N.B.—These are samples only, and in every- case the sufferer was previously healthy. Hundreds of deaths result from Vaccination, but in the absence of funds, whilst every effort is made to conceal the mischief, the difficulty of obtaining the facts is great. A fair and efficient Government inquiry would discover thousands of such injuries, as proved by the Parliamentary Returns, No. 433., /77; 76, 1/80; 392, 2180; 50, /77; and 385, /82.

303 | 1882 | Norwich | Crowe | 31 oct | Sores, black convulsed | 11 Dec

304 | 1881882 | " | Jennings | 31oct | "Vaccination" &c | 18 aug
305 | 1882 | " | Smith | Infant | Well before. "Diarrhoea". Never well after | 4 weeks after

As one of numerous wholesale disasters abroad may be mentioned the following:-

306 | 1880 | Algiers | 58 soldiers | ..30 dec | From one infant vaccinifer; all syphilised without exception. Others vaccinated from a different child presented no special incident... |

> > N.B.—It must not be supposed that all cases known to the compiler are included in this table; e.g., an ex-Cabinet Minister lost an infant fourteen days after Vaccination, certified "Convusions." The known injuries to infants not here recorded are LEGION. All quotations given are from medical men or verdicts of juries; many of these are certificates, some of which evidently suppress the truth to "save Vaccination from reproach."

> > That the authorities may be kept posted up in the effects of their imbecility and folly (which is the best excuse which can be offered for their cumulative offences), all sufferers are urged to communicate the facts and dates to the London Society for the Abolition of Compulsory Vaccination, 114, Victoria-street, Westminster, S.W.
