I desire to be understood as seeking nothing but the common good of humanity. In the pages that follow I have attempted to write without bias as far as is humanly possible. Only established facts are presented; extravagant statements have been avoided; in no single instance has a quotation been made from an anti-vaccination source. I have felt that my case is so strong that I could afford to be generous in my arguments. The reader is invited to go over the facts as presented and draw his own conclusions as to the accuracy of the deductions made. JAMES A. LOYSTER. Cazenovia, N. Y., Jan. 5, 1915. _Note_.
