The Great Problem By Newton T. Hartshorn
OF ALL who stand out on the pages of history, the mighty men of this peculiar generation are the most unfortunate. It is said that circumstances make the man, and that is true: but circumstances may unmake the man, and this is equally true. At no time in the history of the world has the need of truly great men been so urgent as now. It is not that there are no men now who would be great under the same conditions that made other men great in history, but that the issues are so varied and the problems so intricate and vast that no man or • combination of men is equal to solving them.
The whole world under modem scientific development has merged into one great economic unit; and as just stated, men cannot manage it. Under divine direction Economics rule. Big Business, Politics and Ecclesiasticism, as we have known them, are but the servants waiting on Economics, How quickly a failure of crops and a famine put them all out of commission!
Men like the Czar of Russia or the German Kaiser may imagine themselves to be Samsons, swinging the jawbone of an ass: but the Samson has vanished, and even the jawbone is but a memory. It may yet come to pass, however, that the Kaiser, in view of what is to come, may be considered as very fortunate to have landed as softly from his dizzy height as he has done.
Of^U the men of this generation, Ex-President Wilson had the golden opportunity to become one of the greatest men in history. If he had stuck to his fourteen points, had made no compron^ise and had returned to America still insisting, he would have been re-elected. It was the consciousness of defeat that paralyzed him. But Ex-President Wilson is no exception. The man or the combination of men does not live that can solve the problem and bring order out of chaos. Lloyd George, Briand, Lenine, and all the rest are doomed; their thanatopsis awaits them. They are doomed because they essay to reconstruct, and uphold an order of things which the divine command has already decreed for utter destruction, by the inexorable working of the law of cause and effect. A billion-ton economic sledge-hammer is descending on aH who essay to uphold and perpetuate that old order.
President Harding is no exception. In “The Mirrors of Washington,” a satire on the fourteen big men of the country, the following appears about him:
“He compensates for his own defects. Almost as good as greatness is a knowledge of your own limitations, and Mr. Harding knows his thoroughly. Out of his modesty, his desire to reinforce himself, baa proceeded the strongest Cabinet that Washington has seen for a gsn-eration.”
Very good! But if his statement reported in the press is true: “The people have misjudged the great financiers [Big Business]; they sincerely desire the public good above their personal interests,” it shows where his policy of good will to everybody is leading him. The size of the gold brick they have handed the American people through Mr. Harding, we may be sure, will be about the size of the sum of all the spare cash in the pockets of those same dear confiding American people. This same old jawbone of an ass gilded in the latest fashion will land Mr. Harding as deep in the mire as Mr. Wilson's visionary fourteen points mired that Samson.
Human nature never yet changed in one night A silk purse was never made out of a sow's ear. While there are quite as liberal, unselfish, kindly men among the great capitalists, on an average, as among poorer people, yet the very fact that they have secured and hold princely fortunes is proof that money has been the mam thing with them; and it will continue to be the main thing. The fact that love of it is the root
of all evil is as true today as it ever was; and in the inevitable squeeze, the famine and anar-shy that are bound to follow as a result of the insane World War, men of wealth will be as de* termined to hold possession of their wealth as . they ever were, determined to . safeguard and : perpetuate the old order; and the Billion-ton hammer will come down on them. Some of them, no doubt, when they see the terrific nature of the crash, in sympathy for the suffering of others will sacrifice their last dollar.
Jesus said that it would be as difficult for a .rich man to enter the kingdom of God as for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. He referred to that little side-gate in the wall of the city, which was called “the needle’s eye”, where belated travelers entered after the great gate was shut for the night; but the camel had to be unloaded, made to kneel, and was squeezed through. All the wealthy will have to unload and kneel, before they can get in; the unloading of most of them, however, will be involuntary. The process is now commencing.
Anyone who is not a natural-born idiot knows that the term “great financiers” is another name for Big Business, and that it rules ecclesiasti-oism and politics (an unholy accord). How quickly the Interchurch World Movement collapsed when it went against the Steel Trust!
All who think that there is any Christianity in it are deceived, blind as bats. They do not realize that the old order of things (Satan’s kingdom) is being completely torn down.
Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Wellington, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln, all combined in one, could not save Satan’s kingdom when the divine order goes forth to tear it down! Neither can all the clergy in the world. “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed.” Every one who tries to save Satan’s kingdom will fall under the economic trip-hammer, afidjbe crushed to pulp. One man, the only truly great man of this generation, Pastor Bussell, forewarned them all. Admit that Pastor Bussell was right! Never! Very well, keep right on, and you will get there, under the billion-ton trip-hammek. You may get through the eye of the needle;-but as the ablest chemist who perfected T. N. T. stated (referring to the remark of Jesus about the rich man’s getting through the eye of a needle), he would reduce them to nitric acid (the human body reduced to its lowest liquid chemical form is nitric add) and squirt them through. The process of reduction would not be very painful after the first second.
Jesus said, referring to this time: “They that exalt themselves shall be abased, and they that humble themselves shall b e exalted”. The wealthy who thoroughly humble themselves and seek righteousness will not need to be reduced to nitric acid to get into the kingdom, but may be of the “millions nonliving [who] will never die". But they have no time to lose in getting ready. It would take some time for the excessively rich man to unload voluntarily; but it will not take long to unload him involuntarily when the cyclone breaks loose. But he would personally get no credit for an involuntary unloading.
Is not the philosophy, plainly to be seen, in this situation, unanswerableT Act on it; escape the trip-hammer, and run the gauntlet unscathed. -
Jesus said, referring to the end of the age and the tearing down of Satan’s kingdom: “Whoever shall fall on this stone [referring to Himself and His doctrine] shall be bruised [humbled and seek righteousness] but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder”. (Matthew 21:44) There you have the billion- . ton economic trip-hammer, and back of it ths
command, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God ' 1 with all thy mind, soul and strength and thy " neighbor as thyself”. The time has come when *
that law is to be enforced by economic law. You \ can, if you prefer, be a bat in the orevioe or
some mental dark hole, blinking and squeaking
when the light is turned on you, as it surely -will be, if it is not already: or you can be a -rational, human being with eyes open seeing the signs of the times. You can’t help seeing them - -
unless you purposely close your eyes. “None so . blind as those who will not see." However, if you are a bat you shrink from the light because it - M
blinds you. “A prudent man foreseeth the trou- — '
ble and hideth himself, but the simple pass on «, and are punished.” The prudent(wise)man does 1 not, however, hide himself in some dark vam* -pire-bat hole; but he hides himself in' the brilliant light, where the vampire bats can’t see, but . where all the wise can see. -1
It is much better to be wise than foolish.
