Lewis Mack, a young man aged about 25 years who was vaccinated on August 25 is at the point of death at his boardinghouse home, corner of Pound and Washington streets, Bristol. Mack was employed in the wool room at Grundy's Mill and although he had a very sore arm as a result of the vaccination, he worked in unwashed wool in a sleeveless undershirt leaving the affect arm exposed to all the danger which could naturally arise in carrying the dirty wool from store bins to washing machines. In September 13 tetanus or lockjaw developed and since that time the victim has been subjected to all the ills of that dreadful malady. During all of the present week he has had convulsions, and no hope is entertained for his recovery. Dr. Weaver, who is attending the patient, has done everything possible to combat with medical science the ravages being wrought by tetanus germs. Mack is the son of Mrs. Sarah Heitzman, at whose boarding house smallpox broke out a few weeks ago.

LOCKJAW NOT SMALLPOX
Bristol Man did not die from dread malady. The funeral of Lewis Mack, who died Sunday at his home in Bristol, was held yesterday afternoon with interment in Riverview Cemetery, this city. It has been erroneously stated that the man died of smallpox after an illness of about a week. This is denied by the relatives of the deceased who maintain that lock-jaw resulting from vaccination caused death.
The casket was opened in the cemetery yesterday so that the corpse could be viewed by the Trenton relatives of Mr. Mack who were unable to go to Bristol. This would not have been done had smallpox been the ailment.
