It has, or had, a curious look of intelligence. You must remember that when I saw it, it was only a few months old. But even then it conveyed in some inexplicable way a sense of power. Every one felt it. There was Harvey Walters, for instance he vaccinated it; I made him confess that the child made him feel like a school-boy. Only, you understand, it had not spoken then "
Around and around on the board spun the top, looking like a pinwheel on the night before Fourth of July, and Curly's sore arm began to feel better all at once. Then Flop started to run down in the yard to play hop scotch with Peetie and Jackie Bow Wow, the puppy dogs, and Curly said: "Some day, Flop, when you've been vaccinated, I'll get you a top to amuse you."
"No; I have full trust in human means, and above all, in what I need not speak of. Still, precautions are wise. Do you remember that day when, rather against Ursula's wish, I vaccinated the children?" I remembered. Also that the virus had taken effect with all but Muriel; and we had lately talked of repeating the much-blamed and miraculous experiment upon her. I hinted this.
"I never had the smallpox. Have you been vaccinated?" "Yes, I believe so I'm sure I don't know. But people sometimes take the smallpox even after they have been vaccinated. I should be so frightened that I could do no good." "Then," said the doctor, gravely, "you have decided to leave your husband?" "Yes, doctor, I must. It is my duty to my boy," answered Mrs.
'Your little carrot is all right, said Bloomah testily. 'They've only vaccinated her. The woman caught at the only word she understood. 'Vaccinate, vaccinate! she repeated. Then, relapsing into jargon and raising her hands heavenward: 'A sudden death upon them all! Bloomah turned despairingly in search of a wigless woman. One stood at her elbow.
'It is all right they are engaged, with Mr. Warren's full approval, she exclaimed. 'Were we on the stage, I should embrace you! exclaimed Merton rapturously. 'We are not on the stage, replied Miss Martin demurely. 'And I have no occasion to congratulate myself. My plot did not come off; never had a look in. Do you want to be vaccinated?
I would teach him all those things I now do not know myself where the homeless man can find a night's lodging; how to get a disorderly person arrested; why bottled milk costs fifteen cents a quart; how one gets his name on the ballot if he wants to run for alderman; where the Health Department is located, and how to get vaccinated for nothing.
With a realization that the medical equipment of the British Army was complete; that it had been sent into the field free of communicable diseases; that it had been vaccinated and inoculated against two of the most dreaded diseases, smallpox and typhoid fever, and that every reinforcement subsequently sent out had been carefully freed from suspicious cases of disease, it can be readily understood that the British Army began under auspicious circumstances, and that thereafter its freedom from contagious disease depended to a great extent on the preventive measures adopted.
'Really, said Merton, 'I do not quite understand your interest in a matter so purely personal. 'Personal, sir? Not at all. It is the first of public duties the debt that every man, woman, and child owes to his or her country. Have you been vaccinated, sir? 'Why, if you insist on knowing, said Merton, 'I have, though I do not see 'Recently? asked the visitor.
If the Vaccination Acts, instead of being wholly repealed as they are already half repealed, were strengthened by compelling every parent to have his child vaccinated by a public officer whose salary was completely independent of the number of vaccinations performed by him, and for whom there was plenty of alternative public health work waiting, vaccination would be dead in two years, as the vaccinator would not only not gain by it, but would lose credit through the depressing effects on the vital statistics of his district of the illness and deaths it causes, whilst it would take from him all the credit of that freedom from smallpox which is the result of good sanitary administration and vigilant prevention of infection.
