It will be noted that the ordinary danger from smallpox is so actually
and relatively insignificant here that it is regularly six to eight
times less than that of being struck by lightning, and that the danger
from lockjaw of all kinds is so great and constant that it is about
thirty times greater than that from smallpox, whereas vaccinal lockjaw,
which is about ten per cent. of all lockjaw deaths, is at least three
times more dangerous by actual frequency of occurrence than natural
smallpox!
THE HORROR OF HORRORS, CATTLE PLAGUE OR FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE, CAUSED
IN MANKIND BY VACCINATION. MEDICAL IGNORANCE ON THIS POINT SCORED
I have already exposed the deadly epidemics of virulent cowpox or foot
and mouth disease in cattle and domestic animals caused by vaccination.
I now come to expose one of the most shocking results of vaccination
yet disclosed, viz.: the transmission of this horrible cow disease to
the human subject. This disease, as a vaccinal result, in mankind, is
much more common and fatal than has been generally supposed, and every
effort seems to have been made by our vaccinators and health officers
to deny and conceal the facts in this matter from the public, which
is easily accomplished because of the great general ignorance of all
vaccination matters not only by the mass of the people but by the mass
of the medical profession itself. For example, the medical profession
does not seem to be yet aware of the fact that the severe skin and
general disease called “Pemphigus” in man is identical with foot
and mouth disease in cattle, nor do they seem to be generally aware
of the fact that “Pemphigus” is frequently conveyed by “Cowpox” or
vaccination, and they seem to be equally ignorant of the notorious fact
that certain makes of vaccine virus had been infected for years with
foot and mouth disease, and conveyed this disease in epidemic and fatal
form to animals and mankind. Neither do they seem to be aware of the
fact that experience now indicates that Foot and Mouth disease may be
ultimately proved to be only a virulent form of “Cowpox” or a mongrel
form of Smallpox to which ordinary Cowpox or “Vaccinia” may degenerate
at any time like a mild domestic dog suddenly changing, in an attack of
Rabies, to a mad, dangerous, and deadly distributor of disease.
To show that the close relation, if not the identity, of vaccination
with Smallpox and Foot and Mouth Disease is now recognized by
special students of this subject, I may here quote from the speech
of Senator Money of Mississippi in the U. S. Senate, February 25,
1909, as reported in the _Congressional Record_, in the debate on the
Agricultural Appropriation Bill, concerning the epidemic of Foot and
Mouth Disease in 1908, as follows:
“This is an important question with respect to cattle, but
it is very much more important to the human beings of this
country. These vaccine points are the things with which we
vaccinate the children of this country against smallpox. It has
been found that it sometimes makes them immune from smallpox,
but gives them the foot and mouth disease, which is just about
as bad.
“The trouble about the matter is that we can not in the United
States produce vaccine for any length of time, for the reason
that this is not a pox country. It is not the home of the
disease. We have to import it from abroad, and consequently
the vaccine points that are produced upon the spot which is the
habitat of this particular disease are the only ones that will
retain the virus in sufficient strength to enable it to render
the human being vaccinated immune from smallpox. Consequently
we can not, as has been expected by a great many people, raise
our own vaccine points, because they lose their power for
immunity against smallpox. We now run the constant danger that
has been manifested very unpleasantly in several localities
of vaccinating children and grown people with these imported
vaccine points and communicating the foot and mouth disease,
which is just about as bad as the smallpox.”
We will now show in the following pages and illustrations how Foot and
Mouth Disease is conveyed to mankind in vaccination and that it is not
only as bad as smallpox, as Senator Money has stated, but much worse.

Figs. 11 and 12 show some horrible examples of this deadly cattle
plague conveyed by vaccination to human subjects. Fig. 11 shows the
back view of a woman victim with a very severe and fatal type of this
disease, the photograph being taken a short while before death. I have
also a front view of this case, taken after death, but this is too
horrible for even this chapter of horrors, so that I have decided to
spare the feelings of my readers and not show it here. Fig. 12 is a
photograph giving both front and back views of a man with a very bad,
but less severe, type of the disease, who recovered after several
successive eruptions and about five months of suffering.

