text: The following extract from an article by Keki R. Sidhwa from Heath for All, "The Scare Diseases , May 1965.
  For years Dr. Matthew J. Rodermund, MD of Wisconsin, USA, offered $10,000 to anyone who could prove scientifically that smallpox is contagious. Nobody ever claimed the money.
  Dr Charles A.A. Campbell, MD of San Antonio, USA, who was for years in charge of an isolation hospital made exhaustive experiments in order to demonstrate that smallpox is contagious, but found that this is not the case. He even succeeded in persuading the mayor of San Antonio and the city council to go to the hospital and mingle with the patients and have a meal with them. The Bexar County Medical Society, before whom he read a paper detailing his experiments and his conclusions, refused to publish his findings. He later published them in his book, Bats,Mosquitoes and Dollars. Dr. Rodermund was even more daring, he broke open the smallpox puscules, rubbed the pus on his face and hands and moved about freely for three or four days,, deliberately neglecting to wash himself. No smallpox outbreak occurred.
  The famous Dr. Sydenham, of England, called smallpox the most safe and slight of all diseases as long as no mischief be done by either physician or nurse, which is significant indeed. In olden days people died not of smallpox but of the treatment that was given to them.
  Does vaccination prevent smallpox? Anyone who has made a thorough study of the subject will in all honesty have to admit that it does not. In India, even today, when over 90 per cent of the population are said to have been vaccinated, thousands are dying of what is diagnosed as smallpox in spite of - or because of - the compulsory injections. Major Reginald F. E. Austin (R.A.M.C.), who served in India in a medical capacity, was greatly in favour of hygienic living, cleanliness, and sanitation rather than vaccination, and he said so in so many words. He poo-pooed the whole vaccination programme as a diabolical disaster.
  Dr. Henry Blumberg, the medical superintendent of Southport Childrens Sanatorium, speaking before the Royal Commission on Vaccination, described smallpox as most innocent and least dangerous, and he spoke against vaccination.
  When we turn to tetanus - and other of the scare diseases - we find Dr. I. A. Toomey, MD of Cleveland, Ohio, USA, saying in the Journal of the American Medical Association, May, 1942, that drainage, cleanliness and proper incision of wounds were of greater importance than the anti-toxins administered. In 1940, the Surgeon-General of the American Army sent a letter to Congress requesting a change in the manner of treating tetanus in soldiers. He rightly stressed the fatal effects due to anaphylaxis resulting from the administration of anti-toxin, and claimed that better results were achieved by ensuring cleanliness and the proper drainage of wounds.
  What applies to smallpox and tetanus applies to all the other scare diseases. In typhoid and cholera more people are killed by wrong treatment, i.e., feeding and drugging the patients, than by the disease itself. The writer knows many people who have suffered from quinine poisoning - the after effects of the deadly cinchina. bark remedy for malaria. The list could be multiplied.
  What, then, is the nature cure approach to these so-called scare diseases? In brief the answer is the same as that which applies to to all problems of ill-health. Health/high-level health alone will safeguard you against coronary thrombosis, typhoid, cholera, etc.

  NEW YORK, March 30 -- Scholastic Inc., the global children's publishing and media company, announced today that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will have a U.S. record-breaking first printing of 10.8 million copies, and a multi-million dollar marketing campaign to support the highly anticipated release at midnight on July 16th. The comprehensive marketing plan for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which officially kicks-off on April 7th marking the "100 Day Countdown to Harry," includes: a multi-tiered national advertising campaign; a first-time ever Harry Potter crossword puzzle in The New York Times; online activities and downloadables; promotional giveaways; and midnight parties at retail locations across the country. In making the announcement of the unprecedented first printing, Barbara Marcus, President of Scholastic Children's Books, said: "We have worked very closely with all of our accounts to anticipate the level of demand for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Once again, we are hearing from our accounts that the pre-orders are phenomenal and, taking into account Harry Potter's record-breaking history, we are doing our best to make sure that Harry Potter fans nationwide can get their copies on July 16th." The national advertising components of Scholastic's marketing campaign for the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, based on the theme: "Who Will Be the Half-Blood Prince?" will appear as video spots on airplanes and electronic billboards, as national radio spots, online, and in print media nationwide. A unique crossword puzzle entirely devoted to Harry Potter - a first time ever component of a children's book marketing campaign - will run in The New York Times on Sunday, July 10th reaching 3.5 million readers. Also in July, approximately 50,000 domestic flights on Continental Airlines and American Airlines will feature 30-second and one-minute video ads. Beginning with the midnight release and continuing through July 23rd, Harry Potter will once again command the Times Square Billboard in New York City with special 5 minute promotional spots at midnight followed by 15-second spots every hour that week for a total of 10 million impressions. In addition, Scholastic will run national radio spots and Google banner ads. National retail promotions are already underway with the launch of the "While You are Waiting for Harry Potter" countdown campaign. In March, retailers nationwide received oversized bookmarks and brochures featuring Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on one side while the other side features Scholastic fantasy titles to read while fans are waiting for the new Harry Potter. In May, Scholastic will ship 40,000 Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince five foot tall countdown clock standees to retailers across the country, as well as 5.5 million lightening-bolt temporary tattoos to hand out to fans at their midnight parties.

The site will also include a Shrieking Shack poll which invites fans to vote for "Who Will be the Half-Blood Prince?" in addition to a downloadable Harry Potter poster. The site will also provide on-going interactive activities including crossword puzzles, word scrambles and trivia questions. As the countdown continues, the Scholastic Web site will provide an online guide to midnight parties, which will list various retailer's midnight parties nationwide organized by zip code, city and state so fans can search for a celebratory party to attend in their community.
