The antl-vaccination school declare that we have continued that pest by a kind of hot house cultivation.

In other words vaccination has become an institution, a pet one of the doctors and to assail it brings down on one the charge of being a crank, a long-haired fanatic, etc It is said that the celebrated Dr. Thompson, founder of a school so named, treated smallpox with unvarying success by the useof Brewers' yeast-a tablespoonful stirred up in a glass of water every few minutes having the effect to abort the disease and render it non-communicable.

Mary Freas, who Bued Orr Bailiff for slander, has been given a verdict of 500 by a ury in the district court. The trouble between these prrties, as shown by the evidence, was that Mrs. Freas was in the habit of treating a little girl whom she had adopted in a shameful manner.