]
There were ten cases of this kind treated at the Boston City Hospital
in January, 1902, by Dr. James S. Howe, who read a report of the cases
before a meeting of the American Dermatological Association in Boston
in September, 1902, which was afterwards published in the Journal of
Cutaneous Diseases for January and June, 1903, from which I quote
below. Dr. Howe exhibited photographs of these cases at the meeting
referred to, which also appeared in said Journal here quoted, copies of
some of which are now shown in Figs. 11 and 12.
These cases and the published report of them are also cited in the
medical work before quoted, “Acute Contagious Diseases,” on page 82
therein, so that there is full medical authority for their citation
here and ample proof of their nature and origin as being due to
vaccination.
Dr. Howe reported that out of the ten cases of this kind treated in
the hospital six were fatal, thus showing the deadly nature of this
vaccinal disease, which greatly exceeds the average or worst types of
smallpox! In Dr. Howe’s report of these cases, at the meeting referred
to, he stated as follows:
“Early in January of the present year [1902], while the wave
of vaccination was at its full height [during a smallpox
epidemic], there were received in the Boston City Hospital for
treatment, a remarkable series of cases of bullous dermatitis.
All of these cases appeared in persons recently vaccinated....
The longest duration of the disease in any one case was sixteen
weeks, followed by recovery, and the shortest was one week,
followed by death. The skin lesions began to appear in these
cases in an average of five weeks after vaccination, sixteen
weeks having elapsed in one case, the longest, and three weeks
in one case, the shortest.”
It may be proper to state just here that the “skin lesions” and other
eruptions in these human cases were substantially or identically
the same as in the cattle affected with foot and mouth disease in
the epidemic of 1902 and 1908 previously described, these eruptions
being of the _same kind_ and in the _same locations_; that is, the
eruptions consisted of numerous vesicles of various sizes, from the
size of a pea to that of a dime, half dollar and dollar, and these
vesicles broke out all over the body as shown in Figs. 11 and 12,
but particularly on feet and hands, lips and nostrils and inside the
mouth and throat, and in fact on and in all interior parts of the
body covered by mucous membrane, as well as on the external skin, and
sometimes in internal organs. These vesicles would sometimes change to
pustules or semi-pustules as shown in Fig. 12, and these would spread
and run together into large confluent vesicles or blisters, as shown
in Fig. 11, and these blisters would then rupture, collapse, drain
and excoriate, leaving great raw sores like terrible scalds or burns,
as shown in the big black and gray blotches in Fig. 11, thus causing
great suffering and agony in this most pitiable victim of vaccination.
The victim in Fig. 11 was a woman forty years old, who died ten hours
after admission to the hospital and six weeks after vaccination, and in
whom the eruptions first appeared three weeks after vaccination. Fig.
12 shows the eruptions in their early or mid stage, and Fig. 11 shows
them in their later or final stage. And it must be here understood that
these eruptions appear in successive crops, as in the cattle disease,
one crop disappearing and healing, to be followed by another crop in a
few days, and these ten cases of Dr. Howe had from two or three to nine
successive eruptions before death or recovery! The case shown in Fig.
12 is that of a man twenty-one years old in whom the first eruption
appeared four and a half weeks after vaccination and who had _nine
successive eruptions_ before he finally recovered and was discharged
from the hospital about five months after vaccination!
Dr. Howe gave it as his opinion that the disease in these ten cases
was caused by some infection in the vaccine virus at the time of
vaccination, and a majority of the doctors present at the meeting
seemed to agree with him and gave several instances where similar cases
happened in their own practice, thus showing that this disease is
really a common result of vaccination. One of the doctors then present,
Louis H. Duhring of Philadelphia, an expert on skin diseases, said:
“We must grant, I think, in the light of the history of these
cases and what we know of other similar cases, that they are
the direct or indirect result of vaccination. While we hear a
good deal, _pro_ and _con_, about vaccination, of its injurious
results on the part of those who are opposed to it, and of
its value on the part of those who favor it, I have always
felt that those who are opposed to vaccination, or, rather,
those who have brought forward the possible ill effects of
vaccination, did not in some instances have a fair hearing.