You are a free moral agent, and can yet take ' | your ehoioe. But remember that the macUao- -i |
--------------------------------------------l—— --------------------: j
like conventional Christianity, crossing yourself and shouting “Lord! Lord!” from morning un" til night the year round, or every Sunday re
peating the formula, “Lord, be merciful to us miserable sinners,” will not pass you into the kingdom of heaven. Ecclesiastics sm has fallen to the low position of being a mere footman, to-Big Business. If you think it can save you with its other subservient tools, the politicians, you have another guess coming. If you think
1Communism or Socialism can save you, you have another guess coming. Get down to bedrock facts — unadulterated truth — and act before the cyclone strikes. If Big Business, > Ecclesiasticism, and Politics could have saved ' . the world we would have had no World War. - i How in the name of common sense, after the * ) world is already smashed, and burned, and starved, murdered and plundered, and crushed to death with debt, can the same old unholy accord, Big Business, Politics and Ecclesiasti- ’ cism, restore it?
Is Civilization Complex?
ONE often hears reference made to the com. plexity of our modern civilization; but few . • have wondered if civilization could be modern if otherwise. Perhaps none have ever interro-- gated this common consensus of opinion.
It is generally conceded that increase of population and growth of cities coupled with better modes of communication, modern inventions, world commerce and enlightenment are the causes which operate to make civilization com, . plex Modern conditions, the economists tell us,
"'call for more laws and legislation, more asy-. luma and hospitals, more complicated systems of distribution of food-stuff, etc.
It is recognized that the business world is / one mad rush of intense nervous strain—work and worry. Dreamers and idealists have sought relief from this condition in the lonely hermit life. These advocates of the simple life state that we must assume the habitat of the fabled cave man if we would enjoy the closest communion -with nature. Some of the more advanced advocates of this principle even urge their disciples to try roughing it in the nude state as . being the most idealistic. So the story is circulated of two young ladies roaming through Rocky Mountain forests with only nature for a garb..that they might report on the merits of the tJteory. But the present-day city resident needs not await the return verdict of their re*” port to realize that such a life would have its
r drawbacks, provided he-has tried camp life and
mosquito^ during his summer vacation.
As a matter of fact the climax of a model civilization would be idealistic simplicity. How* ever, the complexity of modern civilization is not apparent but real. Our civilization is a net. work of entangled confusion. We find throughout the land rival institutions doing the work
By H. E. Coffey which only one should do. Competition, it has been said, is the life of business, but like war we must concede that in effect it is destructive. These conditions came with the gift of modern enlightenment; and were brought about by the influence of Satan exercised through the hearts and minds of men. Selfishness dominating the human heart has used for the benefit of the lordly few these discoveries which should have been for the common good. Thus has resulted our castes from rich to poor.
Hence we see that the cause for the complexity of civilization lies not in civilization itself but in the imperfect human instrumentality through which it must operate. Just as God’s dealings with the nation of Israel demonstrated the inability of imperfect humanity to keep a perfect law, so also His favors to the gentiles are to show that man’s efforts to bring about righteous conditions cannot succeed.
Only by the application of the divine remedy can order be brought out of the chaotic conditions into which the world is fast drifting. When the commanding and authoritative voice of the Lord speaks peace to the raging elements of human passion, then will be ushered in an ideal civilization without complexity. Love will be the divine law which will operate in the hearts and minds of the people to the exclusion and banishment of selfishness and greed. When the gift of everlasting life is granted the people they will no longer need to go down into the tomb and there will be no need of costly records but in the perfect minds of men all the necessary records will be stored. There will be no need of doctors, undertakers, professors, and “D. D.’s”. Yet there will be every convenience that the human heart could wish for and life in full will be enjoyed.
Sun • Spots By Newton T. Hartshorn
AU. the great events in the world that have marked the changes in the condition of the . human race have correlated with changes in the physical world. For instance, the change in the duration and character of the life of the human race at the great deluge was accompanied by changes in the climate of the world, caused by the devitalizing glaciation that followed the : deluge and by the marked increase of nitrogen in the atmosphere, causing fermentation, a factor in decay and death.
Before the deluge, what was considered a normal life for man was under 1,000 years; physical conditions determined it. After the deluge the normal life of a man was reckoned under 70 years, and physical conditions of the earth determined this also. The fact that it is quite ccmmcp now for human life to be extended to 100 years finds its explanation in the diminished ice area at the north pole, which has been followed by greater vitality in human and vegetable conditions.
Whether sun-spots are the result of modern solar conditions we cannot determine. As in all other sciences, astronomy is still in its embryonic stage, but indications seem to point to the fact that changes are taking place in the sun as well as in the earth, and that the earth’s changes to some extent originate in the sun.
Astronomers are coming to the conclusion that the appearance of spots on the sun are periodic, persisting for seven years and mainly disappearing for eleven years; that the seven years of sun-spots are characterized by greater pre. cipitation in summer and winter and by lower average temperature, although each period of 18 years inclusive seems to l>e a few degrees on the average warmer than the previous period. This explains the gradual subsidence of glaciation, in the northern hemisphere, the all-the-yc;u-?bund ice line in the arctic regions slowly re treating.
