Petition to the President, Commander-in-chief of Army and Navy, to abolish Compulsory Vaccination and pardon all men condemned by court-martial for refusing vaccination[3]
Death of George Washington from Medical Malpractice in 1799 a warning against Modern Malpractice[5]
Compulsory Vaccination greatest malpractice of to-day, kills many persons[6]
Vaccination most dangerous and repulsive remedy ever devised, is a form of blood poisoning with an inflicted disease and is often more deadly than natural disease[7]
Compulsory vaccination as a condition for Public Schooling, or admission to Army and Navy, medically and legally wrong and should be abolished[11]
Doctors of Various Schools of Medicine should be represented on all medical and health boards[11]
Imprisonment for refusing vaccination in Army and Navy condemned as “cruel and unusual punishment” forbidden by Constitution[12]
Military obedience to bad law commended. The great example of Socrates cited[15]
The President quoted in asserting the rights and dignities of soldiers and condemning military despotism and “Medical Hoggery”[17]
Compulsory vaccination not necessary and not effective for health of armies or populations. Examples cited. Failure of vaccination in U. S. Army[18]
Vaccination not compulsory in English Army[19]
Medical authorities admit dangers of vaccination and condemn compulsion. Sanitation superior to vaccination. The sanitary unvaccinated City of Leicester, England, cited[20-22]
Deaths from vaccination greater than deaths from smallpox. Statistics given[23]
Great epidemics of deadly disease in animals and man caused by vaccination[25]
Grave nature of recent epidemic of Influenza and Pneumonia and possible relation of vaccination thereto[26]
Vaccine factories a possible and proved source of epidemics and should be investigated by Congress and the Government[30]
Epidemics and high death-rates in the Army probably caused by wholesale and repeated vaccinations. Death-rate of Army from disease much greater than that of civil population[31]
Wonderful work of the Army and Navy Departments in the late war gratefully acknowledged and commended[34]
Compulsory vaccination condemned as un-American and a violation of our great American Charters of Rights and Liberties, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution[35]
The Declaration and Constitution carefully analyzed as to the unalienable American right of Medical Freedom[35]
The Declaration further analyzed and commended as a complete creed of essential Americanism in one paragraph and a brief code of Basic Ethics, Civic Religion and Democratic Government, which should be emblazoned on all public places and buildings as the basis of Americanism[37]
Plato’s Golden Rule and the Declaration of Rights compared[41]
Unalienable Rights Analyzed and Defined. Medical Freedom an unalienable American Right[42-45]
Compulsory vaccination condemned by our Courts as unconstitutional. Decisions cited[45]
The Supreme Court of the U. S. on the preëminent rights of the individual[47]
Unalienable rights of the individual versus rights of majorities. False idea of the supremacy of majorities scored[50]
Medical Freedom and Alimentary Freedom equally unalienable rights of the People and necessary for Life, Liberty and Happiness[51]
Medical Freedom equally necessary as Religious Freedom[52]
Medical Despotism of to-day worse than the old religious despotism of the past. The medical fanaticism of to-day, “Let us spread disease so that health may abound,” scored and compared to the old religious heresy, “Let us sin so that grace may abound”[52]
Awful record of Japan in vaccination and smallpox and in epidemic disease spread by vaccination. Japanese virus causes epidemics of Cattle Plague in the United States in man and animals[53-55]
Medical Freedom necessary for Medical Progress, Medical Truth and Human Safety[56]
Medical Domination and Compulsion most dangerous power in body politic and must be suppressed[60]
The gigantic medical and vaccine interests supporting compulsory vaccination a menace to public right and safety and should be curbed[61]
Deaths and disasters from vaccination are frequently denied and concealed by vaccinating doctors now controlling our Departments of Health and Vital Statistics[63]
Able laymen, or sanitary engineers, and life insurance statisticians, having no interest or bias to conceal medical mistakes or disasters, should be placed at the head of all our Departments of Health and Vital Statistics with great advantage to public right and medical truth[63-64]
Proposed National Board of Health controlled by doctors of one dominant school of medicine condemned[64]
Medical Ethics of different schools compared and criticized. The “beam” versus the “mote.” The Medical Pharisee exposed and condemned[65]
Propagation and infliction of disease a medical crime[68]
Removal of the great ethical disgrace of the medical profession—compulsory medicine and inflicted disease[68]
Recapitulation. Reforms suggested[69]
Conclusion. The President’s words condemning unjust, arbitrary and coercive forces in the body politic[70]

