Sir : Vaccination liar now be.-n -i,b-
tnitted to the test of another > ear'* ex
perience, and the result i* tin increase
(■four confidence in (lie ben,-lit* ol it.
We are happy to any, that it app, ,tr* to
have been practised more exnriri-<riy
than it was, notwithstanding the n.ftu-
encc of ex.i r-rsted rumors of the fre
quent ovori encu of -mill pox subse-
queull' the mind' n t -nine person*,
and toe rtlir nte prejudices of olheis,
who still ccntious to adopt inoruli n
i >r that dices*#. 'I lie unavoidable v
• q once of the latter praclice is to sup
ply a constant source of infection, and to
put the merit* of varcinaiion perpetual
ly tn the severest trial.
Gfsmall pm, n tbe modified and pe
culiar form which it ..>» i:„e*. when it
a'tacks a patient, who lias hi r,, pi "vimis-
ly vaccinated, many cases indeed i,a
been reported to tie, tn the com f
l ist year, and some hive fallen with
the sphere of our own ubsei vation ; but
the disorder ha* alw at * run a sale tourtc
being uniformly exempt ft on, the secon
dary fever, in winch til*’ patient dies
most commonly, when he die* ol small
pox.
For the truth of this assertion we ap
peal lo the testimony of the whole me
dical world. Aud for a proof that tha
number of such cases bear* no propor
tion to the thousand* who have profil
ed, to the fullest extent of security, by
it* protecting influence, we appeal con
fidently to all who frequent the theatrts
and crowded asaemlilie*, to admit that
they do not discover in the rising gene
ration any lunger that disfigurement of
the human face, which tin* obvioui eve
ry where some years since.
Tn account for occasional failures, nf
which we readily admit Ihe existence,
something is to be attributed to those
animo.ilies which prevail throughout na
ture, and which the physician observe*,
not in some peculiar conslilution* only,
but in the same constitution at different
period* of life, rendering the human
frame at one time susceptible of disor
der hum a mere change of the wind, nnd
capable, at another, of insisting the most
malignant and subtle contagion. But
amongst the most frequent sources of
failure which have occurred, and will
for some time continue to occur, i* t#
be numbered that careless facility wilh
which unskilful bocsvolcnce undertook
to perform vuccination in the early years
of tbe discovery; for experience haB
taught u*, that a strict inquiry into the
condition of the patient to be vaccinated,
great utienii n tn the state of the matter
to be inserted, and a vigilant observa
tion of the | rogress. of the vehicles, on
the part of tbe operator, are ail essen
tially necessary to its complete *ucces*.
That less enlightened parents should
hcritate to accept a substitute for inocu
lation, which i* not perfect in all it* pre
tensions, and absolutely and altogether
effectual to exempt the object* oftheir
solicitude from every future possible in
convenience, docs lot surprise u« ; but
wo cannot forbear to expres* our un
qualified ri probation of the conduct of
those Medif al Practitioner*, w ho, know
ing well that vaccination scarcely occa
sions the slightest indisposition, thnt it
spread* nocontagion, that in n very lareD
proportion of cases it affords an entire