Observation seems to establish the fact that of the seven years of sun-spot prevalence on the sun the l^rst and last years are characterized by great eccentricity of climate—a spotty condition on flic earth—some parts entirely without rain for many months and in other parts an abnormal rainfall. The sun-spots seem to originate at the poles of the sun and are probably caused by local centers of electrical or magnetic disturbance which throw out into space spotty electrical spheres or lanes. These do not strike the earth. As the spots continue to develop they appear to spread toward the equator of the sun, and in the sixth or seventh ■ year to reach it, and in that year to reach the.
earth and the other planets which are on the plane of the sun’s equator. Accordingly the frt£ quent display of aurora and other electrical and magnetic phenomena result, as we have seen, in spots in this, the last of the seven sun-spot years which commenced in 1914. Astronomers . have stated that a peculiar maliferous influence seems to emanate from these spots; and the conditions psychological and physical prevailing since 1914 seem to bear out this conclusion. The dry weather in England, France, and Southern Russia, causing failure of crops and famine in Russia, show's the effect of physical changes and demonstrates the dependence of human and vegetable life on physical conditions. u
The eleven years between the seven years of . sun-spots seem to be characterized by a low average of rainfall general all over the world . and a higher average of temperature. We are now just entering that period, and we may look with great interest on the effect upon the human race following the low physical and psychological condition of mankind resulting from the confusion, destruction, and moral degradation of the great war.

Jesus, evidently speaking of this time when answering the question of the disciples, “What shall be the sign of thy presence and of the end of the world [age]?” (Matthew 24:3-7) said: “Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in divers places”; and He likened this time also to the deluge (Matthew 24:37): "But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming [Greek, parousta—presence] of the Son of man be”. The prophet Zephaniah evidently referred to the same time when he said: "Wait ye upon ’ me, saith the lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations that I may assemble the kingdoms , to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth [the present i
evil order—Satan’s kingdom] shall be devoured ‘ with the fire of my jealousy”. “Seek righteous-" ness, seek meekness; it may be ye shall be hid in the day of theLonn’sanger.”—Zeph. 3:8,9; 2:3. ■ • All living upon the earth, except Noah and ’ - '■ his family, perished in the deluge; and in this deluge of trouble, the antitype of the Noachic deluge, it would appear, all will perish except ' • those who seek righteousness and humility.
Jesus (in Matthew 24:21, 22) said, referring to ’ this time evidently, and in answer to the same question of the disciples: ‘Tor then shall be , great tribulation, such as was not since the bell ginning of the world [this “world" or order of ' things—Satan’s kingdom—commenced after the
deluge; another world or order of things prevailed in the antediluvian age] to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”
As at the deluge, a new world commenced, so a new order of things will commence immedi-c ately aftej this antitypical “deluge”. As after the Noachic deluge only the few—the faithful family of Noah — survived to begin anew to people the earth in the new world, the new order; so now only the righteous and the meek in heart intention will pass through this deluge to be the nucleus to institute the new order.
The human race then will start on the upgrade back to the restitution of eternal life lost by Adam (Acts 3:20, 21), the resurrection of the dead being one of the early features of the new age (world). The millions—among whom the meek and righteous will doubtless predominate— that pass through the deluge, now on, being the nucleus to start to receive them; and aB'the first installment of the resurrection comes back these will help prepare for still other companies to return. "Marvel not at this; for the hour isAeming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice and come forth.” (John 5:28) Sincere Christians cannot deny the accuracy of the statements of Jesus. The righteous and nteek will be ready to take hold and help take care of1 still greater companies returning from th# grave. The unrighteous and selfish who are awakened, and who will not take hold and help care for those coming back, are held in restraint — condemned to restraint and judged by their willingness or unwillingness to serve others who need their help. So we see at the end of this new world or age (the Millennial age), another harvest will follow, as at the end of the antediluvian age and of the gospel age.
At the end of the antediluvian age or world only eight persons, Noah and his family, were sufficiently meek and righteous to pass through * that deluge. All others poked fun at that old, crazy-head Noah and his sons for building a ship on dry land. “What silly nonsense r And ' । today, at the end of this the gospel age (this evil world, Satan’s kingdom), people sneer and poke fun at those lunatics who are a lot of । calamity howlers, saying a great time of trouble I is near when this “world” will all be “burned up”. “What silly nonsense!” As a matter of fact those “lunatics” do not claim that the literal world will be burned up, but that the old order of things will be burned up in the heat of war, hate, starvation, pestilence, and anarchy: that will be hot enough. Already the heat of famine, social unrest, and debt in Europe is dif- . ficult to bear; and in America it is warming up.
The end of the age now just about to commence Jesus refers to in Matthew 25:32, when all who have been resurrected will have had an ■ opportunity to learn righteousness but when those who have remained selfish, proud, conceited and rebellious will be placed on the left side, opposite to the meek and righteous, and the King (Christ) will condemn them to eternal torment 1 Oh, no! To the second death, which will be annihilation.
Millions will pass through this present deluge (time of trouble) and enter the new highly vitalized physical conditions in which human life will naturally be prolonged nearly a thousand years. By the end of the thousand years, the earth will be completed — a new physical . i condition will have obtained of which scientific men — geologists, pathologists, biologists, astronomers and other minds — catch glimpses, J and in which normal life will be never-ending.
Millions now living who are meek and at j heart longing for righteousness will pass 1 through the present time of trouble and enter the new physical condition, now developing, by ; which normal human life will be prolonged nearly a thousand years and will enter the next i great physical change in earth conditions, when j normal human life will be never-ending life. | Hence, “millions now living will never die”. |
The Vaccination Infamy By a. M. wuton, M. D.