Pictorial Supplement Exposing and Illustrating Horrors of Vaccination[77]
How vaccine virus is made and how cattle and mankind are diseased and killed by it[79]
What vaccination truly is and how pus infection, lockjaw and other diseases work together in vaccination with fatal effect[82]
The typical normal vaccination sore or pustule, a form of blood poisoning or septicemic infection, pure and simple[83]
Abnormal and dangerous forms of vaccination illustrated[84-85]
Fatal form of “Generalized Vaccination” in a baby girl where the eruption spreads all over the body, like confluent smallpox, and quickly kills[87]
Severe type of vaccination in a little child where the inflammation and eruption extend from the sore over part of the body and endanger life by general infection[88]
How vaccinating doctors deny and conceal, and falsely excuse, frequent deaths from vaccination[89]
Dangerous nature of Vaccine Virus. Various diseases found in or caused by it[90]
Epidemic cattle plagues, known as “Foot and Mouth Disease,” caused by vaccination in animals and mankind in 1902 and 1908, with great destruction of cattle and injury to mankind[92-101]
Photographs of cattle suffering from Foot and Mouth Disease, caused by vaccination in epidemic of 1902[93-95]

Great loss and damage caused by these vaccine epidemics to the government and people of the U. S. A big price to pay for vaccination[102]
Epidemics of smallpox probably caused by vaccination and Foot and Mouth Disease. Foot and Mouth Disease probably a form of Variola or Mongrel Smallpox[102]
Cattle plagues of Foot and Mouth Disease very common in much vaccinated countries like Germany and Japan and probably caused by vaccine infection same as in the U. S.[103]
How lockjaw is caused by vaccination and how this truth is denied and concealed by vaccinators[104]
Lockjaw may be caused by vaccination whether germs are in the virus or not. False arguments in defense of vaccination exposed and shattered[105]
“Assassination of the Blood” by forced vaccination must be stopped[106]
Positive proof that vaccination and lockjaw are more “risky” and deadly than natural smallpox. Convincing statistical figures given[107]

Another case of same typical disease caused by vaccination, reported in U. S. Naval records[122]
An English case of the same typical disease in a vaccinated baby, giving cumulative proof of the responsibility of vaccination for this fearful and fatal disease[123]
Most important medical fact now exposed here. Identity of Virulent Vaccination with “Foot and Mouth Disease”! Called also “Pemphigus,” “Generalized Vaccination,” or “Virulent Cowpox,” but all common forms and variations of the same typical vaccinal disease or Mongrel Smallpox[125]
Vaccination is “doctored” smallpox, assumes many forms and is often worse than natural smallpox[127]
Proof that vaccination causes Mongrel Smallpox and Foot and Mouth disease and that the nature of the vaccinal eruptions demonstrates this relation and causation[129]

Vaccination as the exciting cause of death from lockjaw, septicemia, meningitis, and infantile paralysis, shown in several cases in Mr. Loyster’s pamphlet[149-160]
A cry for help! Harrowing personal letters from victims of vaccination and from parents of outraged school children. Mutilation and death, caused by compulsory vaccination, denounced and reform demanded. Many fatal cases cited[163]
Proposed law to compensate parents for children deformed, disabled or killed by compulsory vaccination forced on them by an unwise and evil law[169]
Shocking and common medical mendacity on the alleged harmlessness of vaccination[169]
The “Philippine Falsehood” scored. Alleged “millions” vaccinated without any injury or death shown to be false and absurd[170]