I, myself, have seen cases at least similar to the ones
reported by Dr. Howe, as well as others, where the local and
constitutional manifestations were undoubtedly the result of
vaccination.”
Dr. Howe seemed to be somewhat mystified by the disease and at a loss
for the best or most proper technical name for it, and on this head he
stated as follows:
“On the other hand, it might seem more proper to call them,
perhaps, cases of pemphigus. Quoting Duhring in regard to
pemphigus, I will refer to the following: ‘The mucous membranes
of the mouth, pharynx, epiglottis, trachea, bronchi and
even of the alimentary canal are not infrequently invaded,
especially in the varieties _malignus_ and _vegetanus_, giving
rise to various local lesions, mostly whitish patches and
excoriations. In grave cases there are pain and difficulty in
breathing and swallowing, diarrhea, exhaustion, collapse, and a
fatal ending.’ These cases of mine certainly showed all these
symptoms.”
In answer to this point, Dr. Duhring then said:
“I think Dr. Howe has acted wisely in selecting the title he
has and connecting it with vaccination, because it is to that
point that we wish to call attention, namely, that instances
of bullous dermatitis, often severe and even running a fatal
course, do at times follow vaccination. ... That it is closely
allied to what is known as semi-malignant or malignant
pemphigus; I think probable, but whether we call it bullous
dermatitis from vaccination, or pemphigus from vaccination,
or malignant pemphigus, matters very little at the present
period.”[5]
I think we can all readily agree with this conclusion of the doctors,
that it does not matter much what we call this horrible disease caused
by vaccination, whether it is “Pemphigus,” “Foot and Mouth Disease” or
“Virulent Cowpox,” all of which seem to be fit and proper names, the
main point being that this deadly infection is frequently contained in
and conveyed by vaccine virus in the operation of vaccination.
The further interesting and surprising fact to be especially noted
here, is that while some doctors seem to be fully aware that
“Pemphigus” is often caused by vaccination, yet they all seem to be
quite ignorant of the fact that the cattle plague known as “Foot and
Mouth Disease” is identical with the disease called “Pemphigus” in man,
and which is known to be frequently conveyed to butchers and others who
handle carcasses of cattle.
The doctors in this discussion were also completely ignorant of the
fact that a most extensive and virulent epidemic of Foot and Mouth
Disease prevailed in New England in that very year, 1902, when these
deadly vaccinations occurred, and that, furthermore, some of the
strains of virus used in that year actually contained the foot and
mouth infection and that this dangerous infection came from Japan and
actually continued for several years, from 1902 to 1908, as before
shown in government reports, thus making a chain of unbreakable facts,
which, I think, proves the guilt of vaccination for these horrible
deadly results beyond any question.
Even if the doctors were inclined to doubt or deny the responsibility
of vaccination for these horrible results, they could not, logically
or truthfully, do so, for the proof of this causation and relation
is written as plainly on the bodies of the pitiable victims as was
the “handwriting on the wall” described in the Bible. And it is now
necessary only to call careful attention to the eruptions shown in Fig.
12 to get a full proof of this point, for it will be noted that the
vesicles or pustules which appear all over the body in Fig. 12 have a
very distinct “umbilicated” form with a depressed center and raised
margin which is characteristic of only two diseases, vaccination and
smallpox, and a clear proof that either of these two closely related
diseases was surely concerned in this eruption, and that this eruption
is therefore essentially a virulent “cowpox” or a mongrel smallpox. On
this point of identity compare Fig. 12 with Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 6, pages
83 to 88.