Beprinted by Request from Twin Falls, Idaho, Timet
THE bold command of the county health (f) officer that all school children must be vaccinated or be excluded from the schools surely smells of despotism plus. But the good doctor has discovered the presence of smallpox "in many separate and distinct localities”, and we are advised "to take safeguard measures”, etc. But first, Doctor, we want you doctors to agree among yourselves as to the efficacy of vaccination. Now, as it stands, the best half of the medical profession denounce vaccination, not only as being useless as a specific for the prevention of smallpox, but because it propagates various other diseases, such syphilis, tuberculosis, cancer, erysipelas, and many other loathsome and incurable disorders. The following statements of some of the world’s foremost physicians may be of interest:
Dr. W. J. Collins, for twelve years vaccine physician in Edinburgh and London, writes: "If I had the desire to describe one-third of the victims ruined by vaccination, the blood would stand still in your veins”. Dr. Stowell, with still larger experience, declares: “Vaccination is not only an illusion but a downright curse to humanity”. Dr. Hitchman, of Liverpool, says: "I have seen hundreds of children killed by vaccination”. Dr. Bicord, a distinguished French physician, admits that syphilis is often transmitted by Vaccination. Dr. Edward Pallard, medical inspector of the government board m England, published a pamphlet in which he confessed “that of forty-six children vaccinated by him, thirty-nine became afflicted with syphilis”. Dr. J. A. Hensel, a German army surgeon in an address at Salt Lake City said:
"I was on duty in Strassburg when over two thousand cases of smallpox were in the pest-house, and every one of them successfully vaccinated but three months^tefore. I was laid up for five weeks, though vaccinated the seventh time. In 1898 I witnessed the amputation of three arms and the discharge of four men from the army for general debility, all from vaccination. After this experience, I am convinced that vaccination^ ia npt protective.”
Other t^Jling testimony from Germany is not lacking. Dr. Alexander Wilder, editor of the New York Medical Times and professor of physiology of the U. S. Medical college of New York, says: _________ _________ ..
“Vaccination is the infusion of a contaminating ele- .3 ment into the system, and after such contamination\ou
can never hope to regain the former purity <rf your
blood. Thus tainted, the body is made liable to a bort . ’./.v of ailments; all cases of consumption may be as unequiv- * ocally traced to vaccination as effects follow causes*** -
Does vaccination afford any protection at all f ; j Dr. Creighton: "In my opinion it affords none -at all.” Dr. Giel: “The smallpox epidemic in Marseilles commenced with a young man with 4 deep vaccination scars on both arms.” I
What does vaccination dot Dr. Pigeon: “Vaccination is liable to produce smallpox; it pro-disposes to this disease and renders it more serious. Vaccination predisposes to typhoid fever, diphtheria meningitis, etc., and is a powerful factor in the debility and degeneration of the human race.”
Why should vaccination be opposed 1 Dr. -J. W. Hodge, Niagara Falls, N. Y.:
“Because under whatever pretext performed the implantation of disease elements into the healthy is' irrational and injurious. It is subversive of the funds-., mental principles of sanitary science.”
The outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease among cattle in New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Maryland has been investigated by the agricultural department at Washington; and its cause has been traced to calves that had been used for vaccine purposes by some of the wealthy serum companies. And this is the stuff that the medical trust grafters want to contaminate the school children with.
And now for the legal status of compulsory vaccination. The American Eagle, of Estero, Fla., refers the vaccine doctors to the words of Blackstone, the founder of all modern legal lore. His statement is so completely against these vaccine poisoners, as to leave them not one legal leg to stand on:
“No laws are binding,” says Blackstone, “which sa-mult the body or violate the conscience. Both the life and limbs of a human being are of such value tn the estimation of the law, that it pardons even homicide , if committed in their defense.”
The supreme court of Illinois has ruled that "a healthy child is not a menace in any community or school”. No school board or board of t education has the constitutional right to dray your children an education even if you do not subscribe to the biggest fraud ever perpetrated in the name of sdenoe.
Doctor Favors Vaccination By “Doctor*
THE foregoing letter regarding vaccination has done immeasurable harm. There was much truth in the letter, and much error. As to the position of the health officer in declaring that one “must” be vaccinated I have no defense . to offer. The great American freeman does not like to be compelled—and he will not be compelled. But as to the efficacy of vaccination for smallpox and of its harmlessness there can be absolutely no doubt. It is one of the few proved facts with which the medical profession is acquainted. Unlike the treatment for nearly all . other diseases, vaccination for smallpox has remained practically unchanged throughout all the years since it was discovered; At the present moment I can recall no other treatment for disease that has not been radically changed during the last half century.
Of the efficacy of vaccination Sajous* “Analytic Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine”, which t\ may be regarded as the latest word on this and other subjects relating to disease and their treatment, says:
"As may readily be ascertained in any smallpox hospital, recently vaccinated persons, including children, can live in such an institution, wait on the patients therein, breathe its contagion-laden air,' and totally escape the disease. As recalled by Gay recently (Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal, April 6, 1916), anaB* pox caused, before the discovery of vaccination by Dr. William Jenner, a tenth of the deaths in ordinary times, one-half in epidemics, and destroyed, maimed or <Hs-figured one-fourth of mankind. The evidence that vas-cination practically prevents smallpox st the present time is overwhelming. .
"Countries that are most efficiently vaccinated Buffer least from the scourge. To give but a few examples, Germany, where vaccination is obligatory, has been free from the disease for more than forty years, while the adjacent nations are never free. Systematic vaccination by the surgeons of the United States army in six provinces of the Philippines, having an approximate popiH lation of 1,000,000 reduced the annual smallpox mortality from 6,000 to nothing. During the succeeding' -five yean thete was not a death from this disease in this region of a vaccinated person. In 1885 smallpox broke out in Montreal; the upper classes protected themselves by vaccination and escaped; the ignorant classes-refused and 3,000 perished. If any event in human affairs has been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt it is the great benefit to be derived from timely, efficient, skillful vaccination against smallpox.”