The false glory of Jenner and the disgrace of the medical profession in the shamefully false claims on which vaccination has been forced upon the people since its origin[191]
What protects us from smallpox in modern times? Is it vaccination or something else? A false claim exploded. Superior power of sanitation, isolation and hygiene in preventing smallpox and other diseases demonstrated[192]
The unsanitary conditions of Jenner’s day exposed. Power of sanitation to extinguish smallpox admitted by Jenner’s chief assistant in 1815[195]
Further proof from the English Minister of Health that sanitation prevents smallpox more than vaccination. Poorly vaccinated London more healthy than much-vaccinated Berlin[198]
Limited and voluntary vaccination only, suggested and approved. Forced vaccination of school children condemned and its absurdity and needlessness proved[200]
Absurdity of compulsory vaccination of children of school age, who have the highest natural immunity and vitality, and lowest death-rate of any part of the population, and have least need of vaccination[201]
Proof that vaccination is a poor protection from disease. Flagrant and frequent failure to protect from smallpox or typhoid fever. Many typical instances of these failures, at home and abroad, shown[202]

Summing up. The case proved in seven cardinal points[211]
Conclusion. Great danger of vaccination to health and life proved, which fact, when it once enters the public conscience, will soon result in the abolition of all compulsory vaccination as being an infliction of deadly disease and a gross violation of the most sacred rights of the people to Medical Freedom, Health and Life [212]

INTRODUCTION

THIS little book on the Horrors of Compulsory Vaccination, its medical barbarism, and its moral and legal atrocity as a gross violation of Basic Personal and Broad American Rights, is dedicated and addressed to our esteemed President, Woodrow Wilson, for several decisive reasons:

First: Because I believe him to be the most potent personality in public office to-day and our greatest present representative and exponent of Fundamental American Principles and Basic Human Rights, and as being now recognized as a world-wide exponent of these principles both at home and abroad.

Second: Because the President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy and is thus invested with supreme commanding and pardoning power, through which he can bring about an immediate reform in the evil practice of compulsory vaccination by pardoning, at his discretion, all men in the Army or Navy now unjustly condemned by Court Martial for refusing vaccination, and by abolishing all compulsion and making all vaccination free and voluntary, as it now is in the English Army.

Third: Because the President is our highest civilian officer and represents in his person and office one of our most important American principles, the supremacy of the civil over the military power. It therefore seemed to me most fit and proper to appeal to our chief civilian officer on any great question which concerns the most fundamental civil rights of the citizen or involves any great abuse of military power, as is the case with this evil practice of compulsory vaccination. And I think it will be readily admitted that medical militarism, such as the arbitrary medical compulsion which forces and inflicts disease upon the human body, under the fallacy of medical necessity and the pressure of military law, is surely one of the most dangerous and oppressive forms of extreme militarism that can be conceived and is not in accordance with the spirit of American Institutions, and should be suppressed. While, therefore, I, as a student of this subject, may earnestly and persistently write and urge, and demonstrate the truth on this subject, and prove by undeniable fact, exhibit, and argument the dangerous nature of compulsory vaccination and the shocking falsehoods on which it is based as to its alleged efficacy, necessity and harmlessness, yet I have not the least power or discretion to remove this evil; whereas the power of the President in this matter is plenary, instant and complete, so that in almost the twinkling of an eye he can abolish this evil in the Army and Navy with one word from his lips or one wave of his hand. And if this evil is once abolished in the Army and Navy, its abolishment everywhere else throughout the land is sure to follow, with great advantage to human right and much improvement in public health, as has resulted wherever this medical malpractice of inoculation with inflicted disease has been reduced or abolished, with a corresponding increase in sanitation and hygiene.
