It has long been speculated that an increase in the cases of autism in children is a direct result of mercury in childhood vaccinations.

If you go to our shelves, under the number 616.8588, you will find many books dealing with autism. The increase in demands on our collection on the subject would appear to back up the claims of increasing cases of autism!