Let me say that I have no interest whatever in controversy, only a desire to set right any whose preconceived ideas are against vaccination or whose minds may have been led from ths path of truth by the letter of the opponent. •
A Second Protest
THE foregoing letter in criticism of my article on The Vaccination Infamy is novel and interesting. Though a letter not identified by its author indicates, usually, an unsound premise, fis apparent sincerity of purpose and wellmeaning urges in me some comment
The “Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine” referred^, as having the “latest word” on vaccination, is novel, in view of the fact that we have the history of vaccination since its discovery and introduction in 1798. Here we have some statistics from England, where its discovery originated and are merely records of cold, plaintfacts. Vaccination was made compulsory in 1853; smallpox deaths the first ten years of enforced vaccination (1854 to 1863) 83£15. Smallpox deaths the second ten years •f enforced vaccination (1864 to 1873) 70,458,
By A. M. Wilton, M. D.
increase of smallpox in the same period, 120 percent,
The London Lancet has been frank enough to comment that "in view of the facts the opposition to vaccination is not surprising". In its columns are reported from year to year do-tailed accounts of various cases among the vao- । cinated, and it was in this authoritative publication, July 15, 1874, that 122,000 vaccinated ■ persons were recorded attacked by the epidemic j in England and Wales, with 10,000 deaths. Be- 1 ports of facts like these, ghastly and undesir- j able, and announced by a voice as impressive j as that of the "Encyclopedia Britannica”, have 1 so influenced popular sentiment in England ; that compulsory vaccination was repealed, and | has been for about thirty years. I
The statistics of Germany have been called ' I upon to support the theory of vaccination, yet Dr. Kalb, the royal examiner of statistics for Bavaria writes: “A closer examination of the figures left no shadow of doubt that the so-sailed proof [favoring vaccination] was a complete failure”. In Bavaria, these were the facts:
“In a single year 3,994 vaccinated died of smallpox. The total number attacked by the disease and who had been vaccinated exceeded 29,000. This, it was pointed out, was a liability of 400 percent greater than that of the unvaccinated person.
“In Prussia, with compulsion rigidly enforced, the death rate for 1852 was four times that of England. In 1871-2, 124,948 of the population died of smallpox.
'Tn the Franco-Prussian war, the German soldiers, all, besides being vaccinated in childhood, had been revaccinated. In the recruiting depot thousands had been vaccinated twice; 53,288 able bodied men, their systems ' saturated with cow-pox lymph, were attacked by an epidemic of smallpox which proved nearly as destructive as a cholera invasion.”
“Vaccination,” says Siljestrom, an educator whose studies in politics, economics, have placed him as an expert at the head of the admirable school system of Sweden, “impairs the defensive strength of nations. The latest medical official statistics in support of the doctrine of vaccination are completely worthless and irrelevant and the evil done for the last seventy-six yean can never be completely undone.”
Is vaccipe virus a syphilitic virus? I will quote Dr. Chauven, in his notable address before the French Academy of Medicine, October, 1891, after detailing his elaborate experiments which had continued for years, concludes:
"(1) Vaccine virus never gives smallpox to man;
(2) Varioloid virus never gives vaccinia to the cow;
(8) Vaccinia is, in all probability, a modified form of syphilis, as has been clearly pointed out by Dr. Charles Creighton of London, and Dr. E. M. Crookshank, profeasor of pathology and bacteriology in Kings College, London, two of the highest living authoritiee on these subjects."
Dr. Charles Creighton, who was employed to write the article on vaccination in the ninth edition of the “Encyclopedia Britannica”, because he was considered the ablest living authority on that subject, says:
“The real affinity of cowpox is not to .smallpox, but to the greatpox. The vaccinal reseda is not only very much like the syphilitic reseda but it means the sama sort of thing. The vaccinal ulcer of every-day practice is, to all intents and purposes, a chancre; it is apt to bo an indurated sore when excavated under the scab; when the scab does not adhere, it often shows an unmistakable tendency to phagedena.” •
I now leave it to the readers, if in their judg- -ment, vaccination for smallpox is "perfectly harmless” as is claimed by the man who reveal-eth not his name, and asserts that I, because I . do not believe that vaccination has any merits at all, and that it is a dangerous delusion, am “leading the readers from the path of truth”.
Science by the Unscientific By l. w. Putvam, M. n.
SOME people are prompted to express their final concrete opinion on an intricate scientific subject with an appallingly small fund of knowledge thereon. I know a man who will read a newspaper article on a scientific subject and feel himself sufficiently informed to argue with ttud even instruct those who have made a careful, exhaustive study of this science. Man's knowledge on most scientific subjects is very imperfect and limited; however, man has some scientific knowledge which is extremely valuable to huknanity, and it is not for those untaught in t^is line to condemn it as worthless. I am reminded of the woman who objected strenuously at accepting any advice from a young physician. “That young upstart of a doctor can't tell me anything about raising children: me having had ten of them, and at my age having buried seven of them.”
The Golden Age is kind enough to open its columns to the people; and it would seem that the people would be kind enough in return, to investigate a subject carefully and exhaustively before presenting it, that the public may feel, of all publications there is at least one unbiased and perfectly reliable, that being The Golden Age. Its columns should not be used by prejudiced or self-seeking individuals, for the advancement of medical cults or schools, nor for condemning procedures, appliances or articles of which they know little or nothing.
I look upon the article on “Antitoxins and Vaccines” in the July 20th Golden Age as a bombastic assault against a most valuable sei-entific therapeutic weapon for the overcoming of certain diseased conditions: and I am very, very sorry that the minds of The Golden Age readers have been poisoned by such an article. The author, calling attention to the fact that we are entering a new age, evidently takes it for granted that whatsoever i s produced and brought forth at this time is of the new age, and therefore t o supplant our present day knowledge; referring to some of the numerous new medical cults springing up throughout the country as "schools of natural healing”. God set in motion forces which produce replacement, repair and mending of human tissue; and this is the natural healing process that takes place. Nobody can produce natural or unnatural healing; for it is as one scientist remarked, “I cleanse and God heals”. There can be no natural way of treating disease; for disease is an unnatural process and is soon to be done away with.
