ON THE JUNE-POX. “ Whatever is generally useful shoullt generally known” GREAT and important innovations, whether m political, theological, or med ical lcience, have ltldom or never failed to awaken the attention of mankind, and for a time at lenft to have both votaries and opponents. Few changes of magni tude in political ccconomy have beta a dopted without fotnc previous if not ma ture investigation, tor it is by being fairlv canvatfed that their propriety or fafeiy has been difeovered ; —their rrerit or de merit folly evinced. And few difeoveries in medicine that have intereffed the peo ple at large, have been famftioried even liy the faculty, upon the mere ipfe dixit of an individual however refpeftable his au thority. Fasts founded upon observa tions made with accuracy and judgement, with experiments fairly and impartially conducted, are the heft criteria to enable ns to judge of the ulelulnefs of any dif eovery. Tlie irifrotiitflion of the small-pox into England from Turkey in the commence ment of the last century, was under many difadvantagrous circum fiances, and it formed a most important era in the hif tory of medic ine. Though millions are indebted to the enlightened Mrs. Mon tague, for the preservation of their lives, her humane efforts to bring the inocula tion into notice were much impeded, and though long before it was generally adop ted, it was much longer before it arrived at its present improved date. Even in the milder form of inoculation it was not Ipeedily rid of its terrors, for tedious con finement, annihilation of bta ty, and death too often marked its melancholy way. M~ny—many have been its v iflims, and it has been justly ranked with the Icourges of afiliified humanity. The wile fnbfK* tion of the cold for the hot mode of treat ment rendered it much less fatal, and much le(s to be feared :—yet who is there that dres-nof know, that, even under the combined advantages of experience, (kill, and care, its progress is generally accom paned by the most direful apprehensions; its track marked by the most wof.il rava ges ? Viewed as an evil, it has in other places as well as in Georgia, become an objeft of legifiation, and law-, ordinances and edicts have been framed to prevent its introduction and fprrading. As being foreign from my fubjeft I will net here difeant upon their impolicy, but will merely observe that it would not be difficult to prove it by inconteftible arguments, and that their evil tendency has not been any where counterbalanced by beneficial effects. They have a ten dency to create improper impMfions up on the minds of the people with refpeft to the real nature of the dil’orhcr, and the tre pidation which is produced by it would be prevented by a more familiar acquain tance with it. Among the many ineftiniable improve ments which have been made during the eighteenth century in the various depart ments of feience, and in no one more than that of medicine, and ihe auxiliary branches of philosophy—the difeovery of the vaccine disease justly claims a pre eminent station. - But a few years has brought to light from the dark womb of time an heretofore hidden law of nature, that the small-pox might be prevented by the substitution of a dilrale which in mildness bears no com panion with the severity of the former. The firft dawn of this fall produced in the mind of the fortunate and immortal Jer.uer the most pleasing and anxious hopes—The infancy of the difeovery was an interfiling period in his mind. A concurrence of fortuitous circumstances iufpired him with a belief of what has filice been so amply verified—Elated by the fair profprft be hafttned to institute experimentr,.md in their eventual fucccfs, how pleasing—how gratifying must have been his emotions ! How mnch more en viable his sensations than those of a con queror over a flaughtcred memy, or the triumphant feelings of a fuccefsful inva der of a country’s right ! His were such as spring from a conscious sense of having rendered an eflential service to mankind. That he has it cannot be denied ; and not only the present generation, but millions yet unborn should pour forth their orizons to him as their signal benefaflor. Are any yet so warped by prejudice as to be unwilling to give credence to the efficacy of the kine-pock in securing the confu tation against the small-pox ? Can any one in justice refufe to him the palm of honor, and to acknowledge w ith gratitude [Half in Mvanct-