THE AWFUL CASE OF A VACCINATED SCHOOL BOY INFECTED WITH FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE, OR VIRULENT COWPOX, AND IN ERUPTION FOR THREE YEARS!
In the next illustration, Fig. 13, I give another instance of a
vaccination horror very similar to or identical with the horrible cases
just exposed.
The photograph, Fig. 13, shows the case of a vaccinated school boy
eleven years old infected with foot and mouth disease, virulent cowpox
or “pemphigus,” which first appeared a few weeks after vaccination and
continued intermittently, sometimes in very violent form, for three
years! The boy was vaccinated in September, 1914, and this photograph
was made at my request eleven months afterwards, in August, 1915,
during a comparatively mild stage of the eruptions, which were much
worse at other times. These eruptions finally ceased in 1918, after
over three years of great suffering by this child victim, and great
anxiety and expense on the part of his parents, and so far without
any compensation whatever from those responsible for this great evil.
Whoever the Law of Justice should decide to be responsible for such a
humanly-inflicted calamity should certainly be made to pay for it.

Eruptions similar to foot and mouth disease appeared a few
weeks after vaccination and continued intermittently for over
three years! Photograph shows a mild stage of these eruptions,
which were much worse than this at times. Eruptions ceased in
1918.
]
I will now let the intelligent father of this afflicted child tell the
full story of this case and the suffering of the boy and his parents,
in the father’s own words as taken from his letters to me on this
matter. In his letter dated August 2, 1915, the father, Mr. Arthur
Smith, of New Windsor, N. Y., states:
“In reply to your letter of July 29, 1915, in reference to
the condition of my son from vaccination, I wish to say that,
although it is eleven months since he was vaccinated, at the
present time he is in the same condition he was in when the
account of his sickness was published in the _Newburgh Daily
News_, March 12, 1915; and although since then we have taken
him to four different doctors, they have so far failed to do
him a particle of good; in fact, they are at a perfect loss
at the present time as to what is the matter with him. The
greater part of his body from his toes up to the crown of his
head is covered with sores or blisters which are in a continual
form of eruption, which form on his body like a small bubble
which is filled with a water-like substance, and have to be
lanced to let this water out. This is identically the same kind
of blister which began to appear in a short time after he was
vaccinated, and after we called in the physician who vaccinated
him, Dr. Kingston of Newburgh, he immediately pronounced it a
case of cowpox. He left a prescription for him but he rapidly
got worse, so we decided to call in Dr. Barth and he also said
the boy was suffering from a severe case of cowpox; in fact,
he said it was the worst case he had ever seen, and he was
surprised the boy was allowed to get so bad. But I wish to give
Dr. Barth due credit: he worked hard and faithfully to get the
best of the disease. It would take him a full hour at times to
lance all the sores. After bathing him in antiseptic lotion,
he would cover his body with salve and bandage him all up, and
it did appear that, after treating him for about three months,
he had got the best of the disease; in fact, had improved so
much that Dr. Barth said, in due consideration of the cost we
were under, that he thought it would be safe to leave him in
the care of his mother and let him know if he had a relapse.
But I am sorry to say he did not continue to improve; he began
to break out bad again and at the present time he is in the
same condition I have previously stated. It seems to me that,
inasmuch as the State is so insistent upon the subject of
vaccination, there should be something done to put upon some
one the responsibility of the condition in which vaccination
has placed my boy, as it is a continual drain upon my earnings
between the doctors and the drug stores.”