The attack on antitoxins and vaccines is obviously ridiculous. The first statement of the second paragraph is untrue and has no foundation: the statement regarding diphtheria following the introduction of vaccines. Diphtheria was known to Aretans and Galen, and epidemics reported in Europe during the middle ages. Smallpox vaccine was not introduced into Europe until the eighteenth century, and the first report of vaccination was made by Jesty, a Dorsetshire farmer, on his wife and two sons in 1774. Diphtheria antitoxin was first used in 1894. These facts were reported in the works of Osler, Forcheimer and De Sajous. So diphtheria was prevalent long before any antitoxins or vaccines were used.
n The “History of a Case” proves little or nothing; and mdny such isolated instances reported are mere happenstances, and could he found in connection with any form of treatment. Diph-theria-could have been carried, as it often is to the country home, on books, clothes, playthings, and other baggage, or even upon food. We do not know the circumstances under which certain member^ contracted tuberculosis; we do not know how sahitary were the surroundings; and if the cancer was produced by a vaccine, we would be very glad to know it, as we have been hunting the cause of cancer since the practice of medicine became recognized as a science.
True scholars of the practice of medicine would never think of condemning a valuable proven form of treatment upon the testimony of one
case or even on a dozen cases. Many of the
so-called new schools of healing condemn vac-
cines and antitoxins, not through experience
but, as the use of these does not agree witlj
their theory of practice, they must of necessity
condemn them through prejudice. . . •
Real medical scientists would be interested only in the quotation of cases and statistics . i when a sufficient number were cited that they
could feel the element of chance had no place
therein. Now let me quote some reliable statis- \ tics which should aid one in deciding the value .... of diphtheria antitoxin and smallpox vaccine.
‘Tn hospital practice the mortality from diphtheria was formerly from 30 to 50 percent. In the Boston.
City Hospital the death rate between 1888 and 1894 was
only once below 40 percent, and in 1892 and 1893 rose
to nearly 50 percent. Following the introduction of
antitoxin from 1895 to 1903, the death rate has not once been above 15 percent. In Boston during the era ending 1903 the mortality per 10,000 of the living has : ranged from 30.65 to 88.73. The mortality has greatly । i decreased, from 18.03 per 10,000 living in 1894 to ' 3.31 in 1903.”—McCollom, quoted in Osler’s “Praotioe ' of Medicine”.
“Previous to 1894, when antitoxin was first employed, the mortality from diphtheria in all the Paris hospitals for children averaged 50 percent. As compared with this i the following statistics for the years from 1901, in Mar- , fan’s service, are peculiarly significant. For 1901-08 i 1,122 cases, total mortality 21 percent, for 1902-03 '
1,048 cases, total mortality 11.1 percent, in 1903-04, ,
C05 cases, 14.2 and 9 percent, for 1904-05, 561 cases, 7.6 and 5.47 percent, and for 1905-06, 534 cases, 10.11 and 6.97 percent.”—Marfan in the Eevue men. de i* enforce, April, 1907. .
“Statistics on the effects of antitoxin. The writer ' divides the eases studied into two classes. The first before the use of antitoxin, and the second those treated with antitoxin. In 1,087 cases of diphtheria belonging to the first class, the mortality was 37.8 percent, while in 4,226 eases belonging to the second class the mortality was only 9.7 percent."—Timmer in Herl. Klin. Woch., Bd. xlvii, S. 1313, 1910.
Now for a few on smallpox vaccination:
“In unprotected persons smallpox is a very fatal dia-e.isc. the dvathrnte ranging from 25 to 35 percent. In William M. Welch’s report from the Municipal Hospital, Philadelphia, of 2,831 cases of variola (smallpox), 1,534, or 54.18 percent, died, while of 2,169 cases of varioloid (cases previously vaccinated) only 28, or 1.29 percent, died.”—Osler’s "Practice of Medicine”.
“The evidence that vaccination practically prevents smallpox at the present time is overwhelming. Countries that are most efficiently vaccinated suffer least from the scourge. To give but a few examples, Germany, where vaccination is obligatory, has been free from the disease for more than 40 years, while the adjacent nations are never free. Systematic vaccination by the surgeons of the United States army in 6 provinces of the Philippines, having an approximate population of one million, reduced the annual smallpox mortality from 6,000 to nothing. During the succeeding 5 years there was not a death from this disease in this region of a vaccinated person.
“In 1885, smallpox broke out in Montreal; the upper classes protected themselves by vaccination and escaped; the ignorant classes refused and 3,000 perished.”—Sa-Jous’s "Analytic Cyclopedia of Practical Medicine”.

“Some explanation of these figures is necessary that they may be fully appreciated. The great reduction in file death rate is seen only in those cities and countries where serum treatment has been widely employed. Nowhere in Europe is this true to the same degree as in Paris, Berlin and Germany generally; and probably nowhere in Europe has it been so little used and so slow in gaining favor as in London.”—Holt’s “Infancy and Childhood".
To tenure vaccines and antitoxic serums, in ‘heir early days, did carry impurities and produced diseased conditions in the persons inoculated ; but modern methods and technique have perfected the process of production, so that those turned out now are free from impurities; and if infections are introduced with them it is due to lack of proper care and cleanliness on the part of the physician administering them.
We often hear that diphtheritic paralysis is
produced by the use of diphtheria antitoxin. It . is a fact that there are more cases of diphtheritic paralysis than before its use; but that is to be expected, for the reduction in mortality is ' responsible for this fact. Many paralyzed cases j. would have gone into the grave if it had not . been for the use of the antitoxin; and as most cases of diphtheritic paralysis recover com- ' pletely, we are all glad to know that they may v be saved to remain on earth a while and per- _ ;
haps be of the “millions now living that will -never die”. Also, if we will search back into -medical history, we shall find that diphtheritic paralysis was recognized and known long before ' antitoxins were discovered.
