			<title><![CDATA[The Compulsory Vaccination Act]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Illustrated Police News 3 July 1886: COMPULSORY VACCINATION ACT
The large engraving in the centre of our front page has been re-drawn from a small design printed on the envelope used by the London Society for the abolition of Compulsory Vaccination. Without doubt there are thousands of persons who oppose the Vaccination Act by every possible means in their power. We are in receipt of a number of letters upon this vexed question. Mr Tebb, President of the London Society says:-- “The Preventive we offer as a substitute for vaccination is personal and municipal cleanliness. By that I mean an abundant and continuous supply of pure water, an efficient system of drainage, the prevention of overcrowding, the erection of healthy and well-ventilated dwellings, the multiplication of public baths, wash-houses, and open spaces.” All this is very excellent in its way, but it is not a safeguard against the ravages of smallpox. The old question “Who shall decide when doctors disagree?” is never more apposite or more perplexing than when put in connection with the very practical and very vital subject on which people have disagreed for a century past and disagree still often most acrimoniously.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[A Foolhardy Feat]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Illustrated Police News, 21 September 1895
One of the most terrible occurrences recorded in menagerie annals of recent years has taken place in the wild beastshow owned by Castanet and Pezon of Paris... A man named Léon Eyssete, twenty four years old and employed in the Perrache station as a porter, conceived the idea of having himself photographed in the central cage of the show... He accordingly entered the cage in the morning, about six o' clock, without the permission or knowledge of MM. Castanet and Pezon. He has had to pay with his life for his strange and imprudent freak. The central cage was empty, but near it was another, in which Romulus, the biggest lion in the collection, was sleeping. While the photographer was adjusting his apparatus the railway porter went over to Romulus, and after having called and excited the animal unbolted the bars of the cage. The lion flew at the man like a flash of lightning, as the horror-stricken photographer described it. In an instant the porter's head was crunched between the jaws of the enraged animal, who then dragged the dead body to a corner of the central cage...
At last Lucas, the leading lion tamer, who had been sent for, arrived. He succeeded in driving Romulus into the smaller cage, and Eysette's body, or what was left of it, was removed.

			<title><![CDATA[Burglar Bitten by a Skeleton]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[Illustrated Police News 27 June 1874: 

A “skeleton in the closet” is not generally considered a pleasant thing to have, but a recent occurrence in Greensburg, America, shows that it make sometimes answer a good purpose. We learn from the Philadelphia Medical Times that a burglar broke into a physician’s office in that town, and opening a closet (while his companion with a dark lantern was in another part of the room), got his hands between the jaws of a skeleton, which being adjusted with a coil spring and kept open with a thread, closed suddenly on the intruding hand by the breaking of the thread. Startled at being thus seized, he uttered a faint shriek, and when his companion turned the lantern towards him, and he beheld himself in the grim and ghastly jaws of Death himself, he became so overpowered by fear that he fainted; and fell insensible to the floor, pulling the skeleton down upon him, and making so much noise that his companion fled immediately. The doctor, alarmed at the noise and confusion, hastened into the room, and secured the terror-stricken burglar; still held by the skeleton. Burglars who may have a design upon the tranquillity or incumbrances of any of our households will take warning by the unhappy fate which befel one of the “comrades in arms” in a doctor’s study at the other side of the Atlantic.]]></description>