On September 19, 1915, the boy’s father wrote me describing his
condition as follows:
“In the first three or four months after vaccination, in
which time he was very bad, the blisters would first form
like vesicles filled with watery fluid, some would get better
without turning into pustules and other blisters would start
the same way, fill up with yellow pus and then get better only
to crop out again in another place. It would be impossible for
me to say how many successive eruptions he had since being
vaccinated as he has practically been in a state of eruption on
one or other part of his body since vaccination (in September,
1914). For a long time his feet and legs were very bad, also
his arms. Then his feet and legs would improve and he would
break out on the head and neck. At the present time (September
19, 1915), with the exception of a few sores on the ankles,
his feet and legs are in pretty good condition, but his head
and neck are very bad; in fact, far worse than when I had
the photograph taken (August, 1915). This is the third time
they have appeared on the head in violent form. The arms have
probably been more affected continually than any other part of
his body and have been very bad all the time, also the back of
the hands, but not on the inside of the hands. He has not as
yet had any sores on the inside of his mouth, but has had them
on the nostrils and on the chin, and the outside of the mouth,
and odd ones on other parts of his face. At the present time
the blisters are about all of the vesicle variety.
“On the 30th of May, 1915, at the suggestion of Dr. Barth, I
took the boy up to Albany to see Dr. Curtis, who is a blood
specialist (Skin Expert in the New York State Department of
Health), and he asked me a good many questions and looked at
the boy’s arms, and after due deliberation he said the boy was
suffering from ‘Pemphigus,’ and he said he had never seen a
case like it, with the exception of one man of 50 years of age,
and he said that he died.”
The man here referred to as having died from “Pemphigus” after
vaccination and as being in a condition similar to that which afflicted
this school boy was doubtless Ernest Hoffman, aged fifty-four,
architect of Albany, N. Y., who died in Albany, March 26, 1908, and
whose case I have carefully studied. The copy of the death certificate
in this case, now in my possession, gives the sole and only cause of
death as “_Pemphigus Vulgaris_,” without any mention, as required by
law, of the contributory, coincident, primary or secondary disease of
vaccination, although it is notorious that this man was vaccinated and
was suffering with a strange and serious skin disease, as a vaccinal
complication, before his death, and the case was the subject of
several articles in the local newspapers at the time, as a vaccination
complication, or disaster. And this is a good instance, right here, to
prove my serious charge against vaccinating doctors, that vaccination
disasters are frequently denied and concealed in death certificates,
either through ignorance or intention. And this denial or concealment
in this case is easily proved because a personal investigation, made by
one of my colleagues at the time, secured the information and admission
that the patient, Mr. Hoffman, was actually vaccinated with the Mulford
virus, which was officially reported to have contained the infection of
foot and mouth disease at that time, unknown to our doctors and even
unknown to the makers of the virus itself! And this infected virus was
the alleged cause of the fearful epidemics of foot and mouth disease in
cattle in 1902 and 1908, and the probable cause of the same infection
in human victims, as already clearly shown by the government reports
and other data previously cited. And, furthermore, as the disease
called “Pemphigus” has now been proved to be identical or confusible
with foot and mouth disease, I therefore think that a strong chain of
facts has now been drawn around vaccination as being the real cause and
source of the “Pemphigus” in both the dead architect and the surviving
school boy, and in the other cases cited, and that this chain of proof
is now complete and unbreakable, and most convincing to any reasonable
mind.
For further proof on this point see the Report of the New York State
Department of Health for 1908, pages 280 to 296, where this case of
the Albany architect, and others, are described, and their relation to
vaccination and foot and mouth disease indicated.
The last letter received from the father of the afflicted school boy
is dated December 12, 1918, and closes the description of this case,
which shows a final recovery of the boy, after years of suffering and
with a mutilated or much discolored body, as the result of the many
eruptions:
“In reply to your letter of December 3, 1918, I wish to say
that my boy at the present time is in fairly good health, and
there are no eruptions on his body and with each succeeding
year the effect seems to be gradually dying away. The summer
of 1917 he broke out in eruption quite bad, especially on the
legs, being most severe on the thighs, and also in the summer
of 1918, but not near so bad as in the preceding summer. He is
free of any eruption at the present time, but the upper part
of his body and especially his arms are covered with a large
amount of brown spots on the skin where the eruptions have
completely died away, but I think that with each succeeding
year, as he grows stronger, the effect will entirely disappear,
with the exception of the brown spots on the skin, which I
suppose will always remain and for which there can be no
remedy.”