Tuberculosis and cancer are everywhere prevalent and have claimed their victims by the millions for centuries, long before vaccines and antitoxins were discovered; and one who is logical would hestitate to condemn these forms of treatment because cases can be reported here ’' and there in which these diseases attacked the individuals inoculated, for it is easy to find exactly as many with these diseases who have > .
not been inoculated. How should we look upon - ...
the attack on cancer and tuberculosis research? We appreciate that a small amount of benefit has accrued from the tuberculosis research, and little or nothing from the cancer research; but . humanity would have good reason for condemning medical scientists for cruelty and neglect of their duty if they did not prosecute a relentless and untiring search for relief and cure of these horrible pestilences which are upon mankind. The reference to the torture of animals is the old anti-vivisectionist’s cry and has been proven groundless so often that sound-minded people should in the existing light be ashamed to raise it again. . ~
Experimentation upon animal life—and this . can be done in a humane way—is necessary for the perfecting of aid and relief from the diseases and pestilences which attack the human , race in this present time. <
Once more I beseech those who "take their pen in hand” to allow it to remain inkless until they have sufficient knowledge on the subject under consideration that they may use the spirit of a sound mind and not misjudge and thereby misinform and misguide the readers of ' this sincere little journal, The Golden Age. ;
A Living Death By j. j. Wentui
r< TJEING a constant reader of The Goldbh ''x Age since the latter part of 1920, and see
-"* ing in the July 20, 1921, issue (Vol 2, No. 48) ► the important article on "Antitoxins and Vao-
c; sines”, by Mrs. W. R. Burzacott, and myself
~ . having been an innocent victim of these bligbt-
mg inventions of the evil one, I am relating ~ my experience with the hope that it may be
‘ the means of saving some one from sufferings,
disability and death.
On August 11, 1916, I suffered an attack of rheumatism, which affected my right Hmb. ' ■ 'After being treated for several weeks by the ■ local physician without any beneficial results, > I was advised by him to resort to a certain vaccine manufactured by a wealthy company. ■ To this at first I objected; however, as time passed by without any improvement, I at last < consented to its use, receiving in all about eleven injections.
. From the very first injection the disease took
' a turn for the worse. Within a very short time
■ the limb was so painful, and the muscles in it
- so contracted, that it was impossible for me to straighten it out, to bear any weight on it or even to walk. .
This contraction of the muscles continued until January 3, 1917, when I finally had to take to bed, despite all that different doctors could do, By March 19,1917, the right limb was twisted in back of the left one, and both of ' them were flexed (drawn) rigidly up against my abdomen unmovable and untouchable. During all this time (from August 11,1916 to March 19, 1917) I suffered the anguish and agony of the “damned”. Any attempt to move the afflicted ■ ' parts or even a slight jar would cause the most excruciating pain.
Finally, on March 19, 1917,1 was taken to a . hospital to have my limbs stretched and - straightened. It required three operations to straighten the limbs and to break up the adhesions in the joints. After the limbs were straight, they were fastened securely on long . splints for six weeks. At the end of six weeks the splints1 were reiuoved and 8 forty-pound " extension weight was fastened to each limb and ‘ allowed to remain there for another four weeks.
In the meantime, however, I was daily given ' three hypodermic injections of sterilised
(boiled) cow's milk, each injection oonsisting . of about two fluid ounces.
The hypodermic needle was about as thick - . as the lead in a leadpencil, and was injected ( i about half an inch under the skin. After both * -arms became too sore and swollen, the milk ■ was injected into both thighs and groins.
These injections were kept up for about eight • weeks, at the end of which time I was more dead than alive. Both legs were badly swollen and with the forty pounds of iron extension weights continually pulling on the sore,’ inflamed joints, the agony and suffering that I endured is indescribable. I honestly believe I would have died had I not been removed, by my request, from the institution. To add to my sufferings the injections so poisoned my system that I became one raw open sore, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, making it necessary to call in a physician. "
On August 29, 1917, I entered another hospital, where I remained for nine months, till May 20, 1918.
While a patient in this hospital I was again treated (f) with two different kinds of vaccines, but with disastrous results, one a nerve vaccine,' the other a rheumatic vaccine, both manufao- ' tured by another wealthy concern. The “nerve" vaccine, to which injection I was forced to submit or be expelled from the hospital in midwinter, with below zero weather and snow several feet deep on the ground, caused the muscles in my toes to contract, drawing them against the soles of my feet and dislocating ’ several joints. If I were able to stand on my feet today I would be standing on the nails of my toes instead of the lower part of the toes resting on the floor.
When at first I had refused to submit to the “nerve” vaccine injections the doctor flew into a rage and ordered me expelled from the hospital ; and only by submitting to the injections was I allowed to remain. The distance from the hospital to my home was about eight miles over -rural roads.
I am now twenty-one years of age and have spent the last four and one-half years in bed. As there is no hope for me on this earth, I am compelled to spend the rest of my’days in bed. Gone are the best days of my Kfe; gone are tile ;
joys and pleasures; gone is my usefulness, sentenced to a life of suffering and invalidism, to loneliness and misery, all as the result of the doctors' ignorance, deception and Satanic lusts •nd desires—fame, riches, prominence, etc.
Oh, would that the day were here when all mankind will follow the "golden rule” and destroy forever the deceptive works and wiles of Satan!
I hope that you will keep up the good and f noble work that you have so valiantly begun, ' ■ f and that God will guide you and be with you . ‘ in your spreading of truth, justice and enlight-ment throughout the whole world, until the “appointed time” of the Great Redeemer has come. . I also hope that this letter may be the means of saving some future victim from a “living i death” from injections of vaccine. ?
Against Vaccination
A FEW words concerning vaccines and serums, what they do and do not do, based on statistics in my files.
The practice with Government sanction of vaccination and serum treatment has been going on for a long while; indeed, at times under enforcement. It is hoped this will not continue long; for Vaccination has never prevented smallpox any more than serum injection has prevented typhoid, though a well-equipped and financed board of propagandists state to the contrary. The decrease in these diseases is due to better hygiene and sanitation.
Vaccination commenced many years ago, those most influential in its earlier stages being Jenner and Lady Montague. The theory seemed to be that, as cows having a disease known as oowpox, exhibited symptoms resembling smallpox, the scabs of these afflicted cows might be gotten into the blood of humans through a cut or abrasion, rendering the system thereafter immune from smallpox.
