie cnutr.hilled
towards that iiiiiiiUt. Anon.
