An old ad for the anti-vaxxers. How they forget.

Here is a best effort transcription of the ad:

Measles is not so dangerous in itself but is often accompanied by complications that are very serious. It is one of the most highly contagious of diseases and most serious for children from six months to six years of age, and adults. Direct contact is not necessary. It can be contracted by going into the same room with a patient. Keep visitors away, especially those with colds. A child suffering from measles is susceptible to colds and pneumonia because of the violent inflammatory reaction present in the lungs.

If your child complains of light hurting his eyes, and the eyes show redness and puffiness under the lids, keep him home from school and call your doctor. Protect others from contagion by not allowing visitors and keep child in until the doctor advises otherwise.

I'm doing research so I've been going down to the Dept. of Archives and History downtown. The old papers are on microfilm. They get easier to read in the 40's but the 30's and earlier are tough to read. I think some of them had to be ironed before they could be copied. Ugh. The readers at MDAH really suck. They are old and obsolete. Eudora Welty has really nice, brand new digital ones but the newspapers don't start until 1955.

Those anti-vaxxers are perfect morons.

Period.

I noticed from the newspaper that the name of the Chancellor of Ole Miss in 1938 was A.B. Butts.
You simply can't make this stuff up.

From 1912 to 1959 it was a loooooong and difficult journey for Mississippi to be able to stay at Number 48. But manage it, they did.