Records of those days show that people sickened and died as usual, but there were few diseases and these well recognized. However, since vaccination began, the types of diseases have increased in number and complexity to such an extent as to warrant the assertion that many ef these new forms of disease spring from the vaccination error. The strong ground on which this contention rests is, that the so-called cowpox from which came the earlier virus, was syphilis contracted by the cow from the hand of its milker, previously so afflicted; and that hence in passing the scabs of this scourge into the human’system, it simply means the one so treated has been inoculated with syphilis and will throughout life’s duration manifest symptoms of this disease, eventually perhaps dying

from the so-called smallpox preventive treatment. Even supposing smallpox were prevented by vaccination, the future ills begotten by the practice far outweigh possible immunization.
We have now stated that smallpox is not prevented by vaccination, also that syphilitic taint is implanted at the time of the action of the physician. What proofs are to be exhibited to back up these strong statements against a medical error! A few will be directly given and reference made to a number so great and of such a character as to leave no doubt in the minds of any reasonable person. *
A gentleman once well known, Mr. John Pitcairn, of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, presented some facts in The Ladies Home Journal of May and June, 1910, that have never been contradicted or disproved. For instance the early occupying army of the United States in the Philippines, a most thoroughly vaccinated organization of picked men and officers, showed a smallpox outbreak beginning soon after arrival and continuing until no less than 737 cases were acknowledged by the chief surgeon, with some 261 deaths—a rather heavy rate for supposedly immunized men, many having been vac-" cinated twice or more within fifteen months. To make the case look worse in this report of Chief Surgeon Lippincott, U.S.A., he refers to the fine enforcement of his vaccination crusade, -with the able backing of resident General Otis, who at the time insisted that all soldiers under his command submit to the surgeon.
Dr. J. M. Hodge of Niagara Falls, N.¥., published in the Twentieth Century magazine of September, 1910, a long article giving complete statistics of the failure of vaccination 9s a protective in Japan; further showing that country to be the most vaccinated territory in the world,
with a rating of some 97 percent vaccinated and over 70 percent revaccinated. Yet Japan had T several outbreaks of smallpox in epidemic form e): .with a heavy percent of death.
p Also we have the case of Prof. Buata, of
Perugia, Italy. In the spring of 1912 he was "■J summoned before a high trial board of the < Italian Government charged with refusal to ' .vaccinate and of inciting the public to rebel at the practice of error. The Professor drew the . trial board into a tangle by having them admit that if he proved his declarations against vac-eination, they would free him. After many days he did so and was freed, and commended for showing up the outrageous error.
All this testimony is on file and ready at short notice for exhibition. It is voluminous and com-pletw in that it proves that vaccination does not immunize, and shows its horrible source, with . numerous statements showing the many afflictions upon those vaccinated, their later suffer. ings and often death.
, If what has been written is true, why is vac* ’ cination persisted in and at times under gov-eminent compulsion! A period comes where reason must be brought into play.
It was shown that before vaccination the types of disease were few and well-known; that now they are many and kept in the dark, behind hospital walls, when possible. These ills followed the vaccination error: and by the lay-• man the prominent ones are called consumption,
eczema, cancer, infantile paralysis, secondary’ syphilis and the drying of the mother’s breast so that she may no longer nourish her off spring. - Other diseases there are, but enough have been
named. Watch, for instance, when orders are w /■ given for vaccinating the public, how soon thereafter an epidemic of measles follows. As - long as there is vaccination there will be fre
quent disease afflictions handed out to the human family, calling for treatment and for pay-
„ ■■■ ......j= ! ’
p-ments of money to this syndicate of smallpox immunisis. With improved sanitation and better health-habits of nations, the treatment by -drugs was fast passing; something had to be T, done; hence compulsory vaccination. This would enforce illness on those born to reasonable *
health and make them patients for Big Busi- • ness, furnishing and selling drugs at big profit. It is another case of Big Business summoning the people to the block, filching theirpocket-books, leaving them, if not sick, at least but \ slightly well. '
Is there a remedy! First the population must be educated to the fallacy of the claims of 1 cination and the train of ills it thereafter eon-fers; then organized petition to the United States Government to allow vaccination to those ; foolish enough to desire it but forever to probibit its practice upon those denying its preposterous claims. .
Then, too, we may have confidence in the good ‘ times coming, when God says : “I will overturn, overturn, overturn". Of all the things in a pre*-ent upside condition that need to be overturned and made right, none deserves earlier reepg-nition than this error of vaccination, fathered as it is by the same organization that puts chloride of lime into drinking water. These alto > give serum inoculation to prevent typhoid. Then ; when the patients have typhoid, they call it $ para-typhoid and search for a new serum. j
Listen to these words from one of the great ! European savants, Prof. Chalmette of Paris, i Pasteur Institute, quoted from American of July 31: '’Tuberculosis came with civilization; it । will stay with civilization until defeated by it". ; Again* he says: "Savage races are immune from ' this scourge”, but gives no reason. Let him look and he will see that the ignorant savage has too much sense to be vaccinated and secure as a possible reward, consumption; he leaves his 1 civilized, enlightened brother do that.
Cured by Serums By Mrs. Mary E. Burnet
TH El serpm treatment is rather new, so much so that I have heard some physicians object to serums as being still in the experimental stage.
Some eighteen months ago I wrote telling you how my three children and myself had been cured of whooping-cough and the "flu”, and the baby had been cured of pneumonia, by the tise of serum alone. Our recovery was rapid and complete, with no lingering after-effects whatever. I wish to add that so far from suffering' any evil results from the use of the serum, bur
general health has been improved by it. We Were all disposed to take cold very easily, and no method of "hardening" that we tried did any good, but the serum treatment put an end to that Relieved of the colds which so constantly troubled them the children have gained rapidly in weight and in general health. For myself, life has been a long battle with ill-health, since at the age of six I suffered an attack of typhoidpneumonia. The danger of tuberculosis has been ■a ever-present shadow; but the serum not only ended the colds, but also wiped out the symptoms of incipient tuberculosis. I feel sure that X am free from it for good. Knowing its effects 1*1 my own case, I cannot agree with Mrs. Bur-toootfs view that serums and vaccines fill the Hood with poisons and disease taints. No other treatment is so rapid, so effective; none ever made me feel so thoroughly strengthened and cleansed of disease. It is a destroyer of disease germs in the system.
