Dr. A. R. Wallace on the Strenuous Policy
(S605: 1903)

Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: A letter to the Editor printed on page 49 of the 1 June 1903 issue of The Vaccination Inquirer. To link directly to this page, connect with: http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/wallace/S605.htm

To the Editor of "The Vaccination Inquirer."

Dear Sir,--I write a line just to say how very much pleased I am with your advocacy of strenuousness. It is above all other things what we most want. We want a strenuous man in Parliament especially, to show up all the fallacies of the official advocates of vaccination.

I send you a tract recently received, which puts the absurdity of the "danger to the community" theory better and stronger than I have ever seen it put.--Yours truly,

Alfred R. Wallace.
Broadstone, Dorset, May 10th, 1903.

The tract referred to, and kindly sent to us by Dr. Russel Wallace, is by a Harvard University man, and doctor of medicine, Dr. Charles K. Wheeler. It is entitled "The Outrage of Compulsory Vaccination, or a plea for personal liberty." . . . [[followed by some quoted passages from the work]]
