A poster from the Yorkshire Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League
On the left is a poster issued by the Keighley branch of the Yorkshire Anti-Compulsory Vaccination League. Its purpose to prevent people from having what to them, were free vaccinations. As Keighley Secretary, Albert was probably responsible for its publication.

On the right is the wording of the poster.

To be gulled means to be easily fooled.

The 1/6 in the poster means one shilling and six pence, which was pre-decimal British currency. It is equivalent to 7.5 decimal pence.

WILL YOU BE GULLED AND PAY FOR IT!
We ask this question because, egged on by interested Public Vaccinators your panic-stricken Guardians have been at the cost of "Billing" the Village, urging the people to be vaccinated and re-vaccinated.
It is pretended that the operation is performed for FREE,- for nothing.
IT IS GULLERY!
The bills, posting of them, payment of the Public Vaccinator and Vaccination Officer, all come out of your pocket (through the Poor Rate), and what do they give you for it? Protection from Smallpox? NO.
There have been 3,000 cases in the well-vacinated Sheffield, and NONE in the unvaccinated Keighley.
DON'T BE GULLED
Public Vaccinators want to increase their business, they know the way to do so is to advertise, but advertising costs money, so to save their pockets they GULL your foolish Guardians (unlike those Keighley Guardians who went to York Castle to defend and secure their liberties,) into spending your hard earned money to push THEIR business.
Everyone who gets Vaccinated means 1/6 into a Public Vaccinators pocket, out of yours, besides a fee on each case for the Vaccination Officer, again out of yours.
Dont't be frightened against your will into being re-vaccinated, there is no law to force you, some may try to persuade you otherwise.
REMEMBER they do it for money.
DON'T BE DONE!
