A DUTY-- Have you been vaccinated? If not,it is your duty to yourself, your family, and the public at large to be vaccinated at once. Vaccination has been proven effective. No person who has been properly vaccinated need fear small pox. Go to your physician NOW and be vaccinated, if you have not been within the past few years. If he uses fresh vaccine from Anderson’s Central Drug Store, there is absolutely no danger. Protect yourself, your family, and your town.
