BY publishing the following fa&s on the superior ad
vantages which the Kine Pox Inoculation has over
the Variolous, the inhabitants of this state will doubtless
ensure to themselves the blessings of this invaluable dis
covery, by adopting the new inoculation with confidence,
and the serious evils that have resulted from the Smallpox
will hereafter be avoided. The sources of error which have
been committed in this new practice have, as Dr. Water
house justly observes, taken their origin, ist, from mis
taking the proper time for taking the fluid; and, 2dly,
from not noting the characteristic progress of the disease
on the part inoculated. T?:e fluid should never be taken
after the efflorescence has come on.
By letters from Virginia 1 learn that the vaccine inocu
lation is becoming more and more general in that state.
The President ‘ct the example, and, after having his fa
ir-: , inoculated with le cow pox, they afterwards were

JAMES EWELL.
Sa.vaiviaii it, 1802.
To Dr. Bradley, from Dr. Charles Cooee, Glou
cester, May 29, 1800.
lf I had waited for the present increasing numbers of
impartial testimonies, and indubitable fa&s, in favor of
vaccine inoculation,. I need not have troubled you to in
sert this letter in your useful publication; but as, in the
cutset, I did (with more zeal than prudence) oppose what
I then considered an innovation in pra&ice, (by confounding
the uncertain effe&s of the advantages evidently arising
from this disease when inoculated) I now think it right, in
justice to Dr. Jennev .and the medical public, to declare,
that, in the course of my pra&ice, I had occasion to make
trial, and do approve of vaccine, inoculation; yet I think
it should, be condu&ed by pra&itioners who have taken
proper care to ascertain the genuine disease.”
From Dr. Lettsom of London, to Dr. Baxto* of
Philadelphia.
“ Vaccine inoculation is becoming more and more ge
neral in England; and on the European continent about
16,000 have had the disease, if disease it can be termed,
without any case of fatality; and about 5.009 have been
inoculated again with the common smallpox without con
veying any disease; so that probably soon no other than
the cow pox will be adopted here. I imagine a fatal case
will never occur, as there is rarely more ,than one pus
tule.” ‘’ ,
From Dr. Hxkrt Jenxex’s Address to the Public.
“ Thus spontaneous, respedtable, and unequivocal, are
the testimonials which have from time to time appeared
before the European .public favoring the Jenqerian do&rirte;
and so forcibly and abundant are the evidences in confirm
ation of the most favorable reports of the kine pox inocu
lation as lias seemingly precluded doubt and bid defiance
to skepticism; even prejudice stands abashed, and deter
mined opposition has softened into what is termed pruden
tial caution. . What more can be done or said than has
been to produce a general convi&ion of the utility of the
kine pox inoculation, in that it is a pcrftH security a
gainst any after infection from the smallpox? and when
once this fa& is acceded to as indisputable, what reason
able being will hesitate a moment in giving it the prefer
ence to the inoculated smallpox as a security against a
casual infe&ion? Its comparative advantages are certainly
very great and striking:
Smallpox,
Very, frequently calls lat
ent diseases into a&ion; in
these are included the vari
ous species of fcrofula.
Is contagious and com
municable by effluvia.
Cannot be communicated
with safety to children when
cutting teeth.
In sickening with the
smallpox children are fre
quently afflicted with alarm
ing fits; and when their con
stitutions are delicate they
suffer materially in tbeif
health during life.
Is often fatal.
Is attended with erupti
ons, and very often disfi
gures the countenance.
Persons afflicted with this
disease cannot mingle with
those who have never been
afflicted by it.
Medicines are necessary
to be administered.
Notwithstanding the pre
sent improved state of ino
culation parents and friends
must feel a considerable de
gree of anxiety for the safety
t‘ relatives, Sec.
Requires a nurse.
“"1 above comparison of the advantages which ace
to be derived from the substitution of the vaccine disease
for the smallpox is founded upon principles which experi
tfnce- has proved to be Sxod upon the solid basis of truth*”
Cow Pox,
We may safely conclude,
from a long and careful ob
servation of this .disease, as
communicated from the Cow,
and from no limited experi
ence in its inoculation, that
it excites no disposition to
other complaints.
Numerous experiments
testify that this never hap
pens in the cow pox.
This circumstance forms
no objedtion to inoculate
with vaccine matter. Nu
merous experiments justify
the assertion.
Nothing of this kind has
ever appeared in this disease;
•nd the constitutions of
children have been improved
by its communication,
*- . . J y
No instance of the Vuid
lias ever happened.
In this disease (even in
the natural way) I never
observed any pustules.
This objeftion doe* not
apply to tlie cow pox, as it
is neither contagious, nor
communicable by effluvia.
Here no medicines are
required.
Little anxiety can be felt
in this disease, as it is never
attended with the least dan
ger.
This disease does not.
